First Impressions

If you're a Jane Austen fan, you'll love the engageing characters, contemporary situations, issues of faith, and the intricacies of love in Debra White Smith's updated retelling of Austen's endearing stories.

When Eddi Boswick is cast as Elizabeth, the female lead in a local production of Pride and Prejudice, she hesitates. Dave, the handsome young rancher cast as Darcy, seems arrogant and unpredictable. Accepting the challenge of playing opposite him, Eddi soon realizes that he is difficult to work with on and off the set.

But when a tornado springs our of nowhere, Dave protects Eddi...much to her chagrin. And he is shocked to discover an attraction for the feisty lawyer he can't deny. Sparks fly when Eddi misinterprets his interest and discovers the truth he's trying to hide.

Will Eddi's passionate faith, fierce independence, and quick wit keep Dave from discovering the secret to love...and the key to her heart?

I loved this series of books all based on Jane Austen's beloved stories.

This sounds so good. Is it just the one book or was there a series. Either way I'm with Staci- looks like more to add to the wish list.

So, Eddi is a lawyer. I just read another P&P retelling and the Elizabeth character was a lawyer. Wonder why that is?
