review 1: This is a retelling of the classic Pride and Prejudice story, keeping the fan-favourite moments and changing the things most people wished were different.I really enjoyed this story and I loved the slow burn between Will and Liam. For a modern retelling, I was hoping for a little more heat than there actually was in the story.I would say this leans more towards the aloof book version of Pride and Prejudice as opposed to the massively popular BBC tv version. Still, enough of the story was changed that fans of the classic may be turned off by the way the story develops and there's no real solid sex scenes to satisfy MM readers.I was amused by the alternate version of the wet Darcy scene from the miniseries played out.If you're a fan of passionate romances, this may not be yo... moreur cup of tea.
review 2: Okay. I'm going to make a confession that no romance novel reader should ever make. I've never read Pride and Prejudice, I've only seen the movie. I've tried to read it before and just can't. I don't make it very far before I get bored. This book however was great. I think the modern setting and language makes a HUGE difference for me. I think this had just enough twist to keep it interesting even though you know the story. Some situations are altered to keep it fresh. I really enjoyed Will. And Liam, I had a hard time with willingness to believe everything bad but that didn't last very long before he was set straight so it wasn't too hard to deal with. Other than that Liam was pretty great. I loved the humor throughout the story. This was just a great read! less
