Hi readers! Can you believe I am welcoming back author MJ Stratton with another cover revel?! 😮
She is keeping so busy, isn’t she?! 👩🏼💻
MJ is here to share the cover for Body & Soul – an intriguing new Pride and Prejudice variation where a most surprising double body swap takes place… 🔄
We hope you enjoy! 🤗
~ Book Description ~
She’s in her mother’s body. He’s in her father’s body.
Elizabeth Bennet’s tolerance for her mother’s poor behavior has reached its peak. When Mrs. Bennet enumerates the benefits of her second daughter marrying Mr. Collins, Elizabeth confronts her, declaring a disinclination for the match and pleading with her mother to show sense. Unsurprisingly, Mrs. Bennet does not comply, and the pair go their separate ways for the rest of the evening. Resolved to face the matter on the morrow, Elizabeth is shocked to awaken in the mistress’s chambers—trapped in her mother’s body! Darcy returned to Netherfield Park with his friend Charles Bingley, hoping his presence will prevent the gentleman from making any rash decisions regarding his latest angel. Instead, his attention is once again seized by Elizabeth Bennet, the entirely unsuitable miss with fine eyes and pert opinions. Finally resolved to pursue the lady, he is dismayed to awaken in her father’s body, and to learn the lady he had courted for the past few weeks was not herself.
The two couples must resolve their differences in hopes of restoring their souls to their respective bodies. As time passes, worry the situation will never be rectified presses each party to repair all that is broken.
In this Darcy and Elizabeth low angst Pride and Prejudice variation, two couples must overcome their past misunderstandings whilst in search of their happily ever after. All MJ Stratton’s books are clean and appropriate for all ages.
And without further ado….here is the big reveal!!!
(expected release date: early May)
Where is Hill with the smelling salts!! Talk about unhinged…I am all astonishment! 😲
The night sky, the lightning bolts – there are some curious elements in this cover and I wonder if they are clues… ⚡️
Mrs. Bennet does not look vexed about this body-swap at all! I can only imagine what mischief she will get into! 🙈
I love that this two sets of characters experiencing a body-swap, and I can’t wait to see how Darcy’s and Elizabeth’s relationship is impacted by this. 💕
What do you think, friends? 🤔

What a fun premise – I love MJ Stratton books and look forward to a new one.
Thank you! I hope you enjoy this “freaky Friday-esque” variation!
I’ve read a number of her books and am so definitely looking forward to this one! At least as Mrs Bennet Elizabeth isn’t going to make herself marry Mr Collins? I anticipate the reactions of Mr and Mrs Bennet, hopefully he’ll refrain from tormenting her.
Thank you for your kind words! No spoilers, but I will say your suppositions *may* be right!
I think body exchanges are such a fun plot. And I think any Stratton story is a guaranteed pleasure. Soo, I guess we have a winner!
You are so kind! I hope you love this book! It was a lot of fun to write!
Brilliant premise, can’t wait to read the published book. Knowing that Mrs Bennet is determined that Elizabeth marries Mr Collins, I dread to think what Mrs B will come up with to forward the match.
If Mr Bennet and Darcy also swapping places, will the real Mr & Mrs Bennet recognise their spouse.
Good questions! I hope you love the story!
This one I have to read! It promises endless fun. The cover looks original and wonderful.
Pemberley Darcy did the cover! She puts up with my particular tendencies, and I am very grateful to her for that! Thank you for your kind words!
Oh boy! I see the potential for both fantastic and horrible things with this kerfuffle!
Congratulations!!
It’s definitely entertaining to twist things in this way! Thank you so much!
I, too, have enjoyed this author’s stories. Thanks for a chance to win a copy. Good luck with the release.
I appreciate the kind words! Best of luck with the giveaway!
Wow! What an amazing premise! Will Mrs Bennet (as Elizabeth) say yes to Mr Collins thinking she’ll swap back in time? Or will she notice Darcy’s attraction for herself and dial up the “arts and allurements” to “catch” him? Will Elizabeth put up with Mr Bennet’s usual treatment for Mrs Bennet while she’s inhabiting that body? What will Mr Bennet think when his “wife” becomes sensible and his favorite “daughter” nonsensical? I CAN’T WAIT TO READ THIS!
Oh, it’s a bundle of hijinks, that’s for sure! Mr. Bennet isn’t terribly likeable at first. I love that as I wrote, a strong mother/daughter bond formed between Elizabeth and Mrs. Bennet!
Wow! This book sounds like great fun! Can’t wait to read it and love the cover!
Thanks!!
Terri, you’re forgetting Darcy is Mr. Bennet. This does sound like a romp!
Haha, I hope you enjoy the book! I will say, the gentlemen switch a little later into the story, so Terri’s predictions are spot on!! Hmm… how do you think Mr. Bennet will respond to his ‘wife’s’ changes??
You’re right, Mary! That certainly adds to ball of confusion. Now I have a million more questions to get excited about.
APRIL FOOLS? It was a dark and stormy night… How mysterious! How fun! Putting this on TBR pile!
Oh, this seems like a fun idea! Thank you for the chance to win a copy. I am imagining Mrs B in Elizabeth’s body throwing herself at the officers – the mind boggles!
It takes some time to get them united. Mrs. Bennet and Elizabeth both come to understand the other better!
Thanks! I hope you love it!
Now this is a twist!
Very Fun! Congratulations on a new release and for sharing here.
Thank you Jennifer!
Let the shenanigans ensue! Another exciting book (aren’t they all?!) from MJ Stratton. Can’t wait!
Thanks! I hope I don’t disappoint!
Wow! That’s a first, I think.
Hope you love it!
P&P meets Freaky Friday, I’m in! I’m collecting books for a trip I have coming up and I’m adding this to the list.
I hope it’s a leisure trip! Thanks for your support!
Goodness, I can envision Mrs Bennet in Lizzy’s body compromising Mr Darcy publicly, but if Mr Darcy is really Mr Bennet, I wonder if he would cooperate. Hmm. I can’t wait to read it.
🙂
They definitely have to work together to figure it out!
Looks like it will be a fun read. Life changing for all four of them.
Very much!
I love the premise and already know this is one I’d enjoy.
Thanks! I hope it meets your expectations!
Have to admit, the body swap trope is not a favorite. But improvement of the Mother/daughter relationship is a very meaningful and satisfying one. Looking forward to the story.
People tend to have mixed opinions with this trope! I hope you love this variation!
I am usually not a fan of “body-swap” stories, but this sounds intriguing and entertaining. I am putting it on my TBR list.
It’s definitely a split trope! I’ve read ones that I absolutely love and some that I didn’t. I hope this one is a variation you enjoy!
Wow this is such an interesting premise. I don’t think I have heard of another Pride and Prejudice variation with this type of body swap. I’m eager to read and see how it all plays out. –Leslie
Thanks Leslie! I hope you enjoy it!
Well that sounds interesting to say the very least. Look forward to getting my hands on it. I am a big fan of MJ s work.
Thank you so much Terri!
Looks like there’s potential for all sorts of unexpected things to happen!
It was certainly fun to write! I hope you love it.
Oh, this sounds fun! Thanks for the chance to win a copy of the book.
Good luck!
This sounds like a fun read and I find the cover funny lol
The cover is exactly what I pictured! It was so fun to collaborate with Pemberley Darcy creating it!
You’re assured of a fun read with a Mrs. Bennet body swap! Oh, the shenanigans she will cause!
She has some hidden depths, for sure!
I just read The Lake house at Ramsgate by the author and loved it. Would be happy to win a copy of her new book

Love the cover!! I can’t wait to read it
