The writing wasn't great, everyone was either lying to or manipulating everyone else to a bewildering extent. Darcy went from being unable to countenance a relationship with a single mother to the extreme opposite seemingly because Beth's son had been very brave and polite after breaking his arm. Darcy was supposed to be so full of neuroses from his childhood that I don't think I would have taken him on. Beth and Darcy fell in love despite Beth lying so completely about her life that I fail to see what they could possibly have conversed about on their dates (and indeed the dialogue quoted was sparse and awkward).

Read the latest contemporary romance by national bestselling author Marilyn Brant:A single mother and an ER doctor meet on an Internet dating site-each for reasons that have little to do with finding their perfect match-in this modern, Austen-inspired story. It's a tribute to the power of both "pride" & "prejudice" in bringing two people romantically together, despite their mutual insistence that they should stay apart...Would an Elizabeth Bennet by any other name be as appealing to a Darcy?Beth Ann Bennet isn't looking for love. She's an aspiring social worker using an online alias to study sex-role stereotypes. Dr. William Darcy isn't looking for love either. He's just trying to fund his new clinic by winning a major bet. Both think Lady Catherine's Love Match Website will help them get what they want-fast, easy and without endangering their hearts. Both are in for a big surprise.Pride, Prejudice and the Perfect Match...where true love is just a fib and a click away."Brant couldn't have done a better job at pulling me into the story and keeping me hooked until the end... I liked this book so much that I delayed watching the Season 3 premiere of Downton Abbey!! (This is a huge deal.)" ~Kimberly Denny-Ryder, AustenproseHeart-warming, tender, and sweet - Pride, Prejudice and the Perfect Match is a lovely tribute to Jane Austen and her masterpiece." ~Austenesque ReviewsPraise for Marilyn's debut novel, According to Jane:"A charming book." ~Family Circle"Fresh, original, and lots of fun." ~Barnes & Noble Review"Brant infuses her sweetly romantic and delightfully clever tale with just the right dash of Austen-esque wit." ~Chicago Tribune Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

As blurbs go, this one’s perfect and gives you just enough of a peek and a hook into the story saving me the trouble of summarizing it for you, thus letting me tell you the reasons why I liked it.
Ms. Brant cleverly takes some of the bones of the original, shakes them up, guiding them to their perfect landing and giving us a story that is all her own.
The characters, main and secondary, were three-dimensional to a point that they might have been your neighbors or your friends, that’s how real they felt. The plot was intriguing and kept you in anticipation of the final reveal, which kept the story moving and entertaining.
And just when you thought you got it all figured out, Ms. Brant gives you a surprise or two!
You know what else I liked about this story? It made me remember what my husband once told me and at the time, I don’t think I appreciated his wisdom. He said I was everything he never ....for the rest of my review, I'd be honored you pop over to b2b....Thanks!
