About the author

Grace Reeve writes swoon-worthy stories inspired by the wit, passion, and unforgettable characters of Jane Austen. With a particular fondness for Mr. Darcy, clever heroines, and slow-burning tension, her novels blend Regency elegance with heart-fluttering romance. When she’s not dreaming up new ways for Elizabeth Bennet to scandalize society, Grace can be found curled up with a cup of tea, a cravat-clad hero, and far too many notebooks.

She lives for grand declarations, stolen glances, and happily ever afters—with just enough mischief along the way.

One of the better Pride and Prejudice variation that I have read.

[Jess Swann · Rating 2 out of 5]

Que dire ? Le roman reprend effectivement à partir du mariage de Darcy et Lizzy et se termine à la naissance de leur premier enfant (un fils of course !) . Entre les deux pas grand chose... Hormis différentes positions sexuelles et quelques petits détails comme des conversations toujours hyper aisées et légères. Georgiania fait quelques apparitions, Lizzy s'endort par ci par là pour avertir le lecteur de la happy news (avant qu'elle le sache). Aucune difficulté, aucune contrainte, aucune mention ou presque des Bennet... Voilà voilà... Même si les scènes érotiques sont bien écrites, on ne peut pas dire qu'il y ait grand chose dans ce livre.


Ce que j'aime : les scènes érotiques détaillées.


Ce que j'aime moins : l'auteure se concentre nettement sur la série BBC (la baignade de Darcy, ses délicieuses boucles qui sont celles de Colin Firth..), il ne se passe rien et de fait l'auteur aurait tout aussi bien pu mettre Tartine et Champignon comme héros.


En bref : Largement dispensable sauf si vous êtes accro aux scénes érotiques entre Darcy et Lizzy


Ma note


4/10

If you're looking for vignettes about Mr and Mrs Darcy's sex life this could be just the thing. To me, the enchanting thing about Pride and Prejudice was the dialogues and the slow growth of mutual understanding and the little jabs at human folly and I didn't really miss any explicit bedroom action. So I ended up skimming a lot of the sex scenes here, but honestly there is not much interaction beyond the sex, or talking about sex.

There are passages that seem to indicate the author had the BBC version in mind while writing. And some typo o s.

I probably would have rated it much better if I came across it on a fan fiction site because it's a pretty good fan fiction but as I got it in the Kindle bookstore next to other books I was expecting a plot, not Colin Firth references.

I read the fanfic version, and I was disappointed. There’s a lot of spelling errors and it’s just smut from beginning to end. That’s ok, but I was hoping/expecting for some cute Elizabeth/Darcy moments, some interaction with Georgiana, some interaction with any other character really and it doesn’t have any of that. Too bad.

A short & condensed post P&P story focused on the intimate (sexy) details of the main couple's marriead life. It was ok, nothing too interesting, nothing offensive either.
You can find it free sometimes in Amazon, so all's well...
