Fellow fans of the talented and brilliant Abigail Reynolds:
Sourcebooks, Inc. will be issuing two titles from Abigail Reynolds this upcoming spring and summer! I am very eager and excited to read and review these two lovely novels here on Austenesque Reviews even though I have had the pleasure of reading them both before. I look forward to revisiting these two gems from Ms. Reynolds and to once again immerse myself in the her wonderful writing!
The Man Who Loved Pride and Prejudice
Available on May 4th
Mass Market Paperback ($6.99)
Previously Published as:Pemberley by the Sea in 2008
Synopsis from amazon.com:
Marine biologist Cassie Boulton has no patience when a modern-day Mr. Darcy appears in her lab on Cape Cod. Proud, aloof Calder Westing III is the scion of a famous political family, while Cassie’s success is hard-won in spite of a shameful family history.
When their budding romance is brutally thwarted, both by his family and by hers, Calder tries to set things right by rewriting the two of them in the roles of Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet from Pride & Prejudice…but will Cassie be willing to supply the happy ending?
**This title will also be available for Kindle download!
To Conquer Mr. Darcy
Available on August 3rd
Mass Market Paperback ($6.99)
Previously Published as: Impulse and Intiative in 2008Synopsis from amazon.com:
In the Pride and Prejudice Variations series, Abigail Reynolds explores the roads not taken in Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, imagining lively plot twists and ecstatically happy endings. Here the story picks up from a pivotal point in Pride and Prejudice—Mr. Darcy’s infamously botched proposal of marriage. What if, instead of disappearing from her life after Elizabeth Bennet refuses his awkward marriage proposal, Mr. Darcy took the initiative and tried to change her mind? In Conquering Mr. Darcy, Darcy follows Elizabeth back to her home in Hertfordshire and sets about making himself so irresistible her impulses win out over her sense of propriety until, madly in love and mutually on fire, their passion anticipates their wedding.
These books are fantastic if…
- You are looking for a smaller and more portable editon of Impulse and Initiaive or Pemberley By the Sea to take with you while you read by the pool or on the beach.
- You are like me and have the self-published editions and have yet to purchase the newer Sourcebooks editions.
- You haven’t read or purchased any of Abigail Reyolds book yet! What are you waiting for?
Two New Releases from Abigail Reynolds! What a spectacular way to begin and end the summer season!
These are great and I hope they will be available in India! The Man Who Loved Pride and Prejudice especially sounds intriguing 🙂
Thanks for spotlighting these books!
Thanks Meredith! I knew To Conquer Mr. Darcy was a republish but I haven’t yet had the time to look it up and figure out which one. Impulse and Initiative was my first Pride and Prejudice Variation and remains one of my favorites.
Someday, when funds are flush, I’m going to buy the second editions of all these books I already have and love. Someday…
i love jane austen but have not read any of these! they sound marvellous!
