Seeking Mr. Debonair is the first book in The Jane Austen Pact series by Cami Checketts. At the age of twelve, Harley Redland vowed to marry a man as debonair as Mr Darcy, even though she is secretly in love with her older brother’s best friend. After graduating from Yale, Harley learns she has been accepted into Cambridge for her master’s program. However, she is called home to the family ranch in Wyoming as her father is very, very sick. Crew Harrison has known Harley all of her life and has harbored love for her for as long as he can remember. He wants to find a way to show her that he is as charming, educated and romantic as her precious Mr Darcy. A wrench in his plan is her dream Englishman who comes to town on business. Can Harley see what she is looking for is right at home?
Everyone who knows me knows I am not the biggest Jane Austen fan. Especially since everyone seems to fixate on Pride and Prejudice and love for Mr Darcy. That being said, I do not turn away books because the characters love Pride and Prejudice. When I read the blurb of Seeking Mr Debonair, I was intrigued and it sounded like a fun romance. However, right from the beginning, I did not care for Harley. I understand a dream which started as a young girl; however, as one grows and matures, the dream usually grows and matures with them. Not Harley, she would not budge. Her Mr Darcy can only be an Englishman otherwise he is not Mr Darcy. So narrow minded. I didn’t like the never travel, never leave home/your roots mentality from her brother. Really? Overall, I did not enjoy Seeking Mr Debonair and I will not be continuing the series.
Seeking Mr. Debonair is available in paperback and eBook
