Has anyone read ....First Impressions: An Amish Tale of Pride and Prejudice (The Amish Classics) by Sarah Price?

I am reading it now,and enjoying it very much.I am an avid fan of both Amish Fiction and Pride and Prejudice[both films and books] so I was delighted to find this book by a new-to-me-author Sarah Price that combines both and does it very well.I am having such fun reading it,that it is very hard to put down.I hope there will be several more. :]

British author Jayne Fresina has already delighted Regency fans with her Sydney Dovedale series of "beleaguered heroes and unstoppable heroines". She comes roaring back with a bold new series, the Book Club Belles Society, featuring her trademark humor and healtfelt storytelling that would impresss Jane Austen. In fact, the Book Club Belles Society - five refined ladies tucked away in the country - are reading Austen's PRIDE AND PREJUDICE. Four readers are swooning over Mr. Darcy while Justina Penny thinks Mr. Wickham is more exciting. Adding fuel to the club's fire is the arrival of Mr. Darius Wainwright, heir to a crumbling estate outside the village (and where Justina is hiding a pet pig). His appearance mirrors the plot of PRIDE AND PREJUDICE as the townfolk scramble to impress him ... except for Justina. She is simply a woman ahead of her time. Justina would rather keep her independence by becoming a writer. Fate has other plans for Justina, Darius, and the other villagers folded into drama.
Fresina delivers an ingenious way to pay tribute to the beloved Jane Austen while still crafting her own unique story, characters, and setting. Everyday is an adventure with Justina flaunting convention, to a point, while trying to keep her heart under control every time she encounters Darius. Fresina keeps readers' attention with Justina's over-the-top behavior and Darius' quick witted dialogue. ONCE UPON A KISS is a must read for Regency fans ... and an intoxicating start to a new series that is sure to please with future installments.

Update 8/23/14~ I gave up on this book last night.
Disappointing/disgusting,and nothing like Pride and Prejudice!
Reads like a heaving bosoms,bodice ripping,trashy novel! I stopped reading about 1/3 in.Also found the heroine totally unlikeable,and her behavior juvenile/ridiculous/preposterous!
Cannot recommend at all! :[
