Trouble With The Earl

I liked the story enough, but have to say that it felt like the author tried too much to sound like Jane Austin, though she didn't quite succeed. It was a fun concept that her characters had interaction with Lizzy Bennett and others from Pride and Prejudice, but it didn't actually work well in the story.

The plot was interesting enough to stand by itself and I wish the author had simply written the story as herself, not trying to emulate Ms. Austin or borrow her characters. I think it would have read more naturally and could have been a more enjoyable read.
