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 amount of teasing sexual tension without ever going beyond clean and sweet for heat level. My mouth drooled with anticipation for each delicious morsel that this author served up, chapter by chapter, leading up to the satisfying conclusion.
Mei Wei Lin was masterful in her delivery of a story that felt true to Austen’s characters, with language and humor that perfectly echoed Austen’s style. This was the first book I have read by this author, but it definitely won’t be the last.
