About this ebook

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...

The book was good to the middle. The author left so much out there hanging out you know there will be a sequel to the book. I don,t know if a sequel would be worth the read if all of this author,s books end so poorly.

I Love this book so much, the story between these two is amazing and I wish they would make a movie about it, cause it shows people how a man thinks too. It truly is my favorite book. I wish I could own it.

I found myself waking up after a few minutes of sleep at night thinking about it and not wanting to put it down.
