In the weeks since its release, Reverie & Rancour has received dozens of five-star reviews on Amazon and Goodreads. I’m delighted and exceedingly grateful that others have enjoyed reading this story as much as I enjoyed writing it. Thank you, to everyone who has taken the time to read and review!
Here are a few things readers have said:
On Amazon:
“Excellent journey…. Interesting variation with a twist on the compromise trope”
“If you can tolerate the dark days of Darcy, it is worth it in the end. Oh, have a tissue for the end. Goodness.”
“One of the Best P&P Variations I’ve Read!… Definitely worth it for anyone who likes Pride and Prejudice variations!”
“Good depth to the story, sweet perspective.”
On Goodreads:
“I loved this book.”
“[T]he author gave our girl such courage and grace that all else didn’t matter. She was everything she should be…. I applaud the author for this story.”
From the original readers of the (now removed) AO3 version:
“I myself have bought… several ‘variations’ of P&P, along with other public domain works…. This is by far the best variation I’ve read.”
“It was a story where I could see a soul…”
“I LOVED how you played out the story between a bit of angst and drama with a happy romance at the end—literal PERFECTION!!”
“[W]ow that was spectacular! read the entire thing in one day and all I could think was what a triumph it is: in capturing Elizabeth’s character, in capturing Darcy’s, even in capturing Mr. Bennet’s!”
“THIS is THE book. The perfect book my heart searched for…. The tension, the grovelling, the feelings of guilt ready to burst…. The emotions, the subtlety of conveying messages yet the appeal of each word is absolutely delicious.”
Thank you, again, to everyone who has read Reverie & Rancour. If you haven’t yet, I hope these reviews might persuade you to give it a go.
