Hiring Mr. Darcy by Valerie Bowman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I've previously enjoyed a number of Valerie Bowman's historical
romances, so I've been looking forward to picking up her new
contemporary release, "Hiring Mr. Darcy." Happily, Ms. Bowman's take on
Jane Austen's classic "Pride and Prejudice" more than does justice to
the original. Ms. Bowman pays homage to P&P without trying to
duplicate it, and the result is a funny, sweet, relatable story that I
loved.
Main characters Meg and Jeremy had a ton of chemistry
right off the bat, and I loved their witty banter. Their romance is
definitely a slow burn, but I enjoyed the way it built until the very
end. The book's secondary characters were just as likeable as Meg and
Jeremy themselves, and I particularly enjoyed Mitchell the gossipy
tailor with his faux-Southern accent and little dog, Ms. Julia. Meg's
brother Luke was also intriguing, and I could see him being paired with
Meg's best friend Ellie in a future book.
Overall, I adored this
super cute, funny story and highly recommend it for all fans of
contemporary romance and romantic comedy. I look forward to seeing what
Ms. Bowman writes next.
