Review: Oh, Mr. Darcy...

Pride and Penetration manages to be both incredibly hot and delightfully, comically literary. I don't know how the author balanced the two, but she did so with mastery, and this is one of the best pieces of erotic fiction I have ever read. Even if you haven't seen any adaptations of Pride and Prejudice or read the book, you can appreciate the basic story structure and stylistic approaches that make fun of regency-era historical romances, but not in a biting way.Anyone expecting just an erotic retelling of Ms. Bennett and Mr. Darcy's story will be disappointed, for Pride and Penetration is set in modern-day times and puts its own unique twist on the classic. On the other hand, if you're looking for something fun, hot, and hilarious, then this is your story. I haven't flashed between arousal and laughter so many times in ages while reading a story. From a spanking episode to Darcy's refusal to see he's truly being used sexually to Ms. Bennett's parents as money-grubbers, Pride and Penetration takes readers through it all -- in style, and with a sexy wink that makes me want more. Beth wanted more, too, with a threesome scene with Darcy and Fitzwilliam that would have Jane Austen spinning in her grave...or, perhaps that's just a buzzing sound? Hmmm....
