If you enjoy Jane Austen, then you’re in for a treat with this collection of stories! All twelve of the stories nest nicely alongside the canon tales that they are inspired by, giving the reader an expanded view of scenes that were not included in Austen’s books.  My personal favorite was the titular “Pride and Perjury” which is told from Mr. Elton (from Emma )’s point of view. I found it hilarious to witness his adventures in Bath, as he tries to decide which heiress will be

This romantic suspense variation dives right into the action, when Elizabeth and Darcy find themselves kidnapped in Hunsford.  In forced proximity, while facing their fears of being tortured or killed, they must also battle the inner turmoil of their feelings in the aftermath of Elizabeth’s rejection of Darcy’s proposal.  This book is not for the faint of heart and will definitely keep you on the edge of your seat. I was up late more than one night to read “just one more chap

Words cannot adequately describe how this book makes me feel, but I will attempt nonetheless.  If you have not read this book yet, drop whatever book you were reading or planning to read next and Go. Read. This. Book! Seriously!! I cannot recall the last time I read a book that so thoroughly moved me, gripped me, and rocked me to the core.   This is quite possibly the best JAFF book I have ever read– and I have read a lot. I literally wept through the entire last chapter, it

Reviewed by Amanda Kai What do a group of actor's parents, a storm, and a million-dollar disco ball have in common? Why, they all play a part in the madness that descends upon Camp Jane! Ever a source of hilarity, Susan Andrews delights fans once again as her characters playing the roles of Jane Austen reenactors return to the Regency Resort, nicknamed "Camp Jane." Only this time, their parents have come to stay as well for a special staff-only weekend to celebrate the weddin

“I have an outspoken Yankee Doodle from the future living in my house for the next three months.” Just one of many humorous lines that made me laugh out loud in this Pride and Prejudice variation that was both comedic and gripping alternately. Nine Ladies blends elements of Lost in Austen, Outlander, and Kate & Leopold to create a delightful time-travel romance that will appeal to any Jane Austen fan who ever fancied traveling back in time to live at Pemberley in 1811- or ima

Miss Tilney finally gets the love story she deserves! I was so thrilled when I first learned that Heather Moll was coming out with a new Northanger Abbey story. Not only are Northanger Abbey fics altogether too rare, but I have long thought that Eleanor Tilney deserved to have her story told. Heather did a beautiful job in giving life to that titled gentleman mentioned so briefly in the original novel with her creation of Phillip Brampton. I thought that the calm, mathematica

Oh. My. Goodness! First things first, I have to say, if you have not read this book yet, you need to do so immediately! I read many Jane Austen variations, and while there are plenty that I adore, there are few that hold me captive in as much rapacious interest as this one did. Stranded With Mr. Darcy was everything that it promised to be and more. A tantalizing adventure that throws Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy alone on a deserted island, struggling to survive. Just the right amo

It’s no easy task setting a beloved 19th century classic in the modern age, but Sayantani Gupta does it with style in her young-adult rom-com, Debating Darcy. Rather than country houses and ballrooms, this Pride and Prejudice remake takes place in the world of high school debate team competitions. Leela Bose is the spirited, musical-loving, modern-day Elizabeth Bennet who clashes with the privileged and uptight Firoze Darcy, a student from the prestigious Netherfield Academy

Charming to the last sentence, Alice McVeigh’s “Harriet” is a delight to read! An expertly written narrative that emulates Jane Austen’s style wonderfully, this retelling of Emma gives us the story from the dual perspectives of Harriet Smith and Jane Fairfax. I loved that this vantage allows us to see some scenes that weren’t in the novel, such as Jane’s trip to Weymouth and Harriet’s visit to Brunswick Square. McVeigh gave Harriet a different personality than I would have ex

Sarah Courtney doesn't just go for a straight-up modern Pride and Prejudice, she does it with an interesting twist: Darcy is the adopted son of George and Anne Darcy, but he knew Elizabeth in his childhood under his birth name-- George Wickham. I enjoyed this scenario, especially since Lizzy and Will/George originally bond over books. Lizzy's taste in books (and presumably the author's) is a lot like mine, including Harry Potter, Narnia, and many other classic books. The twis

Jane Austen + Shakespeare? Yes, please! Riana Everly gives a delightful twist to Pride and Prejudice with her combination of quotes and themes from the comic play “Much Ado About Nothing”. Her story starts off in the typical way with Darcy’s insults at the Meryton Assembly, but quickly veers in a new direction when one small change to the canon—Jane breaking her ankle rather than taking ill—sets up the stage for an extended house party at Netherfield. Darcy and Lizzy’s bicker

Darcy Bites puts a gothic twist on the classic Pride and Prejudice story. In this version, Darcy is half-human, half-vampire-- what they call a dhampir. His need for blood is satisfied a la Twilight , via hunting for animals or drinking farm animals' blood obtained from the butcher. But, as Darcy tells Caroline Bingley, "vampires do NOT sparkle!" Vampires and dhampirs do possess some other extraordinary powers, however, including the ability to use psychic callings and sugges

How fast can Elizabeth and Darcy fall in love without Darcy’s “not tolerable” gaffe or the slander of Wickham to fuel Elizabeth’s prejudice? In this story, it only takes one day-- one adventure-filled, hilarious day! Lady Catherine and Anne conspire to trap Darcy into marrying Anne, but he manages to escape his London townhouse, dressed as one of his footmen. Nevertheless, Catherine spreads lies that Darcy has ruined Anne and is honor-bound to marry her, going so far as to pu

Pride and Prejudice meets Agatha Christie in this exciting mystery! The story takes place a year after Darcy and Elizabeth are married. A snowstorm forces the couple to take several guests into their care at Pemberley, but things go awry when some of the guests and Pemberley staff turn up dead. Who-- or what-- could be behind this string of murders? Mysterious things keep happening at Pemberley. Is there a phantom haunting the halls of Darcy’s beloved home? I was on the edg

Have you ever wondered what Pride and Prejudice would have been like if it had been written from Darcy’s point of view instead of Elizabeth’s? Shannon Winslow gives us a wonderful insight into Darcy’s mind during the events that take place in the novel through her story, “Fitzwilliam Darcy, in his own words.” Written in first-person voice in a style that wonderfully captures Austen’s narrative, we see firsthand how Darcy’s own pride and prejudice nearly ruined every chance of

Camp Jane: a place where fantasy meets reality. In a bold and brilliant move, Susan Andrews takes a cue from Austenland to deliver an Austen fan’s ultimate dream: a real-world destination where Janeites can live out their fantasies as if they had been transported to Jane Austen’s world. The Regency Resort, lovingly dubbed "Camp Jane" by its visitors, offers its guests an immersive experience into the stories, which are reenacted by essay winners chosen specifically for the

I am not usually an audiobook reader, but I couldn’t pass up the chance to listen to a review copy of P.O. Dixon’s Pride and Prejudice variation “Lady Elizabeth.” A fresh and original story about Austen’s beloved characters, I thoroughly enjoyed this book! Instead of following the usual P&P plotline, Ms. Dixon poses the idea, “what if Elizabeth had been kidnapped from the Bennets and raised as the granddaughter of a duke?” In this setup, it is Darcy who is considered unsui
