Pride and Prejudice and Mistletoe

This story follows Darcy Fritzwilliam and Luke Bennet as they become reacquainted, and subsequently fall in love, after years of being absent from each other’s lives. This story has the classic cases of misunderstandings and making wrong decisions of convenience based on lack of communication.

I was not a fan of this book. The two leads never dated in high school (or at any other point). Yet, they discover love after one or two drunken kisses. For me, it was poorly executed. A poor substitute for source material far too perfect to replicate. It can be done decently, but I feel this is not a good example!

I was provided an advance copy of this novel by the publisher.

Here's my advice: If you're a hard-core P&P fan, maybe skip this one, but if you like an entertaining read--and enjoy the P&P format--then pick this one up to read by the Christmas tree. I read this one in one sitting, so it's quick and easy. There were some definite laugh-out-loud moments, but also some strange inconsistencies that I'm assuming were only because I was reading an early edition. Fun and charming, it's a light read for the holidays!
