Room for Improvement
Only imagine a summer by the sea. Perhaps you will meet the love of your life.
When Elizabeth Bennet inherits a crumbling seaside mansion in Brighton, she expects renovation headaches but not romantic chaos. All plans for a peaceful restoration are shattered when the VIscount Saye rents the property before it's even remotely habitable and arrives to stay with his cousin Mr Darcy in his party.
Mr Darcy, his pride wounded from Elizabeth’s rejection in Kent and his cousin’s insinuation that heartache has made him stout, hopes a seaside escape will do him good. But when his new land lady is revealed to be the woman who spurned him, it soon becomes clear that the house is an apt metaphor for his own romantic aspirations. Every repair reveals a new disaster, every encounter with Elizabeth leads to a heated argument—or a stolen kiss—and no amount of fresh plaster can cover the cracks of their passionately volatile relationship. But there is always room for improvement.
With their undeniable attraction brewing and a house quite literally crumbling around them, can two stubborn hearts find their way to happiness amid the rubble?
Room for Improvement is a low angst, novel length Pride and Prejudice variation set by the sea in Brighton. It is a romantic comedy (RomCom) enemies to friends to lovers variation with a love triangle and a heroic Darcy as well. Content is closed door.

A Regency RomCom Done Right
I had such a good time with this story. Viscount Saye, everyone’s favourite busybody, kind of steals the show, but Darcy’s heartsore, and you can’t help but feel for him. Fresh from heartbreak, he’s been in London drowning his sorrows with cream ices. I hooted at the name of the new shop he discovers. Saye has leased the only house not already let in Brighton for the summer, arriving before it is habitable. Darcy discovers Elizabeth is there, and, to his utter surprise, she owns the rundown house. He is at once full of hope, but then realises he may have a rival. Rivals give me angst!
There is so much humour throughout. The state of the house is brilliant, almost a character in itself. It brought memories of the film The Money Pit—one scene in particular near the beginning when the door falls forward (watch the trailer for fun).
There’s no Wickham in this story, but Lydia still manages to get herself in a heap of trouble, dragging Georgiana along with her and causing her guardians to run to the rescue, accompanied by Saye—and Florizel.
And Darcy’s declaration to his rival? It is one of those scenes that makes you want to cheer out loud. I absolutely did.
Honestly, when Jessie Lewis and Amy D’Orazio team up, you just know you’re in for something good. Room for Improvement is funny, angsty, romantic, and thoroughly enjoyable—a seaside romp with heart.

What a wonderful and entertaining story. Elizabeth’s inheritance really puts a new twist into how this story unfolds. With proper Lizzy and bashful serious Darcy, it is Lord Saye that really stole the show for me. So observant and downright playful with his relatives, this is a guy that continues to poke fun and do outrageous things to often serve his own ego. While Darcy and Lizzy were central to the story it was Saye who was the most entertaining. Loved watching so many details revealed in new ways with wonderful closure in the end. I enjoyed it so much I put it on my read-again list for annual perusal.

Emo eating and a dilapidated beach house. What could possibly go wrong!
One month following the failed Hunsford proposal find Elizabeth inheriting a clunker of a Brighton beach house, via an old aunt and Darcy on a fast path to paunchville via his new favorite ice-cream (shout out to Ben and Jerry). He can't seem to climb out of his emotional funk.
Enter Lord Saye who simply must be in Brighton for the gaming tables, and our dear couple cross paths over and over again, including multiple misunderstandings and even more enticingly multiple viewings of hubba-hubba Darcy in wet shirts. Elizabeth already had strong emotional feelings for him. Now she was experiencing serious physical attachment, too. Both privately yearn to patch things up together.
This lighthearted story is an ensemble cast, with Saye up to his usual high-jinks, the perfect foil to dour Darcy, and Lydia and Georgiana creating a bit of a ruckus all by themselves.
Rounding it out are a few Original Characters to heighten the misunderstandings and bring an additional aspect of alternate society.
Ms Lewis and Ms. D'Orazio are a lethal combo. Bringing entertainment and swoony scenes for our reading pleasure!
4.5*

Review of advance copy received from Publisher
What a situation ODC find themselves in! I was unsure whether the circumstances ended up being a curse or a blessing at times because this second-chance romance doesn't come easily!
Elizabeth finds herself an Heiress after her aunt leaves her a dilapidated house on prime beachfront property in Brighton. It's this that brings the effervescent Lord Saye to her door with an offer she can't refuse... let him lease her last available property in exchange for help with the repairs. I loved how the house functions as a character in the story both moving Elizabeth and Darcy closer and further apart simultaneously and forcing them to confront their feelings and desires when everything is screaming, "bail now!"
I loved the heartsick Darcy in this story. His portrayal humanized him in a way that was incredibly relatable - he could eat his feelings, reluctantly work out, make a fool of himself for a girl he likes and kiss like a star. The first kiss between Elizabeth and Darcy was absolutely electric - only for more curveballs to arise. Elizabeth and Darcy both have to fight hard for their happily ever after with misunderstandings and the (haunted?) house constantly keeping them apart.
I also liked that the authors chose to have Elizabeth in Brighton at the same time as Lydia, making a different kind of mischief in the absence of Wickham. It was absolutely wild! I couldn't help but chuckle through her rescue and repentance. Lydia is both partly responsible for spreading rumors about Elizabeth, but I love her silly recompense at the end that helps to bring Darcy back to Elizabeth's door.
This was a funny, sweet and surprising Regency romp. Jessie Lewis and Amy D'Orazio teaming up again for this new story checks all my boxes!
I received a copy of this story for consideration. All thoughts contained here are my own.

4.5 rounded up to 5 stars.
Soon after the Hunsford proposal, Elizabeth inherits a house in Brighton along with money to complete planned and much needed renovations from an aunt on her father's side.
She and the Gardiners travel to Brighton and are inspecting the house, when Viscount Saye shows up and insists that he be allowed to lease the house for the summer. However, the plan is that he will give Miss Bennet time to complete some needed repairs before returning with his party.
However, he shows up two weeks later with his cousins, Darcy and Georgiana, and his brother, the Colonel. We have another character, the son of the neighbor, a Mr. Hartham, who just happens to also be looking for a wife and now has his eye on Elizabeth.
The house plays a part in this story, with walls collapsing, rumors it is haunted, a pianoforte which has fallen through the floor, etc. We also have Lydia who is there with Colonel Forster and his wife, Harriet. Wickham is not part of this story but Lydia still finds trouble and this time it is not Kitty whom she persuades to join in her flirt with impropriety.
And, of course, we do have a misunderstanding, which plays a big part in keeping ODC from coming together...despite an arduous first kiss.
I enjoyed this story. Both authors are favorites of mine.

https://myjaffobsession.blogspot.com/...
In the summer following her disastrous visit to Hunsford, Elizabeth Bennet inherits a ramshackle beachfront mansion in Brighton.
She begins the slow process of arranging for the renovation and repair.
Fitzwilliam Darcy has been nursing his wounded pride since his rejection following the worst proposal in literary history.
Darcy's cousin, Lord Saye decides that Darcy, Georgiana Darcy and Colonel Fitzwilliam deserve a holiday by the sea.
As with any last minute booking, the choices are limited. Anything left is too small or too far from the sea.
Lord Saye spots Elizabeth's house and investigates. He insists on leasing the ruin, despite the amount of work required to make it habitable. A date of occupation is agreed.
Work continues apace, but as one issue is fixed, two more are revealed.
Elizabeth makes an evening site visit with a friend, only to find Lord Saye and his party in residence (several weeks early).
The awkwardness is made worse, when Darcy and Elizabeth see each other.
Misunderstandings abound, with Darcy providing his worst insult yet.
The house seems determined to crumble into the sea, requiring Elizabeth to be frequently at the house to sort things out.
Darcy redeems himself, Georgiana is delighted with Elizabeth, while Lord Saye and Florizel steal every scene!
Very enjoyable.

This one did not hit
This was a no-angst story, but not by intention. The book dawdles on about a two-minute conversation that D&E need to have for entirely too long. Perhaps even an entire third of the book focused on Having the Conversation, which didn’t create, let alone increase, angst. It ticked off this reader no end.
The Lydia subplot failed to be dramatic, and Saye didn’t have enough to do.
I know these authors can write better than this, which increases my disappointment.
2.75 star rating, but upped it to three because the authors know that Brighton’s beaches are rocky, not sandy. Well done, that!

3.5 stars. I enjoyed it, but personally the misunderstandings and how long they were drawn out turned me off a little bit

Loved it. The last scene.

DNF. I fear for the future of Elizabeth's children and their upbringing when I see her meek response to her sister Lydia's ruinous foolishness and callous irresponsibility. That Elizabeth would then entrust Lydia with a letter of such importance to Darcy, relegates her to the same level of idiocy as her infantile sister. I did not read another line. This is how in one fell swoop you kill a book that had been holding up well until then.
A comedy requires the same narrative consistency as a tragedy. Somewhat unexpectedly from these two authors, there is much 'room for improvement'.

Another delightful book by two superb authors. Lord Saye is my favorite and he got several hilarious scenes in this book. I love it when he proves he is sublimely intelligent and caring. This plot was lovely, I enjoyed the new characters and complications. Very funny and very romantic also. The only bad thing I can say is it is too short. I will read it again and again.
Review of advance copy
Elizabeth is overjoyed, she has inherited a house in Brighton. As it is in dire need of repairs she and her Gardiner relations travel to Brighton to oversee the work and take a holiday.
The house is remarkable but with every crumbling room fixed a new problem arises. In the midst of the renovations Lord Saye arrives to rent the property for summer - only to then arrive earlier than planned with the work still unfinished. He and his party, his cousin Fitzwilliam Darcy amongst them, need to make do with what has already been accomplished. Both Darcy and Elizabeth are shocked to learn that she is the landlord renting the house to his cousin.
Will their new encounter change their relationship or has Elizabeth's rejection in Kent cut all ties between them? Will they be able to be honest to one another about their feelings? Or will Elizabeth’s crumbling seaside house conspire against them?
The story was very well written by the authors Jessie Lewis and Amy D’Orazio. I like both authors very much and with them working together you get a really charming story with all the best these two authors can offer. I thoroughly enjoyed this charming and witty story and will definitely read it again soon.
As Amy D’Orazio is one of the authors, Lord Saye is one of the main Characters. And I liked him so very much. Many of his conversations are so hilarious that I could not stop laughing out loud while reading. He really is an eccentric person. And despite all his eccentricities he has a good heart and tries to help Darcy along to convince Elizabeth of his fine qualities and his worthiness.
I really loved the tension between Darcy and Elizabeth. Both are very aware of one another. As the story takes place after the Hunsford proposal Elizabeth is aware of Darcy’s feelings and she had time to think about everything and change her opinion of Darcy. Darcy, on the other hand, is still in love with Elizabeth and he had time to think about the accusations Elizabeth had hurled at him. Both are changed people who now meet again with a better understanding of one another. And Elizabeth is finally able to recognize Darcy’s past admiration and to admit to herself the attraction she feels for Darcy.
Elizabeth and Darcy are both portrayed in a very realistic and human way. I liked that very much. Both are jealous when there are potential rivals, both are a bit afraid of again making a mistake and messing this up and both hope for a new beginning to not repeat their mistakes from the past.
I really love Elizabeth’s house. Yes it’s crumbling, yes it is not modern and yes it means a lot of work for Elizabeth but, in my opinion, her house is so charming. I really liked it and the atmosphere it provided. And it was also the perfect stage for her reunion with Darcy. Like the house this relationship has its construction sides. Nothing is perfect, a lot of work is to be done but the result in the end will be charming and satisfying and it will make them perfectly happy.
There are no real villains in the story. As the story takes place in Brighton, the Bingleys and Bennets stay (mostly) at home. Darcy takes care of Wickham before the militia goes to Brighton therefore he is not there to act as villain or to interfere in ODC’s happiness. But who needs enemies when one has friends with the ability to interfere ;-)
Because of the new place there are some new main characters in the story, one is the nephew of Elizabeth’s new neighbour. I liked him well enough as long as he was Elizabeth’s friend but his enthusiasm sometimes leads to difficult situations for Elizabeth.
If you like to know how Elizabeth’s inheritance of a house in Brighton brings Darcy back in her life and changes her relationship to him, you should definitely read this excellent book.
I highly recommend it.

Review of advance copy
Room for Improvement: A Pride and Prejudice Variation is a delightful tale of romance, mischief, the perils of home renovation, the addictive properties of Benjamin and Gerald's cream ice (*wink-wink*), and heated reactions to Mr. Darcy's physique when he is both in his shirtsleeves and doused with water (which happens more frequently than you might expect). Oh, and the infamous Lord Saye from Amy D'Orazio's Pride and Prejudice universe has a major role, too. He is a rascally character who always causes mayhem, and he does not disappoint here.
The story begins after Darcy has proposed and been rejected by Elizabeth, and she is back at Longbourn. The militia is headed for Brighton, and Lydia will be going there with her friend, Mrs. Forster. The family receives word that Augusta Bennet has died and left a seaside house in Brighten and a sizable amount of money to Elizabeth, who is her niece and goddaughter. When Elizabeth and her father go to evaluate the property, the ocean view is magnificent. Unfortunately, the house itself is a veritable wreck that will require much of her inheritance money to make habitable. But since the Gardiners are already going there for the summer (rather than the Lakes District) and staying with a dear friend of Aunt Gardiner, Elizabeth decides she will join them and take on the fixer-upper project, knowing that will significantly increase her new home's value before she puts it up for sale.
Lord Saye, meanwhile, has determined that he will spend the summer in Brighton and bring his relations with him. No matter that there are sure to be no houses available at such a late date; he bets his brother (Colonel Richard Fitzwilliam) and cousin (Darcy) that he will find one. Naturally, the only one he can find is the house Elizabeth just inherited, and he gives her no possibility of refusal despite the obvious need for massive repairs. He exerts his influence to provide a more competent foreman and additional workers, but it is still a LONG way from finished when he shows up two weeks before the time he had stated he would take possession--accompanied by Darcy, Richard, and Georgiana.
Of course, both Darcy and Elizabeth feel a great deal of regret over what happened at Hunsford. Neither quite knows how to act around the other in these circumstances, but both have their hopes. Things get more complicated when Elizabeth's new neighbor, Lady Preston, keeps pushing her and her nephew, Mr. Harthan, together AND a certain Miss Larkin keeps attaching herself to Darcy like a limpet. Plus, despite Mr. Wickham having been dealt with early and off-page, Lydia is fully capable of getting into serious trouble even without his bad influence.
Misunderstandings abound, as do renovation complications...and is this house haunted?
This pairing of Ms. Lewis and Ms. D'Orazio has created a plot that is ridiculous but fun, and the romance is sizzling. The light tone of the writing matches the story, and it is quite well edited.
Content is clean (but still hot!)

Things get more complicated when Elizabeth's new neighbor, Lady Preston, keeps pushing her and her nephew, Mr. Harthan, together AND a certain Miss Larkin keeps attaching herself to Darcy like a limpet. Plus, despite Mr. Wickham having been dealt with early and off-page, Lydia is fully capable of getting into serious trouble even without his bad influence.
Misunderstandings abound, as do renovation complications...and is this house haunted?
This pairing of Ms. Lewis and Ms. D'Orazio has created a plot that is ridiculous but fun, and the romance is sizzling. The light tone of the writing matches the story, and it is quite well edited.

Such a charming and funny story set in Brighton. I whizzed right through it, chuckling and even laughing right out loud.
Lord Saye, Colonel Fitzwilliam’s elder brother is one of my favorite add-on characters in the world of JAFF, specifically Pride and Prejudice variations. Saye determines Darcy is struggling with heartache after returning from his spring visit to Rosings Park, based on Darcy’s cream ice obsession, and comes up with a house party to cheer him. Saye thinks Brighton in summer will be the perfect spot to entertain Darcy, Georgiana, and Colonel Fitzwilliam. The group is skeptical, however, that a house can be found at this late date, but Saye takes this as a challenge and seeks a house with a sea view in the most desirable areas of Brighton.
Meanwhile, Elizabeth’s crotchety aunt by marriage, whom only Elizabeth could love, has died. This aunt was the wife of Mr Bennet’s late elder brother, who left him Longbourn, and has no children.
Aunt Bennet leaves Elizabeth a dilapidated house in, of all places, Brighton, with sufficient funds to complete repairs. Mr and Mrs Bennet believe it is not worth pursuing the renovation and refuse to even view the house. But, Aunt and Uncle Gardner believe they can at least take a look at the house with Elizabeth and determine if the property can benefit from updating, thus providing Elizabeth with a valuable legacy. They arrange their planned visit with friends in Brighton to include Elizabeth. Since Lydia is already in Brighton, the trip can serve dual purposes, including keeping an eye on the youngest Bennet.
As expected, Lord Saye has not found a house for his party. He barges in and insists Elizabeth’s house will be perfect, as it is the only house available in Brighton. As the house falls down around their ears, Elizabeth tries to explain it will take at least 12 months or more to complete the repairs. But, Saye will not listen and says he will take the lease, invest in the renovation and send a man to get work underway.
The rest of the story is a combination of jealous misunderstandings, a bogus engagement, collapsing house features, ghost stories, and misbehavior that may result in scandal. Oh, and lots of water. Will Darcy and Elizabeth have their happy ever after in this farce?
Truly, Room for Improvement is an enjoyable comedy based on Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, with many added characters. I found the writing witty and imaginative. Although a touch bizarre, there was a crazy believability as all members of the party find it impossible to argue with Saye, who believes anything he wishes is possible. The situations are almost all of Saye’s making, although others add to the chaos, specifically a rival for Elizabeth’s attentions, and, of course, Lydia.
I found few, if any errors, as the book has been well edited. I hope this becomes an audiobook as I can’t wait to experience it in that format. Highly recommended.

A house by the sea. A second chance at love. Possible scandals in the making. Some ghostly encounters. But wait for it…Darcy getting drenched multiple times?
“Elizabeth was suddenly very interested in the prospect. Time spent away from Longbourn, or any place where she might encounter gentlemen who wished to expound upon the subject of her inferiority, would be a welcome respite.” (quote from the book)
What an apt title for this variation! More than just the home in Brighton that Elizabeth has inherited from her aunt needs improvement! Darcy has been pining away in London trying to forget Elizabeth after his disastrous proposal by indulging in cream ices. His waistline is being affected! (Shout out to B&J - I lived in Burlington, Vermont when Ben & Jerry’s first opened their ice cream shop…yummy) When his mischievous cousin, and one of our favourite original characters, Viscount Saye, rents Elizabeth’s home before ‘improvements’ are made and invites his cousins to stay with him, will Darcy and Elizabeth have the chance to renew and improve their relationship? Or will everything fall down around them?
“Providence was playing a very cruel joke on her, showing her again and again precisely what she had refused – and making her like it more each time” (quote from the book)
Little does she know what awaits her, especially when Viscount Saye interrupts her and Mr. Gardiner’s inspection of her new house in Brighton, insisting on renting it for the season! Little does she know that he is Mr. Darcy’s cousin! With doors falling, a pianoforte in the basement, broken windows and worm rot, Saye offers to cover the repairs. Not sure if one can refuse such an offer from a Viscount, they agree. What ensues is a delightful rom-com of laughter with a bit of angst thrown in when Elizabeth attracts the attention of a gentlemen who is the nephew of her crusty neighbour, Lady Preston.
With the combined talents of Jessie Lewis and Amy D’Orazio, you know you are in for a treat of witty banter, anxious moments and a swoon-worthy Darcy.

Review of advance copy received from Publisher
A comedy that will sure to make you laugh.
The theme of Elizabeth being an heiress is not a new one. However, to had been bestowed a broken house seemed interesting to begin with.
A breathtaking view of the sea, a happily situated property, and an elderly lady to be had as a neighbor, what could go wrong?
Well, apparently, something could. A leaking roof, an uninhabitable chamber, a competitive suitor, and a Darcy accused Elizabeth of being someone’s mistress… This really could be Darcy at his worst!
Yet despite all the pranks, either from Saye to others or the reverse, things seemed to collect themselves into order, and misunderstandings and past grievances forgiven.
A lighthearted and almost comical variation. All the falling plasters and flying bricks, and must-mentioned Florizel, gave a vivid picture when reading, and the story became a page-turner just like a movie.
By the by, a Darcy who seeks sweets for comfort and at the same time cares about his waistline is endearing

Any combination of Jessie Lewis, Amy D'Orazio, and Lord Saye, in a P&P setting, is bound to be entertaining. This original and funny scenario has Elizabeth renovating a seaside cottage in Brighton, which she inherited from an aunt. Lord Saye arranges to rent it for the summer in spite of its dilapidated condition, and with reconstruction going on all around him and his party.
It has been a month since the shocking refusal to his proposal at Hunsford, and Darcy is still blue-deviled from it. Saye convinces him to join the party, along with Georgiana and Colonel Fitzwilliam. Imagine their shock when Elizabeth and Darcy discover the "coincidence". Throw in a rival for her affections, collapsing walls, a haunting, a poorly supervised Lydia, misunderstandings (my least favorite trope), and Lord Saye, and you have a rom com with plenty of laughs.

I don't remember laughing so much as happened to me with Room for Improvement. This book is such a delight! I loved the premise of Elizabeth inheriting a house in Brighton and meeting there Darcy again, after his cousin Lord Saye insisted renting Elizabeth's house even though it was undergoing renovations, which was the setting for extremely funny scenes and another horrible insult. Lord Saye is such a colorful and hilarious side character. He added so much fun to Darcy and Elizabeth's love story, that kept me quite in suspense when a turning point had occurred in the story. Room for Improvement is a wonderful story and by far one of the best Pride and Prejudice rom-coms I have recently read.

Always enjoy reading books by Amy D'Orazio especially when Lord Saye makes an appearance. While this is a book about Darcy and Elizabeth's HEA, Lord Saye plays a major role which kept me smiling throughout the entire book. Book was, as usual, well written and edited. There are the expected misunderstandings between Darcy and Elizabeth - sometimes you really wish they would just talk to each other because once they did, all was quickly resolved. Interesting side story involving Lydia, Georgiana and some ghosts which did not really detract from the overall story. Well worth the time spent reading.

Delightful farce
With these authors, how could it be anything less than delightful? A comedy of errors, a dilapidated and possibly haunted house (but with a view of the sea!), a season in Brighton with Elizabeth and Darcy, but also Lydia and the Forsters, the Gardiners, Lord Saye and Florizel, Colonel Fitzwilliam, and Georgiana, plus an attentive if not heterosexually inclined neighbor intent on securing a bride for himself, and the obligatory young lady determined to win Darcy’s hand (or other parts?). Mayhem, jealousy, and misunderstandings, not to mention a bit of cross-dressing, of course ensue.

A delightful new P&P variation!
These are two of my favorite P&P fanfic authors and they’ve succeeded once again in this delightfully refreshing new story. Ms. D’Orazio and Ms. Lewis share an incredible ability to craft vibrant characters that leap off the page. Their balance between dialogue and prose is seamless.
I think my favorite thing in all their novels is the character of Lord Saye. I really hope that someday they do a series of novels around Lord Saye and Miss Goddard. I think they would be phenomenal.

Two of my favorite authors one great story
This collaboration by Amy and Jessie brings us a story that is emotional and funny in turns as Elizabeth and Darcy encounter each other in Brighton with his sister and cousins - Viscount Saye and Colonel Fitzwilliam - and her aunt and uncle Gardner and sister, Lydia.
I don’t want to give away any of the story as it is delightful to discover on your own. This book is now on my favorites list for reading again in the future. I look forward to Amy and Jessie’s next collaboration and individual books this coming year.

Brighton Inheritance
Elizabeth inherits a crumbling wreck of a mansion in Brighton and hijinks follow. Darcy's cousin Says rents the house as is and brings the family with him. This follows Lizzy's refusal at Rosings and emotions are high. Between the rebuild/remodel of the house, unrequited love, Lydia interference and Caroline Bingley types chasing Darcy, this book is a must read. So much fun on the road to our HEA.

Ice cream is Darcy's downfall
In this delightful romp through Regency romance, our dear Darcy sports a waistline that whispers of emotional ice cream therapy, courtesy of Elizabeth's initial rejection. His cousin Saye, ever the reliable plot catalyst, has swooped in to inhabit the charmingly decrepit domicile bequeathed to our heroine, proving once again that family drama is the spice of literary life.

Throw in Lord Saye, Darcy and Colonel Fitzwilliam, tons of humor and misunderstandings…you can understand why I could not put this book down!!

Love the Collaboration!
Two of my favorite authors and a double winner. Loved the premise and the inclusion of Saye in the mix! Lots of crazy and laugh out loud! He’s the best and makes the story of ODC to HEA so enjoyable. The twist of Lydia and Georgiana antics was also intriguing. Well done!

Loved this book. Lord Saye, Col Fitzwilliam's older brother, is the funniest character and troublemaker I've read in quite a while. The way each main character play off each other, especially the male Fitzwilliam/Darcy cousins, kept me hooked til the end. Funny, occasional low level angst, mild revenge and HEA. A joy to read

I devoured this book faster than Darcy eating cream ices. Absolutely delightful. Darcy and Elizabeth had me laughing with their banter. The setting was unique and memorable. I can’t wait to come back to this book again and again. One of my favorite pride and prejudice variations to date. I can only beg these fabulous authors for more!

light, bright and sparkling!
Just lovely. A balm to read in the current world. The combination of the authors usual suspects and the seaside as a diverting backdrop. Wet shirts and all!
