Book Thoughts by Rachelle

Oh my goodness, Engaging Mr. Darcy was so much fun! I love a good, clean romantic comedy and this one surprised me with the basis of Pride and Prejudice. Rachel John took the classic characters and storyline and set it in contemporary California. She captured some of my favorite elements and nuances from the classic and created a romance that I couldn’t put down. I can’t wait to read more from this author!

Here’s more about the book:

After a standoff in the pizza parlor, Elsie Bennet has decided Fitzwilliam “I-Throw-Fitz” Darcy is the worst customer she’s ever encountered. Also the best looking, but that’s beside the point. She’s horrified to discover Will is not just passing through her small town, he’s her new neighbor.

Will Darcy has all the money and time he could ask for, and yet life never seems to meet his expectations. When his best friend, Charlie, starts dating Jane Bennet, Will becomes their unhappy third-wheel. The solution? Bring along Jane’s sister, Elsie, a girl who challenges him, makes him laugh, plagues his thoughts, and unfortunately, hates his guts.

Will might control a lot of things, but he won’t control her. Elsie’s already been warned away by her new friend, Jeff Wickham, who found out the hard way that Will is not someone to be crossed. Things would be so much simpler if she was attracted to Jeff. But she’s not. She’s attracted to Will, and the tug-o-war between her mind and her heart is going to drive her mad.

A modern day take on Pride and Prejudice with all the characters you know and love.

Book Thoughts by Rachelle

Falling for Your Best Friend’s Twin was so much fun and good medicine for me right now because I really needed a laugh! I love the setup of this story and can’t wait to read all of the books in the series.

Abby and her roommates are too much fun and I enjoyed reading the scenes and thinking about what else the author is going to come up with as the series goes along.

Abby and Zane’s love story was clean, fun, exciting, and everything you want in a book with nothing you don’t. I really enjoyed the twin angle and the friendship between Abby and Zoe. I’m excited to recommend this book to my teenage daughters and put Emma St. Clair’s books on our reading list!!

Here’s more about the book:

There are a million and one reasons not to fall for her best friend’s twin. Too bad love isn’t reasonable…

He may make her geeky heart beat faster, but Abby’s crush on Zane needs to die. Not only is he her best friend’s twin—an epic violation of friend code—but he’s her total opposite. Oh, and right now? He’s also her client.

Zane’s startup has enough headaches. He doesn’t need the added stress of having his sister’s irritatingly adorable friend taking over his office and getting under his skin–in more ways than one. His company’s launch may rest on Abby’s shoulders, but the cost to Zane’s sanity and his heart might be too high.

When Abby and Zane are forced together on an investor’s weekend, the lines blur between business and personal, between friendship and something much more.

Can this buttoned-up businessman and quirky coder take a risk on love despite the odds?

This is the first in a series of closed-door, laugh-out-loud romcoms following a group of friends as they find love, one dating disaster at a time! Each can be read as a standalone, but they are best read together in order.
