Pemberley by the Sea: A modern love story, Pride and Prejudice style
lucky7 avatar reviewed on


A modern day Pride & Prejudice that definitely delivers through the first 3/4s. Cassie, Elizabeth Bennett's contemporary counterpart) has some great one-liners in her early interactions with Calder/"Darcy". The story moves fast and was a real page turner...until .... I don't want be a "spoiler" so let's just say I could have totally omitted the last 100 pages without missing any enjoyment of this creative retelling of the original. Actually, I probably would have given it 4 stars had the author not continued past the ending that worked for Austen.
