Falling for Mr Darcy by KaraLynne Mackrory

4.0

I do not have many variations that I like but this one will be added to that list. It was long, sweet torture in the middle for a stretch but it worked out. I only wish the happy ending lasted longer before the end of the book.

Late last year I discovered I actually do love P&P adaptations. Since then I have read quite a number and am always looking to discover an adaption by someone I haven't read before, because, who knows? They might just become my new favorite. Before reading Falling for Mr. Darcy, by Karalynne Mackrory, my favorite adaptation authors were Jann Rowland and Jennifer Joy (who are both excellent, you should definitely read their books too). Now I have added Karalynne Mackrory to that favorites list (still can't decide on an order).This book was sweet and clean and thoroughly enjoyable. As always, E&D get their happy ending (which is a must for P&P adaptations).

This is me trying to read as many of these P&P variations as possible before my Kindle Unlimited subscription expires. This one was okay, it starts on the premise of Darcy taking Elizabeth home after she suffers a minor injury on one of her walks. That's fine I guess, but like a couple of the other variations I read, there was no central misunderstanding.

I'm reading these because the first one I read so artfully rewrote the central misunderstanding of pride and prejudice that the original so artfully displayed. That's the fun part about variations, seeing how far you can bring the plot away from the original while maintaining the characterizations and the struggles. Here, it was fine as a historical romance of this period, it just didn't feel very accurate to the characters.

So it was ok, it wasn't extraordinary. The injury at the beginning didn't make as much of an impact on the plot-line as the synopsis leads you to believe, so that's annoying. But there were some good moments here and it ranks pretty average in the available variations.

It was very cute, but over half way through it I was loosing interest from the plot.
