Review "Engagingly written & entertaining: Laugh-out-loud funny and filled with endearing characters, the novel's greatest strength is its masterful dialogue and the banter between the players. Skillfully rendered love scenes add heat to the romances, which the author keeps interesting through a roller coaster of plot twists." -Publishers Weekly"A thoroughly entertaining read - Peter and Alice have a fun and feisty relationship. Their confrontations are full of snappy dialogue and a tension that is more longing than overtly sexual. But when the sparks do fly, these two light up the room!" -InD'Tale Magazine

I love any adaption of a Jane Austen book, "Pride and Prejudice" being a favorite. This ebook version of Collette Saucier's book "All My Tomorrows," is an expanded edition of her original story. In any case, I actually enjoyed this book. Alice McGillicutty is the head writer for the daytime drama (aka soap opera) "All My Tomorrows," and the show is losing ratings fast. Enter Peter Walsingham, the "savior" who is going to turn the tide for the show. Right away the animosity is apparent between these two, and one cannot help but get swept into their world. The reader is able to pick up pretty quickly which characters are supposed to be their Austen counterparts. So while Alice is living her modern twist on "Pride and Prejudice," she is reading a "romance" entitled "The Edge of Darkness" purely for educational purposes, so that she can get inspiration for writing for the show. Alice and the reader are both reading this romance and Alice seems to be onto something using this book as fodder for her soap, because the novel itself reads like a soap opera! Spoiler Alert: When Alice gets to the end, and the main character in the novel, Alexandra, has reached her breaking point, and Alice turns the page expecting more, but there's nothing else, just a blank page, Alice is livid! She throws the book across the room and screams "Where's my happy ending?" If "The Edge of Darkness" were an actual book on my shelf, I would have done the exact same thing! As Alice states: "This book is definitely NOT a romance." OMG I laughed so hard! Long story short, after many setbacks and misunderstandings, Alice and Peter do get their happy ending, just like Elizabeth and Darcy, so no worries. As for poor Alexandra, if this were an actual soap, she would have woke up the next day and realized it was just a dream, ha ha!

Retelling Didn't Disappoint By Angel Hatfield **I received an ARC of this story in exchange for an honest reviewThis is another retelling of the classic Pride and Prejudice. Since I'm a huge fan of the original, I'm always up for reading authors' fresh retellings so I can compare them.In this version, Alice McGillicutty is the heroine. She's the head writer for a daytime soap opera. When their ratings take a nose dive and they are in fear of being cancelled, the show gets saved by a big-time actor Peter Walsingham, who is being forced to finish out his studio contract on the show. Right from the beginning, the two clash on every point, especially with the interference of others.I really liked this retelling. I thought the author did a great job of putting the main characters in this story. She did well with including the main secondary characters and not trying to overcrowd this new plot by sticking in every single person. I LOVED the names she used for some of the characters.The only thing I didn't care and am still not 100% was the secondary story that Alice was reading. It didn't seem to have much point and wasn't very good. If I were Alice, I never would've bothered past the second chapter, although I loved her reaction to the ending.I'm glad the author didn't disappoint.
3 of 4 people found the following review helpful. A Unique Twist By S. Judice Saucier creates a unique twist with her newest novel using a book-within-the-book to engage the reader. Very Shakespearean! It was interesting to see how the book Alice was reading influenced her actions in her own life. Speaking of Shakespearean, the book feels very much like a drama--witty dialogue and quick action.I loved this modern adaptation of Austen's PRIDE AND PREJUDICE. The way Saucier melded the Victorian story into the modern setting was genius. The characters paralleled Austen's originals so well, however, still maintained their own identity in today's world. Excellent job there. I also enjoyed a certain satire with the setting of the soap opera set, including the drama and melodrama that surrounds romantic relationships. Who hasn't felt like they were in a soap opera at one time or another when falling in love?I usually prefer a bit more imagery/description. On the other hand, there are no SLOW moments which tends to happen when authors delve into lengthy, flowery prose. None of that here. As a matter of fact, the flow of writing was very Austenesque in style. I read the book quickly and closed it with a smile on my face. If you're heading to the beach or to the pool, this is the perfect book to bring with you. Happy reading!
