The Man Who Loved Pride & Prejudice, Abigail Reynolds – Review

Marine biologist Cassie Boulton likes her coffee with cream and her literature with happy endings. Her favorite book is Pride & Prejudice, but Cassie has no patience when a modern-day Mr. Darcy appears in her lab.

Silent and aloof, Calder Westing III doesn’t seem to offer anything but a famous family name. But there is more to Calder than meets the eye, and he can’t get enough of Cassie Boulton. Especially after one passionate night by the sea. But Cassie keeps her distance. Behind the veneer of scientific accomplishment, wit, and warmth, she is determined to hide secrets from her past. That means avoiding men who want to get too close, especially tempting and dangerous ones like Calder.

Frustrated by Cassie’s evasions, Calder tells her about his feelings the only way she’ll let him: by rewriting her favorite book, with the two of them in the roles of Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet. But only Cassie can decide whether to risk her future by telling him the dangerous truth.

The Man Who Loved Pride & Prejudice is the first book of The Woods Hole Quartet, a series of interlocking novels set in the seaside village of Woods Hole. (Previously titled as Pemberly by the Sea) – AUTHOR SITE

FROM THE BOOK FAERY REVIEWS…LOVED this one! I’m not that big into contemporary romance but this was a great read! Calder and Cassie were great characters that kept to the Elizabeth & Mr.Darcy characters in the original Jane Austen Pride & Prejudice. True love does indeed conquer social status issues and Reynolds does a great job portraying it here in another Pemberly variation.

Sourcebooks provided me a copy for review. Receiving this did not alter my opinion of the book.
