Me and Mr. Darcy
Alexandra Potter

A 29 year old woman has given up looking for the perfect man; Mr. Darcy of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. Her last few dates have failed to show any men with even one of the wonderful traits of the fictional character. When finding herself faced going to Mexico or being alone for New Years Eve; she is suddenly given a third option. She chooses to attend a week long tour of Jane Austen's England. When she arrives, she finds she is accompanied by all older women and a not-so-pleasant male reporter from The Daily Times. While on her tour she meets the real Mr. Darcy, though she herself understands the craziness of such an encounter. Leapfrogging between the present and the past, she finds herself falling for this Mr. Darcy. Through her encounters with Mr. Darcy, she finds that maybe the perfect man is more real than she thought. She also finds friendship in unexpected places. This is a sweet, romantic tale of finding 'Mr. Right.' Although a little like Kate and Leopold and slightly obvious in end, I would still recommend this story as a warm, lighthearted romance.
