He calls her The Annoying One.
Liz overheard him say it to his friend, and that's just fine. She doesn't like him anyway. Vince Darcy is cold, arrogant, and detached from genuine feelings, and he's become her closest rival in the local antiques market. He might be her new neighbor, and Liz's sister might be falling for his best friend, but that doesn't mean Liz cares what Vince thinks of her.
Yes, he's hot. Very hot. Way too hot. It's another one of his infuriating characteristics. She's having trouble resisting his hotness, so she might consider a casual fling with him--as long as they keep it a secret and it doesn't become complicated.
But she isn't going to like him. He thinks she's The Annoying One. She can't fall for a man after that.
Pemberley House is a series of modern reimaginings of Jane Austen novels, and the books are set in a historic mansion in Virginia that has been converted into condos. In Want of a Wife is loosely inspired by Pride and Prejudice.
My Review 3 STARS
**My thanks to the author for providing me with a free copy for an honest review**
Although i liked this book and the fact that it was a very modern telling of Pride and Prejudice, it also fell a little flat for me. To be honest, i struggled to relate or connect to Vince Darcy.
I like Liz, her sister Jane and their friends and the supporting characters, it was just Vince i had a problem with and therefore the story was pulled down.
Liz is a lovely character. She loves her family and loves the family business of being antique hunters and the apartment that she lives in with her sister in Pemberly House.
Liz is very competitive and when Vince turns out to be a rival, then the gloves come off, but as she gets to know him she warms up to him.
I look forward very much to see what else will happen with this series and whoop of this group of friends will next have a story and which Jane Austen book will be inspired to be written for them.
