More from Robin

Have you ever been judged on the basis of your appearance – what you weigh, how you dress, how you wear your hair or do your makeup? I am a professional dieter, and I have been on all of them. I lose, and I gain it back. I know the lengths a woman will go to after she overhears remarks about how she looks, so I relate to Elizabeth in More to Love in a way that’s a bit beyond my comfort zone.

Another aspect of this book which is personal is that I chose to base a supporting character on a wonderful, Christian lady at my church (with her permission). Mrs. Donna Bailey has been a constant encouragement to me in regards to my writing. She often gives me beautiful sugar cookies she painstakingly decorates with holiday themes. Mrs. Bailey is the housekeeper and dessert cook at Longbourn, and she helps Elizabeth through thick and thin, so to speak.

My Thoughts:

A very enjoyable variation of Pride & Prejudice. In general I am not a fan of sequels, prequels, variations, and reimaginings of Jane Austen's books, but the description of this one intrigued me so much that I decided to give it a try! And I am SO glad I did!

While it did take me a bit to fully get into this story, I ultimately wound up really enjoying it. One thing I wasn't expecting but absolutely loved was the suspense in the last few chapters! 

I highly recommend this delightful book, and look forward to reading more by this author in the future!
