Book Description:

It starts as a lark for Jasmin Field, the charming, acerbically witty columnist for a national women's magazine.  She joins a host of celebraties gathering in London to audition for the season's most dazzling charity event:  a one-night only stage production of Jane Austen's immortal Pride and Prejudice, directed by and starring the Academy Award -- winning Hollywood heartthrob Harry Noble.  And nobody is more surprised than Jasmin herself when she lands the lead of handsome Harry's love interest, Elizabeth Bennet.  But things start to go very wrong very quickly.  Ms. Field's delicious contempt for the arrogant, overbearing Harry Noble goes from being wicked fun to infuriating.  Her brief moment of theatrical glory looks as if it's going to be overshadowed by the betrayal of her best friend, the disintegration of her family and the implosion of her career. And suddenly she can't remember a single one of her lines.  But, worst of all, Harry Noble -- who, incidentally, looks amazing in tight breeches -- has started to stare hard at Jazz with that sort of a glimmer in his eyes...

Fresh, wild, wonderfully romantic and absolutely hilarious, Pride, Prejudice and Jasmin Field is Jane Austen as the great lady herself never imagined it.

Modern retelling of the Pride and Prejudice story with Jasmin Field as Elizabeth Bennett and her overbearing director as Mr. Darcy. I really enjoyed this book because I am a huge P & P fan.

This was a quick, fun read... Pride and Prejudice set in the modern age.

I enjoyed this book, but did find it a little weird that the characters were doing a play of Pride and Prejudice, but that the actually story also mirrored Pride and Prejudice. Don't get me wrong, P&P is one of my very favorite books, but it was a bit much.

More chick-lit snacking, based on Pride and Prejudice. Go for it, you know you want to.

Fun and funny. A modern day tale within a tale after Pride and Prejudice.
