Speed dating and blind dates become a source of frustration when one man continually shows up, hell-bent on either annoying her or capturing her heart.

Reviews

• "Loved it 13X! Such a great story with wonderful funny pieces and heart-breaking angst. Add in the kooky best friend and the Jewish matchmaker and you have an amazing story. The calendar is wonderful. The music is great. The blogs added a ton. Such a special Christmas event! It just made my Christmas so much fun."  ~Barblibrarian

• Winner of 'Favorite Modern Adaptation for 2014' "What a phenomenal read!! The attention to detail and the clever way the author immersed her audience in the story was such a terrific experience!" ~Austenesque Reviews

• "For me modern JAFF's is about transporting Regency D&E into the 21st century without losing the essential ingredients which resonate with lovers of Jane's original couple and this book accomplished that. Darcy is of course shaped and moulded by modern proprieties, yet his gentlemanly behaviour spoke volumes, his compassionate heart and endless charity work was as endearing as his rescue of Lydia in cannon." ~My Kids Led Me Back to Pride & Prejudice Reviews
