CLOSED Giveaway: First Impressions by Alexa Adams

Earlier in Jane in June, we had a lovely little guest post from author Alexa Adams, along with an excerpt of Second Glances, the sequel to her Pride and Prejudice retelling, First Impressions.  Second Glances isn't due out for awhile, but until then, we can keep ourselves occupied with First Impressions, which is certainly on my wishlist of books to buybegborrowsteal.  ;p


First Impressions
Alexa Adams

In Pride and Prejudice Fitzwilliam Darcy begins his relationship with Elizabeth Bennet with the words: "She is tolerable, but not handsome enough to tempt me; I am in no humour at present togive consequence to young ladies who are slighted by other men." What would have happened if Mr. Darcy had never spoken so disdainfully? First Impressions explores how the events of Jane Austen's beloved novel would have transpired if Darcy and Elizabeth had danced together at the Meryton Assembly. Jane and Bingley's relationship blossoms unimpeded, Mary makes a most fortunate match, and Lydia never sets a foot in Brighton. Austen's witty style is authentically invoked in this playful romp from Longbourn to Pemberley.


Want to find out what would have happened if Darcy and Lizzie had not got off to such a rocky start?
Enter to win a copy of First Impressions, and find out!

Ends June 30th

    Thank you Alexa and congrats on being a mommy! I'm curious to see how Lydia holds up without her trip to Brighton. Somehow I expect she'll find trouble elsewhere.
