PRIDE AND PUNISHMENT by Nia Farrell is an erotic retelling of a Jane Austen classic. Characters that you thought you knew…well, they’re ready to reveal their secret selves. Mr. Darcy is a Dominant. Miss Elizabeth Bennet is submissive. Jane Bennet might be the only “handsome” woman in Meryton, but puppy-like Charles Bingley needs a Mistress with a firm hand. Mr. Darcy believes that Jane lacks steel in her corset and separates the couple. His growing lust for Miss Elizabeth leads him to confess his desire to dominate her – a proposition that she mistakes for a proposal. Already accused of less-than-gentlemanlike behavior, Darcy must find a way to win the submissive heart of a woman who abhors him. Described as "Pride and Prejudice meets 50 Shades of Grey," Pride and Punishment is not your mother's Austen. This is a deliciously different BDSM erotic romance written for ages 18+. The original dialogue has been kept intact when possible. Passages modified to fit this retelling are rife with subtext and laden with innuendo. The basic timeline is essentially the same as Pride and Prejudice, but the characters populating the pages now include Darcy’s bisexual cousin Hugh, his dominant Aunt Catherine/Mistress Cat, his “little” cousin Anne, his submissive sister Georgiana, kinky defiler-of-virgins George Wickham, lesbian switch Caroline Bingley, and militiamen who see more action in their bunks than out.

4.0 out of 5 stars P&P BDSM, in a Good Way
Reviewed in the United States on August 2, 2018
There are hundreds of P&P variations out there, both sweet and sexy. This book definitely falls into the latter category. Told form Darcy's pov, we get the inner workings of his Dominant, sexual thoughts about Elizabeth. The plot basically follows the original beginning with the meeting in Hertfordshire. The characters are recognizable, though some have an interesting sexual side. Lady Catherine is a Domme, Caroline Bingley a switch, Charles a natural submissive, and the Colonel and Darcy both Doms. Elizabeth was the one character who I didn't completely believe, unfortunately. She seems to take to being a sub with little fuss, which is not what I'd expect from someone of her personality. Though I knew, based on this version of Darcy, she'd submit to him in the end, I will confess I expected/wanted a little more fight from her at first. I will say that on the plus side, the author does a pretty good job of remaining "in character" with the dialogue and historically accurate aspects of sex.

My other main criticism is that we get a lot of Darcy's thoughts but none of Elizabeth's until the stilted epilogue. And because of that, we see Darcy in sexy erotic scenes but not as many involving Elizabeth as I'd like until closer to the end. Most of his "encounters" with Elizabeth take the form of sexy daydreams. I wanted more of their married life, maybe some of the bondage that he kept dreaming about, and to see how Lizzy learned to submit and enjoy his kinks. Also, it would've been fun to see Bingley and Jane in their training, and to see her mastering him. Maybe the author could make that another book?

If you're a P&P purist, you won't like this book. But if that's the case, I don't know why you're reading P&P variations to being with. If you love P&P but also want to see Darcy acting as a man, with all the sexy urges men have, and are cool with BDSM, you'll probably love this book. I read it through KU, and found myself ready to read it again after only a few weeks.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pride and Prejudice Meet 50 Shades of Grey
Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2017
What happens when Pride and Prejudice meets 50 Shades of Grey? Find out in this well-written erotic romance. Anyone who loves the Austen classic (and salivated at the scene in the movie version that had Colin Firth walking out of the lake soaking wet in his ruffled-Darcy-shirt) must have wondered, "What kind of sex life will he and Elizabeth Bennet have?" Will they be equal players in the bedroom? Or will Darcy be dominant and Lizzie submissive? Will she kneel naked before him and call him "Master"? At first, I was skeptical, being an English major who loves Pride and Prejudice, but I let this novel take me along for a ride and was glad I did.

One of my favorite things about this book is that it is told from Darcy's point of view. He tells the reader that he had a problem stuttering when he was younger and was late in talking when he was a child. He admits that Lizzie is a more polished conversationalist than he is. It shows some vulnerability that I like to see. Another of my favorite parts of this book are when the two of them take walks in the woods. I won't spoil what happens,
so you'll have to find out for yourself; but they certainly weren't stopping and taking the time to smell the roses. Austen purists will find that the writing style shows great respect for Pride and Prejudice, and the author has a flair for writing Regency dialog.

Classics need to be taken down from the shelf and dusted off every so often. I highly recommend this sexy interpretation.

Pride and Punishment by Nia Farrell

Designation: Standalone

This is a great read for fans of historical. The dialogue was so crazy wordy and formal it made for a challenging read. Interesting dynamics between the characters and there was a lot going on in the plot.

I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Delightfully Twisted Twist on Pride and Prejudice!
Reviewed in the United States on August 5, 2016
As a fan of Jane Austen as well as erotic romance, I was intrigued by the concept of this book, but also a bit leery. My reservations only increased as I read the first few pages, but then, the story radically improved and kept my interest until the end. Ms. Farrell did an admirable job of presenting Mr. Darcy as a Dom with a serious hard-on (quite literally) for Miss Elizabeth Bennett. She had me less convinced by the swiftness with which Lizzy submitted. One minute she hates him, and the next she is allowing him to take her over his knee? I could not believe the plucky heroine would not be far more shocked and horrified than aroused by such outrageous and unexpected behavior. I half hoped the tables would turn and Miss Bennett would bring Mr. Darcy to heel in the end...or that Mr. Darcy would give up his whip to partner with a woman equal to him in mettle. But, alas, that was not the author's intent, so I must judge the book at it is, not by my wishes. Aside from the rushing of the relationship arc, I have only one other criticism. Despite the author's convincing use of formal language with a period feel, the original dialogue in Miss Austen's voice seemed stilted and old-fashioned alongside Ms. Farrell's. This, perhaps, could not be helped, as writing the whole of the book in the original language probably wouldn't fly with today's readers...and altering the original passages probably wouldn't fly with Austen fans. Ms. Farrell undertook quite a challenge when she wrote Pride and Punishment. For the most part, her efforts were impressive. I would definitely recommend this book to fans of Austen sequels who are open minded and enjoy a bit of kink in their historical romances.

I find it immensily boring and Darcy turns into quite an ass. Also everything else is too repetitive, from the writing to the sex scenes. Everything else is kind of just copied from the original.

I must confess that I've never read the original by Jane Austen and so my prior knowledge of the story was from the BBC adaptation with Colin Firth as Mr Darcy. But having said that, I think Nia Farrell has done an excellent job with all the characters being spot on. The story is from Fitzwilliam Darcy's POV with him as a dominant and it really works.
I thought it was brilliant, fabulously naughty and I loved it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating concept and take on this for open minded.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 10, 2016

I have read and loved Jane Austen's original Pride and Prejudice on a number of occasions, so it was with qualms that I read Nia Farrell's version, Pride and Punishment, and I have to say on the whole, with a few exceptions, it is very good.

Austen's version is story told through the eye's of Miss Eliazabeth Bennett. Nia's version I was pleased to see was from Mr. FItzwilliam Darcy's point of view. The language used on the whole flows as Austen's, of course set in Regency times; though a few errors will be spotted by Austen or Regency literacy officionados...worst faux pas for me had to be the ginger haired, plump lipped twink...erm, twink, not invented, term not used then, so for these errors, such as the prior to deflowering scene, although very erotic, was definitely not in keeping with how Regency Miss Elizabeth brought up and purported to be as a young lady of the highest morals, hence I give four as opposed to five stars.

I loved the idea of Lady Catherine de Bourgh being a Domme...just suits her overbearing character.
I would recommend it to those who love Regency era literature, but I think modern miss who has never dealt with the difference in language and nuances will find some difficulty.

I also think those who want chaste and pure may need to think twice or at least walk into this with eyes open as Nia's, Darcy and Hugh frequent a very different club to those mentioned in prior gentlemen's clubs ;) however, I did enjoy his sessions with towel and fantasies at night.
I guess I shall have to watch my DVD again and see Colin Firth from Nia's characters point of view.

Glad I read this. Close to a five star read.

4.0 out of 5 stars Bit of saucy fun with a well-known story
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 27, 2020

Nia obviously had a lot of fun retelling "Pride and Prejudice" from Mr Darcy's point of view and adding super-heated steam! Overall, it's entertaining stuff.
Nice idea to have Darcy and his cousin Colonel Fitzwilliam as Doms, and Lady Catherine as the Domme who trained them both, and making Bingley a sub and Jane his domme-to-be was rather fun, and might be worth a bit of "fan fiction" to tell as its own story.
There were a few "hmm" moments, such as anachronistic expressions and even the odd modern US English idiom. Lizzie's transitions from Georgian totally innocent virgin to compliant, and later willing, sub didn't really ring true, as they were abrupt in the extreme. It would be far more likely that she'd have resisted and been deeply offended.
But it's only a story.
