Spotlight: The Wrong Mr. Darcy

We're bookend-ing the weekend with another modern Mr. Darcy story. This time, it's The Wrong Mr. Darcy by Evelyn Lozada and Holly Lörincz. And it's focused on sports. We're sure you'll be able to enjoy this, even if you don't read Jane Austen novels or follow basketball.

In Evelyn Lozada and Holly Lörincz's lightly inspired Pride and Prejudice romantic comedy, two unlikely people discover the error of judging by first impressions and the beauty of family, friendship and love. This book will entice you through the last page.

Hara Isari has big ambitions and they won’t be sidetracked by her mother’s insisting that she settle down soon. She dreams of leaving her small-town newspaper behind, as well as her felon father, and building a career as a sports writer, so when she is chosen to exclusively interview a basketball superstar, she jumps at the chance. It’s time to show the bigwigs what she’s truly made of.

At the same time, she meets a rookie on the rise, Derek Darcy. Darcy is incredibly handsome, obnoxiously proud, and has a major chip on his shoulder. Hara can’t think of a man more arrogant and infuriating. However, fate keeps bringing them together—from locker rooms to elegant parties, to the storm of the century—and what begins as a clash might just be more complicated than Hara anticipated. When she begins to see Darcy in a new light, Hara is not quite sure if she should drop the ball or play the love game. (Synopsis courtesy of Amazon.)
