In this modern loose twist on Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, it's almost Christmas, and wealthy hedge fund partner Darcy Fitzwilliam has rushed home to the family estate in Pemberley, OH, from New York City for the first time in years to visit her ailing mom. Now forced to attend her family's annual holiday party, Darcy has to face her former classmates and manages to make out with Luke Bennet after a few too many eggnogs while also playing matchmaker to Jim Bennet and Bingley Charles. But will laidback carpenter Luke ever be good enough for smart and sophisticated Darcy, or should she marry Carl, the obvious choice for her?
VERDICT Read this for the fun holiday romance, not for the barely there Pride and Prejudice references.
