Fiction. Literature. Romance. Thriller. HTML:The first novel of New York Times bestselling author Jude Deveraux’s breathtaking new series set in Summer Hill, a small town where love takes center stage against the backdrop of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice
Enter Elizabeth Bennet. Chef Casey Reddick has had it up to here with men. When she arrives in the charming town of Summer Hill, Virginia, she leaves behind a demanding boss at a famous D.C. restaurant and a breakup with a boyfriend jealous of her success. Some peace and quiet on the picturesque Tattwell plantation is just what she needs to start fresh. But the tranquility is broken one misty morning when she sees a gorgeous naked man on the porch of her cottage.
Enter Mr. Darcy. What Tate Landers, Hollywood heartthrob and owner of Tattwell, doesn’t need on a bittersweet trip to his ancestral home is a woman spying on him from his guest cottage. Mistaking Casey for a reporter, Tate tries to run her out of her own house. His anger, which looks so good on the screen, makes a very bad first impression on Casey. Hollywood he may be, but he’s no sweetheart to Casey—and she lets him know it!
The plot thickens. Sparks fly—literally—when Casey is recruited to play Elizabeth Bennet opposite Tate’s Mr. Darcy in a stage adaptation of Pride and Prejudice. Just brushing past Tate makes Casey’s whole body hum. As they spar on and off stage, Casey begins to think she’s been too quick to judge. Tate is more down-to-earth than Casey expected, and she finds herself melting under his smoldering gaze. But then Tate’s handsome ex-brother-in-law, Devlin Haines, who is playing Wickham, tells Casey some horrifying stories about Tate. She is upset and confused as she tries to figure out who and what to believe. As she finds herself falling for Tate, Casey needs to know: Is the intense, undeniable chemistry between them real, or is this just a performance that ends when the curtain falls?

A fun retelling of Pride and Prejudice. The characters are quirky and perfect but I still found it to be a charming, fun, predictable romance. ( )

Jane Austen is a classic author. Pride and Prejudice was a classic book much appreciated in its time. Even now readers really enjoy it.
I hate remakes of classics.
This is the author's reinvention of the classic.
She tries to have multiple versions of Pride and Prejudice running simultaneously.
One the town is throwing a production of the same and that is one thread.
Each character who plays the part in the theatre production has their lives very unrealistically mimicking Pride and Prejudice.
I really wish she hadn't done that. She is a good author and was with great difficulty able to make it work. However, it was so bad in places.
Not one for the keeps. ( )

I received this book from NetGalley and Random House in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own.

Jude Deveraux's writing can always pull me in and captivate me. The Girl from Summer Hill is no exception. In this story, Deveraux does her version of Pride and Prejudice only she places the story in today's time. I love how she is able to change things so they reflect the way we would see the actions from this Austen book.

The story's main character is Casey. This is a girl who stopped working at a four star restaurant to decide where she wanted her life to go next. Tate, a movie star, is the modern day Darcy. I absolutely loved this story. It left me smiling as much as Jane Austen did in the original.

If you enjoy twists on Jane Austen books then this is the book for you. I highly recommend it. ( )

I enjoyed this love story and the twist with the Pride and Prejudice play. Some great character development that made you feel like you really new them. Some twists and turns that were not expected, but some you could see coming. Overall a charming novel that I would recommend to others. ( )

The Girl from Summer Hill by Jude Deveraux

A contemporary romance with lots of family, friends and town characters. It’s cute. It’s engaging. It’s wonderful.
It follows the Pride and Prejudice cast in a town play. For the most part, you don’t need to know Jane Austin’s story. The last fifty pages, as the played is performed, was a bit confusing for me. Character names are thrown around quickly as they enter and exit the stage either playing their parts or ad-libbing lines to contemporary times. It did add to the story but a few less people would have been ok with me.

Overall I love this author. Always fantastic stories and epic romances. This had the main couple and included several other matches that made the story hopeful and satisfying.
Happily ever after for the town of Summer Hill. ( )
