Pemberley Beach by Elizabeth Famous Pdf

In Pemberley Beach, worlds collide at a high-society party where Will Darcy slights Elizabeth Bennet's looks, setting the stage for their tumultuous relationship, fueled by wit, pride and an undercurrent of desire. A contemporary twist on Jane Austen's beloved Pride and Prejudice, Pemberley Beach is set amongst the sun and sand of a modern seashore resort where Elizabeth's quest to escape the trailer park she grew up in leads her into the path of arrogant Darcy, owner of beachfront Pemberley estate. Elizabeth's playful, teasing remarks are hard to ignore, and Darcy battles his unwitting attraction to her as his best friend starts dating Elizabeth's older sister Jane. Suspicion about the Bennet girls' reputation as "gold diggers" triggers controversy and misunderstandings. After some verbal sparring at a private pool club, Darcy propositions Elizabeth - not with marriage as in the original Pride and Prejudice but with sex. She turns him down, giving him a tongue lashing he'll never forget. Contrite, Darcy apologizes and invites Elizabeth to a swanky jazz party at Pemberley. Sparks fly. What would their families and friends say if they started dating? Enter seductive Wickham, Darcy's nemesis, who poisons Elizabeth's mind with outrageous stories about Darcy's cruelty toward "his social inferiors." Wickham, who's as handsome as Darcy, does more than flirt with Elizabeth, and then uses his allure on her 18-year-old sister Lydia, weaving a web of deception and indiscretion that jeopardizes not only Elizabeth's reputation but her burgeoning career as a music teacher. Amid the escalating scandal, which has the whole town whispering, Darcy is confronted with a choice: give up on his undeniable feelings for Elizabeth or take a stand against the idea that Pemberley Beach would be polluted by someone like her.

Pemberley by the Sea by Abigail Reynolds Pdf

Also published as The Man Who Loved Pride & Prejudice 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... Praise for Pemberley by the Sea: "Romance fans will be carried along by the smoldering heat between Cassie and Calder." -Booklist "As enjoyable and sensual as any of Reynolds's novels." -Library Journal "In terms of Jane Austen spin offs and redos, this is one of the best... a clear testament to Reynolds' talent as a writer." -Savvy Verse & Wit

Love and Candy by Elizabeth Famous Pdf

Love and Candy is a poignant New Adult/Young Adult romance that doesn't shy away from the gritty details and overwrought emotion of a young woman's coming of age. Samantha Montclare is not who she thought she was. Straitlaced and academically minded, she's knocked to her knees by an unexpected infatuation with the star of her local soccer team just as she discovers that her biological father is not the loving dad who raised her but a forbidding Italian aristocrat. Within the social hierarchy of a wealthy suburban high school, Delaney Troy is so superior to naive Samantha that she can't speak to him without provoking obscene taunts from his friends. Delaney is gorgeous, but much of Samantha's fascination stems from his brazen honesty and bristling wit. His air of confidence inspires so powerful an interest he draws her in without even looking at her. But how could she possibly date a guy like Delaney who insists he only wants to hook up -- and doesn't believe in love? Will the scandalous truth about the circumstances of her conception threaten her happy home life? Must she find a place in her life for an alarming new "father" just as she's becoming an independent young woman? Reviews of LOVE and CANDY: "A sweet, humorous and endearing coming of age story. Really something special!" "Praise for Elizabeth Famous and this beautifully written and refreshingly unique coming of age story! It made me feel a plethora of emotions...borderline bipolar (and I loved every moment of it)." "Well, I truly enjoyed it but was also greatly surprised (in a good way)."

Jane and the Jackal by Jim Pinnells,Isabel Otto Pdf

1824. The Darcy family are aboard their yacht, The Pemberley, when Arab corsairs seize it and murder the crew. The Darcys and Jane, their daughter, find refuge first in an Ottoman fort and then at the British consulate in Athens. The Greeks are rebelling against their hated Turkish overlords. Buccaneers and fortune-hunters flock to Greece, eager for booty. War rages, and the all-appalling, pitiless Odysseus governs Athens. Anarchy, mayhem and Turkish armies threaten Athens. In the chaos, the eye of Odysseus lights on Jane Darcy, who is only twelve. Meanwhile, Edmund Bertram, the abusive chaplain at the consulate, shamefully mistreats his wife, Fanny. In despair, she begins a tentative romance with a frequent guest of the Consul, the piratical fortune hunter Edward Trelawny. Will the six women escape the desperate carnage around them? Will Fanny free herself from the duplicitous tyrant who rules her life? Will young Jane evade the clutches of the merciless impaler who pursues her? Jane and the Jackal is a fast-moving historical romance revealing the inner strengths and weaknesses of Jane Austen’s heroines in a lawless and brutal world far from the familiar peace of rural England.

P.D. James by Laurel A. Young Pdf

British National Health Service employee Phyllis Dorothy James White (1920-2014) reinvented herself at age 38 as P.D. James, crime novelist. She then became long known as England's "Queen of Crime." Sixteen of her 20 novels feature one or both of her series detectives, Adam Dalgliesh of Scotland Yard and private eye Cordelia Gray. Stand-alone works include the dystopian The Children of Men (1992) and Death Comes to Pemberley (2011), a sequel to Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. James's careful plotting has earned comparison with Golden Age British detective writers such as Agatha Christie and Dorothy L. Sayers. Yet James's work is thoroughly modern, with realistic descriptions of police procedures and the echoes and aftereffects of crime. This literary companion includes more than 700 encyclopedic entries covering the characters, settings and themes of her published writing, along with a career chronology, chronological and alphabetical listings of her works, and an exhaustive index.

Expanding Austenland by Áine Madden Pdf

Expanding Austenland: The Pride and Prejudice Fanfiction Archive explores Jane Austen’s reception in popular culture through an exploration of the ever-expanding terrain of online fanfiction, professionally published (profic) texts, and other intertextual reworkings inspired by the author’s most popular novel, Pride and Prejudice. The book argues that given its pervasiveness, Pride and Prejudice could be usefully considered not as a single novel, but as an entire ‘archive’ of interrelated texts, or as a portal that opens a ‘virtual world’ for readers to expand and explore. By examining the Pride and Prejudice archive of interrelated texts, this book analyses the process through which an individual novel can develop a virtual life, or afterlife. The evolving world that is opened by Pride and Prejudice, and extended and enriched through fanfiction, is conceptualised in the monograph as ‘Austenland’.
