Do you have a special love for Pride & Prejudice? Well, I do! After hearing Definitely, Maybe in Love was a modern day re-telling of this beloved story I was completely excited. Re-tellings can be tricky and often disappointing, but no worries, this stayed true to the story with way more kissing! Yes!Spring Honeycutt is an environmentalist to the extreme, and a junior in college working on her thesis in Environmental Science. Her teacher tells her something is missing from her project: a clear understanding of the opposition. What better person to teach her the opposition than Henry Knightly III? He’s a rich, arrogant student whose way of life and belief system offends all she holds dear.Well, I don’t need to tell you that this is a hate to love relationship if you’ve seen or read Pride & Prejudice. Spring and Henry get off to a rough start just like Elizabeth Bennett and Mr. Darcy do. They both have preconceived ideas about each other that are not at all positive. With that being said, there is an immediate, undeniable physical attraction that makes it hard for Spring and Henry to ignore each other. Slowly, Spring and Henry get to know each other and find their snap judgments may not be entirely correct. More surprising is the fact that the more they get to know each other, the more their attraction and admiration grows.Definitely, Maybe in Love held pretty true to the original story, but set the romance in modern situations that are easily relatable. The addition of swoony, passionate kisses was lovely because I always want more kissing! Thank goodness Ophelia London granted my wishes!This sweet and swoony romance is a must for any Pride & Prejudice OR romance fan. Ophelia London provided a fresh take and an old, well-loved tale; one I thoroughly enjoyed!Favorite Quotes (spoilery):“I feel like tonight is Christmas and my birthday,” he whispered. “And I just got everything on my list.”“Henry Edward Knighly…the third,” I added in a whisper, giving him a knowing grin. I ran my hands up his arms. “You drive me absolutely crazy.” He chuckled softly and looked down. “You amaze me.” I lifted his chin. “And I love you.”
