Abigail Reynolds created an adventure full of twists and turns in Conceit and Concealment. It’s an intricately written alternate English history starring two most beloved characters meeting and falling in love in different circumstances.

In Conceit and Concealment, although we see a Meryton swarmed with men in uniform, the difference is they’re donning blue coats. They’re men of La Grande Armée, serving under Napoleon. Things are very different for ...more

Mon dieu! This story takes your breath away. Tears, sighs and some bit of laughter. For me this is the best of tales from a favorite author. Not only does she give us a romance which undergoes the harshest of trials but also gives us a creative history for England and the people living during that made up time of occupation by the French. Those who read the first chapters as a WIP will find that there is so much more depth and surprises in the rest of the story.

I absolutely adored how Darcy meet ...more

This review was first published on Babblings of a Bookworm: https://babblingsofabookworm.blogspot...

I am always excited to read an Abigail Reynolds novel. Often her variations have a small change in the events of ‘Pride & Prejudice’, which can cause the whole story to go down a new road, but with ‘Conceit & Concealment’ it’s a change which happens before the events of ‘P&P’ begin, and one which would be very far reaching.

At the time that ‘Pride & Prejudice’ was set, Britain had been at war with ...more

3 1/2 stars. I had such a hard time getting into this book, and then such a hard time relating to Darcy and Elizabeth. I generally love anything by Abigail Reynolds, but this required more effort on my part.

I had a much easier time listening to the book and enjoyed it more.

This one was something else! I have not read an Austen variation this unique since KaraLynne Mackrory's 'Haunting Mr. Darcy' (which I l-o-v-e-d).

Anyway-- it does really diverge from the original-- but if you are okay with that, then you will really enjoy reading this one.

I only gave it 4 stars because I really need some Wickham and Lady Catherine to make things 'perfect'. ...more
