Críticas:

This was a fun, light read that is a fitting tribute to P&P while making for a fast, compelling read.

Jane Austen fan or not you can not help but love Abigail Reynolds' "Pemberley by the Sea". I devoured this four hundred plus page book within days, it was so good.

Overall, the book was fun. Smart characters, misunderstood male leads (one of my favourite sorts of fictional men), settings that I could vividly see in my head while reading, and talk of Jane Austen!

Reynolds has created a wonderfully fresh retelling of a perennial classic, starring two great characters who suffer through a series of misunderstandings, disappointments, secrets and interfering family members.

The writing was really the highlight of this novel, the words have a wonderful flow, and the mixture of narrative and dialogue work perfectly.

I highly recommend this book. You will be glad to have read it. I guarantee it.

In terms of Jane Austen spin offs and redos, this is one of the best... a clear testament to Reynolds' talent as a writer.

"Pemberley by the Sea" is the type of novel you will want to keep at the top of your 'to be re-read' book stack as there is just enough delicious romantic tension to keep you turning the pages.

Reseña del editor:

Also published as The Man Who Loved Pride & Prejudice

A modern love story with a Jane Austen twist...

Marine biologist Cassie Boulton likes her coffee with cream and her literature with happy endings. Her favorite book is Pride and 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. 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. It's up to Cassie to supply the ending...

Praise for Pemberley by the Sea:
"Romance fans will be carried along by the smoldering heat between Cassie and Calder." -Booklist
"As enjoyable and sensual as any of Reynolds's novels." -Library Journal
"In terms of Jane Austen spin offs and redos, this is one of the best... a clear testament to Reynolds' talent as a writer." -Savvy Verse & Wit
