I loved it!

Warning: Meant for mature audiences. Contains scenes that would scandalize the ton. Readers of a delicate constitution are advised to keep their fans and vinaigrettes close at hand. The story is rated ‘Moderate’ for hot romance but not descriptive sex scenes.

It was so enticing that I couldn’t put it down, this book grabbed my interest from the very first page. I couldn’t put it down, I had to know what happened next. The story is well written with a very good storyline. You will see the most beloved characters in a whole new way. This is a Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice variation. This is the third edition of this book, and except for some editing and formatting, it brings nothing new to the readers who already purchased this version.

For those that believe that Elizabeth and Darcy only belong to each other, with no one to separate them, you may not like this story, but I honestly say give it chance. This story might tear your heart out but Elizabeth and Darcy will surely find a way to put it back. This is a romantic, Regency variation, full of angst and drama, and filled with emotions. A story about different types of love, about honour and loyalty, about one’s own happiness and that of others. The road to “Happily Ever After” is set with obstacles to overcome, making the journey more arduous for our beloved characters, and for the readers.

Divided by pride, prejudice, and misunderstandings, betrayed by their temper and wounded by vanity, Elizabeth and Darcy take separate paths in the heat of anger, and are tormented when they must reap what they have sown. Darcy struggles to avoid the woman he loves most ardently, but fate keeps bringing them together. Elizabeth’s thoughts wander to Mr Darcy and, even in his absence, her feelings improve, until she realises he is the only man in the world with whom she could be truly happy. Such revelations come too late when both are bound by promises to others. Can they live a lifetime torn between love and duty?

Stealing a moment of passion one hot summer night, how can Elizabeth and Darcy continue without each other after tasting the delight of being together? There are no real “villains” in this story to interfere between ODC, there is nobody for the readers to blame and to hate. Elizabeth and Darcy’s deep, powerful love is mutually acknowledged but they are still kept apart by their excellent characters, their honour and by promises they have made to the benefit of others.

They are loyal to each other, but not selfish enough to be disloyal to those who need them. Eventually, they will find the strength to satisfy their desires and to reach the well-deserved fulfilment of their passionate love, while continuing to generously use their influence and wealth. So with all that and more this story pulls you in and holds you tight. It’s a must read. I highly recommend to everyone.
