I LOVED this book!!! I have wanted to read it ever since I finished Pride & Prejudice, and it was definetly worth the wait! I Love how the story flows the same, but from a different perspective! Wonderful...

I loved reading from Darcy's pov. Although it wasn't written by Austen, it was still very intriguing and entertaining. And I think the author captured Darcy's personality very well.

I went a little crazy and bought every book I could find that sounded remotely interesting about Pride & Prejudice and Mr. Darcy. This one was quite a quick read and very fun as we don’t get much into the inner workings of Mr. Darcy in the original work. All Darcy and P&P lovers must try this book out. It’s quick and fun and you’ll love it.

Reads like fan-fiction, but like…good fan-fiction. Its nice to read scenes from Darcy’s perspective like him finding Lydia and Wickham and seeing Mr Bennet’s reaction to him asking for Elizabeth’s hand.

A fun read; light and entertaining for those who enjoy Pride and Prejudice. A good choice for those times when you want to read P&P but don't have the time or want something along the same lines but a little fresher. Well done in terms of explaining how Darcy came to love Elizabeth in the first place and why he did various things he did.

This is literally the first book I put on my goodreads "to read" list. I finally read it. I am sad I didn't read it sooner. It was such a fun read.
I am not a huge "Pride and Prejudice" fan. I enjoy the book and the Colin Firth movie. That is about as far as it goes. I don't often read "fan fiction", but I heard this was good and thought I would try. I could very much see the characters I have grown to love. It was interesting to see the (possible) other side of the story. It made me smile and there were times I couldn't put the book down.
The book is written pretty well, but the language is not quite Austen enough. Not a huge complaint. that is hard to do. But, how often can you use the word satirical in a book? In this one at least 20 times and that is, sadly, not an exaggeration. There are several other words that could have been used. It seemed too much.
