“When I first started reading this, I thought, "Oh dread. Jane Austen fanfic." But then I tried a story or two (and then three or four) and found that this was rather well-done Austen fanfiction. My biggest criticism is that there weren't enough stories related to Sense and Sensibility. That said, I enjoyed Jane Austen and the Mistletoe Kiss, When Only a Darcy Will Do, and What Would Austen Do? the most. The latter would be great for introducing high school kids to an Austen unit. This book would make a good Christmas present for an acknowledged Austen lover, and some of the stories could be enjoyed even by the uninitiated. ”
