Rendition As Books The Girl from Summer Hill (Summer Hill #1)
The first book of a new contemporary romance series set in the mountains of Virginia in a town with full of family legends, romance, and secrets from New York Times bestselling author of the Nantucket Brides trilogy.Sparks fly as fiery Casey Reddick and brooding Hollywood actor Tate Landers clash in the Virginia summer heat. A chef who puts her career first and her love life second, Casey doesn’t see what every girl in town is swooning over. She made up her mind the moment she met Tate—he’s gorgeous, but stuck-up, nothing like his ex-brother-in-law, Devlin who’s playing the Wickham to Tate’s Darcy in a local production of Pride & Prejudice. Casey makes the perfect Elizabeth Bennett—how could she be star-struck when she’s heard Devlin’s damning stories about Tate? As they rehearse together, however, Casey finds herself attracted to Tate—he’s much more down-to-earth than she expected and any physical contact between the two of them literally gives her a tingling, electric shock. As opening night draws near, Casey has some difficult decisions to make. Whom should she believe? The seemingly sincere, slighted Devlin or Tate, whose rough, arrogant exterior may only be skin deep. She’s come to love that jolt she gets when they touch—but will she get burned?

I enjoyed this overall. Casey and Tate were both fun, enjoyable characters who were fun to get to know. The Pride and Prejudice angle was also fun, the way the story not only played out on stage but in real life. I felt the connection between Casey and Tate from the beginning, and it was also easy to understand why she would be hesitant to pursue anything between them. Their initial meeting was hilarious, both of their reactions believable...and the peacock. I loved that guy.I also thought thereTo see review with Firth gifs click a href="https://howdyyal.wordpress.com/2016/0....The Girl From Summer Hill is a book that Im not sure wouldve been published if its author wouldnt had already been a very successful romance novelistthe books by Jude Devereaux. To be fair, the book isnt a bad book per say, but its yet another Pride and Prejudice retelling and not a very clever one.Full disclosure, Ive only read a few Devereaux books before, The Summer House and one of them that involved
ARC REVIEW I have a new favorite Jude Deveraux book!This is a retelling of Pride and Prejudice in the same manner that Kiss Me Kate is a retelling of Taming of the Shrew. If you haven't seen it or heard of it. It's a stage production of the original story but with a case of Life Imitating Art. A small town stage production of Pride and Prejudice, but the actors are put through situations and the events and their attitudes reflect that of the the original story. This is in Deveraux's
Another adaptation on the oh-so-popular "Pride and Prejudice" with a modern take. I do think that Ms. Deveraux did a good job on modernizing this, but at one point, there did seem to be a lot of pov's. I know this is #1 in the series, so maybe some of it could have been saved for the next one.I loved the opening scene and the "meet cute", but I also felt that Casey and Tate seemed a little forced. I would have liked more depth to these two characters, once again, letting the others develop more
It's LIVE!With this book Jude Deveraux gives us her own take on classic Pride & Prejudice. I thought that Jude Deveraux did an excellent job in modernizing this classic and figuring out how to make the things that occurred in that story relatable to our modern times. In her acknowledgement she even recognized that it was very difficult to attempt that feat and I think she succeeded. I also applaud her for not directly telling us who was who based on the Jane Austen book. Now, other people
This book was so hilarious and heartwarming which makes me wonder why anyone would rate it lower than 5 stars. There were even moments when I found myself laughing out loud. It's a lighthearted summer read with plenty of romance tossed in from different perspectives. I would most definitely recommend this book to a friend.
The Girl from Summer Hill by Jude Deveraux is a modern-day retelling of Jane Austens Pride and Prejudice set in Summer Hill, Virginia. Casey Reddick is a chef who left the hustle and bustle of D.C.s restaurant scene to live in the guest house on Tattwell Plantation. She has been hired by Kit Montgomery to cater meals for the cast and crew of the stage adaptation of Pride and Prejudice that he is directing for charity. She meets the sexy actor Tate Landers when he shows up naked on the porch of
