Summary:
In an attempt to get to know the people of London, Texas--the small town that lawyer Eddi Boswick now calls home--she tries out for a local theater group's production of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. She's thrilled to get the role of lively Elizabeth Bennet . . . until she meets the arrogant--and eligible--rancher playing her leading man.
Dave Davidson chose London, Texas, as the perfect place to live under the radar. Here, no one knows his past, and he can live a quiet, peaceful life with his elderly aunt, who also happens to own the local theater. Dave doesn't even try out for the play, but suddenly he is thrust into the role of Mr. Darcy and forced to spend the entire summer with Eddi, who clearly despises him.
Sparks fly every time Eddi and Dace meet, whether on the stage or off. But when Eddi discovers Dave's secret, she has to admit there might be more to him than she thought. Maybe even enough to change her mind . . . and win her heart.
My Thoughts:
This book sounded somewhat interesting--but it really wasn't for me. I feel like there could have been a lot better story. A retelling with them acting in the original? Not that interesting.
With that said, I did enjoy the fact that the characters (most of them, anyway) were really well developed, which kind of made up for the not-so-interesting storyline. Retellings aren't supposed to have that much resemblance to the original story.
My Rating: 1 star
**I received this book for free from the publisher to review. Thank you!!!**
