Darcy by Any Other Name by Laura Hile

Discover the Pride and Prejudice body-swap romance that has readers laughing in surprise and delight. For most, this is a glorious evening of music and dancing. But out in the garden two men are arguing, while a ferocious rainstorm swirls round. And then the unthinkable happens: a lightning bolt from heaven strikes. In that instant everything changes. Jane Austen’s heartthrob hero becomes the bumbling Reverend Collins. Shorn of his fortune, his social standing, and his good looks, Mr. Darcy is trapped in Mr. Collins’ body. And Mr. Collins wakes up to discover that he is master of Pemberley. Could there be anything worse? But the inner man is still Darcy. He is in love with Elizabeth Bennet. And now he is living in her house.

My Review

In the tradition of Freaky Friday, it’s a story of two people -Darcy and Collins exchanging bodies and having to learn important truths. This was such a Different book then what I usually read that it took me a little while to decide what I thought of it. The entire story of Pride and Prejudice was switched up and completely changed. It was really creative story and by the end I decided that I liked it. I found myself wanting to know what happened. I enjoyed the characters. it was nice to get to see a bit more of the minor characters like Anne and colonel Fritzwilliam. The characters were true in the tradition of what Jane Austin had created in Pride and Prejudice. I liked most of the characters like Elizabeth. Some I didn’t like especially Collins. This was a unique twist to a well known classic and gives you a completely different perspective.

I recommend this to my family and friends.
I received this complementary copy from the publisher to read and give my honest review.

About the Author

My journey as a writer began with the Internet.  And with Jane Austen. How is that for an unlikely combination? I have always loved classic Regency romances. You know the kind – with a dashing, honorable hero and a lovely, intelligent heroine. Delicious banter, unexpected plot twists, humor, and a happy ending. If faith is woven into the story, so much the better. When I discovered an online forum for Jane Austen-related fiction, I was hooked. With Jane’s characters for inspiration, I began writing and posting serialized Regency stories. To keep readers coming back for more, I developed my signature style: intertwined plots, cliffhangers, and laugh-out-loud humor. The comedy I come by in my job as a middle school teacher—there’s never a dull moment with teens!
