Release Day Celebration for Character and Countenance

 

Good Morning Everyone!
In case you missed it, Character and Countenance released TWO DAYS EARLY on Sunday! Reviews are already pouring in. I just wanted to announce that in honor of the release, I am giving away TWO eBook copies of the book! You can enter the giveaway by commenting on this post or by entering the Rafflecopter GiveawayI hope if you read the book that you will leave a review or rating! I learned recently that ratings with reviews hold more weight with Amazon than just a rating, but I am 100% happy with either!

What you will find in this book:

-Elizabeth and Mary are daughters from Mr. Bennet’s first marriage

-They are better connected

-Jane is from Mrs. Bennet’s first marriage, which means she is not a Bennet

-Hot Mr. Collins

-Kind and attentive Lady Catherine

-Evil Step-mother Mrs. Bennet

This multi-trope book has a little bit of everything! I hope you enjoy it! Thank you all for your support!

    Thank you for not limiting the drawing to Rafflecopter. I find it irritating and would rather ignore in and read than bothering to inter a drawing by that means.

    This sounds like such a great story! I love so many of the tropes used, especially the ones where Elizabeth and Mary are from different marriages than the others. Congratulations on your release!

    Oh I hope Mrs. Bennett is dealt with appropriately and not just allowed to continue without any repercussions! Sounds like another great story! Congratulations!

    I have already downloaded the book from KU, and am loving it. The characters (both new and old) are so well written it is a wonderful read. Mind you irrespective of whoever’s P&P version I read, in my minds eye, Mr Collins always starts out looking like the version portrayed in the 1995 BBC adaptation, so a hot Mr Collins takes some getting used to.

    1. Right? 1995 was the first adaptation I saw and he will forever be the Mr. Collins I picture.

        Unfortunately, the actor who played Mr. Collins was middle aged, Mr. Collins was actually a few year younger than Charlotte Lucas. I’ve kept that in mind thinking over the years he might outgrow some of his personality issues.

    Looks like you’ve mixed everything up! I’m eager to see how it all works out with everyone being so different from canon.

    1. It’s a pretty topsy turvy story 🙂

    I’m with Jenny; I like the stories when Elizabeth is close with a different sister than Jane. Best wishes with the new release.

    1. Thanks!

    I’m a newer reader of the variations and I love the way you have flipped the characters and relationships around from the excerpt you posted. It sounds like a great book but it might take me awhile to get used to a hot Mr Collins LOL

    1. His character is much the same as it ever was. I hope you enjoy the book!

    Can’t wait to read this story. I am going over all Ms Stratton’s books and I really like them. Her twist and turns always keep me reading late at night!

    1. You are so sweet! Thank you!!
