The Trials of the Honorable F. Darcy: A Modern Pride & Prejudice

by Sara Angelini

A sexy, bold adaptation of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice that re-paints favorite characters in twenty-first century colors
Judge Fitzwilliam Darcy, a legal expert on both sides of the Atlantic, is ready to hang up his black robe and return to the life of a country gentleman—until he meets Elizabeth Bennet, a fresh-faced attorney with a hectic schedule and no time for the sexy but haughty judge.
Tempers and sparks fly in Judge Darcy's courtroom— and outside, in a series of chance encounters that give each of them pause—as the two match wits and try to fight their overwhelming attraction. When they meet up in England at an international law conference, they embark on a hot, heavy affair. Back in the States, though, ethical considerations intrude, and each is subjected to a torturous period of soul-searching before they can find their way back to each other...

Reviews

[Nicole Lynn]

This was a fun modernization of Austen’s Pride & Prejudice! I enjoyed the characters, the setting and the twists in the story. The characters, their actions (for the most part) and the storyline seems believable and relatable. While at times I found the breaks / shifts in time to be jarring and some passages to be a bit unnecessary long, I still really enjoyed this story. It’s been a while since I’ve read a modernization/an adaptation and thoroughly enjoyed this one. Will probably reread this one! The only thing that really held it back for me was some of the unnecessary length of passages (or even some of those ending chapters). Otherwise this is a sold read for any romance/Jane Austin fan!
