Something I really did enjoy reading!

Ok... So for, as I was reading this story... I'm at 22% right now, but I wanted to get my two sense in... I found through my emails that I previous reviewed this story.

Note: Yesterday, when I was searching through Pride and Prejudice Variations, I came across this book thinking it's a new story. Release date states it's Dec 20, 2017. No reviews... So what's someone to think?

After I finish reading because I will, but so far I have noticed two differences... The format changed as one is reading it, it's on cheese cloth/gauze like paper and the other thing is that the scene with how Lady Catherine met her husband has changed... More tamed. I liked the first version though...

Something I did enjoy reading....

This is an adult theme story (XXX rated) of a Pride and Prejudice Variation and a long EPIC one at that. It started out a great read. It's a real page turner, gets you interested right from the start.

Part 1, Darcy, before he meets Elizabeth, he's determined to put a stop to Lady Catherine and Caroline Bingley manipulations. You have all the characters with slight alterations in personalities. With the added adult theme, I found it an enjoyable read, especially when it came to Lady Catherine and Sir Lewis's relationship! She got what she deserved. You have Caroline and Wickham who are just as horrid. I found humor in a few places that made me chuckle out loud. The low-angst that was mentioned in the book description, was only in our dear couple...which was very low... like... non existent. It was love at first sight, for them both. Other than that, it was the usual catty Caroline and wicked Wickham. The author makes you get anxious at not knowing what will happen next with the villains in waiting and she seems to cover a lot.
One thing, I did not care for the descriptions of all these men jacking off at the sight of Elizabeth in their sick heads. Yes, even cousin Richard! There is a lot going on in this story and the author hits on Mr. Collins, Charlotte, the sisters, Georgiana and even the Hursts... Marriages, births...she has new characters and villains.

For part 2 of this epic triangle love story, I felt there was too much sex. Not all was bad just way too much of it. The story was good, but we didn't need to know all of it... from day to day it seems. And this part or maybe the whole story should of be named "An Iron Will" instead of Resolution and Determination. To be honest, I didn't read any pride or prejudice in our dear couple. There was however a bit in Richard thoughts.

I have read so many different variations...Some following the canon with a little sex here and there...Some not following the canon with a bit of mystery...etc. So... would I recommend this to anyone...Sure if you're not a prude. There is a lot of other things going on in this story that made it very interesting. NO...there is really no pride and prejudice in this story it is a non-canon with lots of I love you's, descriptive sex scenes, murder plots, and a heroine and heros.

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. Reader beware, for this is an erotica novel with sexual situations and polyamory theme. It also contains scenes of some violence and strong language.

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. Generally low-angst for major characters and adult-themes. This is a non-canon story of Darcy and Elizabeth who fall in love quickly and marry after Darcy makes several resolutions to change his life. This story takes a turn when Richard Fitzwilliam falls madly in love with Elizabeth as well and he is also determined to bring about many changes. The usual characters cause some trouble with plots to disrupt their lives but the trio is up for the challenge. 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.

Hot P&P variation

This is a rather erotic Pride and Prejudice variation, with Darcy and Elizabeth married, and Colonel Fitzwilliam becoming their third in a triad.

Elizabeth and Darcy fall in love and get married very quickly, but the story is predominately about the introduction and development of Colonel Fitzwilliam into their lives.

Plenty of hot sexy scenes between Darcy and Elizabeth, and Colonel Fitzwilliam and Elizabeth, and then as their relationship changes there are some Darcy/Elizabeth/Colonel sexy scenes.

I’ve dad this a few times, and keep coming back to it when I want a good erotic Pride and Prejudice story

Pride, Prejudice and Polyamory

This is a rather unusual variation inspired by Jane Austen’s classic novel Pride and Prejudice. Darcy and Elizabeth are happily married but Richard loves her too. Darcy slowly permits Richard into their marriage and bed. It’s lovingly portrayed but if the subject offends you this isn’t the story for you.
