Hiring Mr. Darcy

Hiring Mr. Darcy

Austen Hunks Book 1

by Valerie Bowman


⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5


There is nothing as cut throat as Bath’s Jane Austen Festival and Games!


Ok… I may be exaggerating! But when the games come between a couple, Megan Knightly will do anything to win, even hire a new partner/ Mr. Darcy with only two weeks to get him up to snuff.


But where does someone find a man willing to playact as Mr. Darcy and is ready to drop everything and head off to Bath in two weeks time? How about your brothers’ childhood friend who has had a crush on your oblivious self forever!!!!


This was such a fun read! I loved all the prep for the games, the perfection that was Jeremy Remington (Mr. Darcy stand in). Am I a fan of a love triangle and unrequited love??? Not too much, but I knew this was a proper romance and the good guy was going to end up with the girl in the end that made some of the more cringe worthy moments tolerable… Cringe worthy moments included Meg’s boyfriend dumping her as a partner for the games, said BF never actually calling or talking with her, giving her the cold shoulder, almost gaslighting her over her insecurities, and finally treating his new partner, the beautiful Hollywood starlet he was supposed to tutor to much better treatment than he ever did for his girlfriend…


That said… the reverse Pride & Prejudice roles worked for this story and made for a fun twist! I loved seeing our heroine Meg get over her intellectual prejudices and finally open her eyes and see the boyfriend potential in Jeremy.


I’m looking forward to continuing with this series!
