We are thrilled (and a little giddy) to have published Spank Me Mr. Darcy by Lissa Trevor, our Pride and Prejudice erotic mash up. We think it is quite delightfully naughty in a way that should make you blush, and keep turning the pages.

Ms. Trevor says, “I wanted to write a fun mash-up that was
hot and sexy, while remaining true to the passionate love Elizabeth Bennet and
Mr. Darcy had for each other. Pride
and Prejudice is over 200 years old and the fact that its characters
have endured this long and live in the hearts of readers is a tribute to Jane
Austen’s talent. I wanted to play in her world for a bit and expand on
Elizabeth Bennet’s sensuality and the dark wickedness I’ve always thought
lurked inside Mr. Darcy.”
Spank Me readers will
get to visit a Netherfield that has a new master and is infamous for its
debauched parties of excess and luxury.
Elizabeth and her sister Jane finagle an invitation to the ball, where
Elizabeth is introduced to Mr. Darcy and Jane is captivated by Netherfield’s
new owner, Mr. Bingley. When Jane
becomes ill the women remain at Netherfield, and a new world unfolds for
Elizabeth when she discovers the dungeons there and the man in the black mask
who becomes her Master.
Riverdale Avenue Books publisher Lori Perkins says, “As soon as Lissa came up with the idea for this
Pride and Prejudice/50 Shades of Grey
mash-up, we knew we had a winner. The
story of kinky goings-on at Netherfield really works. I loved it and couldn’t put it down. It was just too clever.”
As Jane Austen would say, “I declare after all there is no
enjoyment like reading! How much sooner
one tires of anything than of a book! – When I have a house of my own, I shall
be miserable if I have not an excellent library.” How about e-books Ms. Austin?
