review 1: Usually I'm all for the revenge plots (what can I say? I read a lot of HQ when I was younger... Ok, I still do). I might've had a hard time swallowing that Darcy would be the one making the demands in said revenge plot, but it's a book and I'm good at suspending my disbelief.Or so I thought.First, Darcy never really makes a demand. He glosses over it, lets Elizabeth make her assumptions, and helps her anyway. Then they end up chasing after Lydia and Wickham again, Elizabeth dons a male disguise, and Darcy gets handsy after imbibing too much? Sorry, not in his character. Then again, neither is demanding revenge, but I digress. Up til this point, I could hang with the story. Where it lost me was when Caroline Bingley used witchcraft to try and destroy Elizabeth's reputation.... more I'm fairly certain my eyes bugged out of my head. The ending was hugely rushed and I just didn't enjoy the story overall. I really wish I could get my money back, because I don't feel that it was worth the $4.20 I paid for it.
review 2: I was actually a little disappointed in this book. Reading the synopsis, I was thinking that it would contain a little more revenge on Darcy's part. It was basically a cute (and VERY short) historical romance to me, and I thought the whole Caroline Bingley and the Devil sub-plot was underdeveloped. I didn't feel like it had a real Pride and Prejudice feel.Reading the back I actually felt like Darcy would be bent on some form of revenge after being rejected, and I would have liked him to be more, I don't know, Darcy-ish: instead I kind of felt like he was on his knees the whole time. Cute, but not enough P & P or Mr Darcy for me, and disappointing because the story had a lot of potential. less
