Contrived and irritating, like Berdoll was writing this with a thesaurus close at hand in an attempt to make the writing sound intelligent; she failed. Hijacked great, classic romantic characters in order to obsess about their genitalia. Reads like fanfiction (I have nothing against fanfiction, just don't ask me to pay for it). If you love the style of Jane Austen, stick to Pride and Prejudice...
more Contrived and irritating, like Berdoll was writing this with a thesaurus close at hand in an attempt to make the writing sound intelligent; she failed. Hijacked great, classic romantic characters in order to obsess about their genitalia. Reads like fanfiction (I have nothing against fanfiction, just don't ask me to pay for it). If you love the style of Jane Austen, stick to Pride and Prejudice and leave this alone; it isn't worth the pain.
