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 honourable 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...

This book is lots of fun, witty, light and romantic. I loved the first 2/3 especially. After that I became slightly frustrated with Emily and her complete misunderstanding of Mr Darcy. For a character who worked in a bookshop and claimed to have been in love with Mr Darcy since she was 12 years old, she really didn't "get" him. Sigh... I could not see one redeeming feature in the slob, Spike Hargreaves.

Following the plot and themes of Pride and Prejudice, suspend disbelief and enjoy a fluffy feel good read!

BTW: My favourite Mr Darcy is the gorgeous Elliot Cowan (centre above, with Mr Wickham and Mr Bingley from the brilliantly cast Lost in Austen)

CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES:



Sending this book to grubsneerg as its on her wishlist. Thank you for all your help with a recent bookray grubsneerg. I hope you enjoy Me and Mr Darcy.

Thank you, shelj7k, for this book from my wishlist, and for the sweet pencil top! I have been looking forward to reading this one for a long time. Happy BookCrossing to you!

I have to agree with you, shelj7k: For a character who worked in a bookshop and claimed to have been in love with Mr Darcy since she was 12 years old, Emily really didn't "get" him. I also had trouble warming up to Spike; I just couldn't fix on who he really was or what Emily saw in him. I did like how the story paralleled the plot of Pride and Prejudice, and I enjoyed Alexandra Potter's writing style. This was an amusing, light read that gently reminds us not to let our pride or prejudice get in the way of our own happiness.

Thanks again, shelj7k!
