Book: Me and Mr Darcy

Me and Mr Darcy
Alexandra Potter
Amazon Product Link

He's every woman's fantasy...

After a string of disastrous relationships, Emily Albright has had it with modern men.

She'd rather curl up with Pride and Prejudice and step into a time where men were honorable and strode across fields in breeches, their damp shirts clinging to their chests. The men she meets are more into pleated trousers, two-timing and internet porn.

So when her best friend invites her to Mexico for a week of margaritas and manhunting, Emily books a guided tour of Jane Austen country instead.

There are no dream men here. The coach is full of pensioners, apart from one Spike Hargreaves, a foul-tempered journalist writing a piece on why most women would love to date Mr Darcy.

But then she walks into a room and finds herself face-to-face with Darcy himself. And every woman's fantasy suddenly becomes one woman's reality...

Alexandra Potter makes dreams come true in this fun, feel-good fairy-tale about life, love and dating literature's most eligible bachelor.

There's really not much I could say about the book. It's not bad, I actually liked it.  Simply Pride and Prejudice, retold in modern times, with a dash of mystery. It was fun while it lasted.

As a sucker for all things Pride and Prejudice, I'm gonna give this a try. Haha.

Sounds like it could be good! I like a good chic lit book sometimes.

How fast do you read books?

depends on the book and my mood. I sometimes only feel like reading, or sometimes feel like only playing video games. I'm now in my reading mood.

This Mr Darcy book took me a month (but that's because I was reading it at the same time as an Auschwitz book, which I didn't manage to finish in time before I had to return it to the library)

The Peculiar children book though took me around 3 or 4 days. I can actually feel my steam running out so I think the second Peculiar children book will take longer...
