Against Every Objection: A Modern Pride and Prejudice Variation Kindle Edition

by Cat Andrews (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.6 out of 5 stars 164 ratings
She was unlike anyone he'd ever met—equal parts intelligence, beauty, wit, and compassion—and he was drawn to her. It was as simple—and as complicated—as that.

Attorney Will Darcy is a rising star in his family's legal empire. He's set his sights on a partnership at The Darcy Group, earning him a place at his father's side, and no distractions—not even love—will alter his course.

Elizabeth Bennet is a successful artist living in a dune shack at the tip of Cape Cod, the place she's called home for most of her life. She values her independence, and has no desire to change her ways—not for anyone.

But the best-laid plans are thrown into turmoil when Elizabeth stands to lose the only home she's ever loved. When she reaches out for legal assistance, Will is dismayed to learn he'll be the one to handle her case—one that seems impossible to win.

Despite early misunderstandings, Will realizes his first impressions of Elizabeth are unjustified—indeed, she's captivating. And once she gets beyond Will's arrogance and verbal missteps, Elizabeth discovers a man of character and compassion—who also happens to be quite charming.

Elizabeth and Will are drawn to one another and find themselves in an ethical and emotional dilemma, caught between duty and desire. But what will happen if their hearts refuse to follow the rules?

***

This novel is a contemporary reimagining of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. It contains adult content and is meant for mature readers who do not mind scenes of an intimate nature.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Cat Andrews has always been an avid reader, but didn’t discover Jane Austen until her love of a certain British actor led her to the BBC’s 1995 production of Pride and Prejudice, because she just had to know—why all the fuss over this Darcy guy? What followed her viewing of that glorious miniseries was an inhalation of and immediate fixation on all of Austen’s novels, though Pride and Prejudice remains her favorite (and that certain British actor will always be, to her, the quintessential Darcy).

Her discovery of Jane Austen Fan Fiction opened up a whole new world, and thus began her addiction, and months and months of sleep deprivation, as she immersed herself in JAFF. After reading a modern Pride and Prejudice variation that she fell in love with, she was inspired to begin a cautious but earnest foray into the world of writing.

In real life, Cat has spent thirty-plus years working in healthcare. She is a confirmed thalassophile and enjoys life on the shores of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, where she grew up, fell in love with her own Mr. Darcy, and raised a family. More often than not, you can find her at the beach with a book in her hand and her toes in the sand.

Excellent as always
Cat Andrews delivers again in this delightful new story. She is always a must read for me. Modern Austen adaptations are my favorite to read and Cat is the best of the best in this area. In every book she makes her settings such an integral part of the story and this one was fascinating. I invariably end up with a location to add to my list of places to visit when I finish one of her books. Now, I need to go see the artists shacks on the dunes at the Cape. Her characters are without exception accurate translations of Austen’s original intent into the modern day, but her plots are unique. This one about an artist (Lizzy) and a lawyer (Darcy) kept me on my toes until the end. I know from her past work, that she consistently has a happy ending, but I just couldn’t see how she was going to bring it about. But she did it, and it was lovely. All the side characters fit with their regency counterparts in tone, but they nestle into the modern day setting seamlessly. Wickham especially was fun to read and I loved this Lydia, she was smart and sassy! I liked the back story of Elizabeth’s parents and she captured exactly what I think Mr. Bennet would be like in modern times. This is another book to add to my favorites list. It’s is a little steamy, but not overly, so.

    Reviewed in the United States on October 29, 2024

    I was SO excited to get my hands on this latest modern P&P retelling from Cat Andrews, and it did not disappoint! This Elizabeth and Darcy felt fresh and new to me after many years of reading these adaptations, while at the same time hitting all the right notes when it comes to taking inspiration from cannon. Provincetown and Boston come alive on these pages, and even though I know Cat wouldn’t torture us with less than a beautiful HEA for our favorite couple, I was still wondering how she could possibly make this storyline work out in the end! This latest work is a real testament to her growth as an author.

    If you have never read a Cat Andrews story before, you should know that her stories depict modern adult couples in adult relationships, so if you prefer only closed-door stories this may not be the story for you. I will say, however, that those scenes are very tastefully done—and could easily be skipped over—if you are excited by the premise of a modern Darcy finding his love in a free-spirited artist and surfer girl Elizabeth! Her characters experience real life struggles, and overcome true obstacles to be together. Well structured, with good pacing and excellent editing, Against Every Objection is a truly unique tale, and one I will revisit often. I loved it so much I’ve now ordered copies as gifts for my JAFF loving friends!

    Against Every Objection is another great spin on P&P by Cat Andrews. True to form, Elizabeth and Will start off as adversaries, even though they’re on the same side, and you can feel the sparks flying right from the get go! I love how Cat is always able to bring them together even after she keeps us on the edge of our seats with all the conflict between them… she’s able to draw you into their story so much that you just wanna yell at them to see the sparks you see. I really enjoy how every book gives us all the characters we want to read more about, but in each variation, they’re so different. Against Every objection gave you all the feels you wanted and even more! Can’t wait for the next one!

    Although I wasn't blown away, it was still a good read. I enjoyed most of the book but began to lose interest after the tenant's case was settled.

    There were a couple of moments when I felt Elizabeth was a jerk. I wasn't feeling her struggle or her self-inflicted heartbreak during those moments.

    Darcy and Elizabeth are loveably imperfect from the start. They both carry the scars from events during their childhood. There is lots of great interaction between them as they work to let go of the baggage they are carrying and embrace the physical and emotional connection they feel. Love the descriptions of Boston and the Cape. I loved the little twist at the end.

    I don’t leave many reviews but I do when I really like what I have read. I only read P&P variations. Cat Andrews is one of my favorites. I won a copy of this book, but I also bought one. This story gets you like a good wave does. But, what I enjoy most about her writing is the visual aspect, I could see and hear the waves and see the characters faces in the story, including the dunes and shacks. This will be a book I will re-read. Thank you Cat for another great book.🫶🏻

    Really enjoyed this modern variation. Darcy and Bingley are attorneys. Elizabeth is an artist. A historic art colony is threatened by "progress" and it's up to D and B to save the tenant artists homes. Some great history facts add a nice touch, I'm A sucker for that in a story. Oh and the love story is passionate. Tastefully done. This is a tale I'll come back to again and again.

    Reviewed in Germany on November 9, 2024

    Elizabeth Bennet is an artist and lives in a dune shack at Cape Cod. For many decades she and her relatives were the only inhabitants, due to a special agreement the town has with her and other artists. Now she and the other artists are about to lose their homes because the town plans to rent them to tourists to create a greater income. Therefore Elizabeth, as the spokesman of the artists, seeks legal advice.
    Will Darcy is a lawyer in his father's legal empire. His goal is to get a partnership and therefore he works hard without distraction. He is greatly annoyed when his father sends him and his friend and colleague Charles Bingley to Cape Cod to represent the artists in their fight against the town - in his eyes a hopeless case and a waste of his precious time. When he finally comes to know the dune shack and the artists, especially Elizabeth, better he discovers that there may indeed be something worth fighting for.
    Will their fight for the dune shacks be successful? Or will this all become uninteresting in the greater battle of love and attraction between him and Elizabeth? And how will they even be able to live their love when Will is Elizabeth's lawyer?

    This contemporary story was very well written by the author Cat Andrews. It's situated in present days in the USA with the main characters of Pride and prejudice. Besides the beautiful love story of Will (Darcy) and Elizabeth the author is able to draw such a beautiful picture of Cape Cod that I dearly wish to take a holiday there. If you need to feel on holiday while reading, this book is able to give you this feeling ❤️.
    The book was quite thrilling, not because it happens so much, but because you want to know what is happening next in the legal case or in the love story of Will and Elizabeth.

    The forbidden love between the lawyer Will and his client Elizabeth was beautifully described. I like the chemistry between the two. One could really see the sparks fly when they finally admit their attraction and later their love. But naturally, as you may guess as it is a forbidden love, their story has its ups and downs. I like the way they come to know each other and help each other to overcome and better deal with past injuries. They are good for one another because they can give each other comfort and, also because of this, they have such a beautiful love story.

    I like that the author was able to put the characters of Pride and prejudice in modern times without letting them lose their main character traits. You are easily able to recognise them. Will is as usual very prideful, but with a great sense of honour and always willing to selflessly help Elizabeth. Elizabeth is a bit impertinent and very independent, but she is able to change when she recognizes her errors.

    As always, Wickham has the role as a villain, and be assured, he is definitely capable of fitting into that role in the modern setting of a legal battle between the artists and the town they are living in.

    If you like to know how Will and Elizabeth can love each other despite him being her lawyer in her legal battle to preserve her dune shack, you should definitely read this excellent book.

    I highly recommend it.

    The book contains scenes for a mature audience.

    I received a free copy of the book from the author and am voluntarily leaving a review.

    As a Brazilian, I couldn't contain my happiness seeing all those on point references to my culture. It seems almost repetitive to say Cat's stories are great, well written and researched, but facts are facts. The background story of this book is the most interesting of all. At one point, you're not only worried for ODC, but for the artists' houses as well and that's how you know that a book is THAT good. It's also worth mentioning that I even had trouble focusing on my work because all I wanted to do was finish this book. Now that I have, I'm grieving. Can I go back?Well done, Cat. In Brazilian Portuguese, we say: "Arrasou!", which equals to "You nailed it" in English, but with our typical excitement.

    I really love Cat Andrew's writing style and the way she really makes you feel the characters fall in love with all those little details. But, none of the details of Will's job were accurate, which kept pulling me out of the story. What property lawyer practices employment law, and what firm would let him? And what lawyer sets up a practice for just six months a year and then still makes partner? Also if the Darcy Group habitually represents tenets, they aren't a big commercial firm, and so wouldn't have any real money, so where did the family wealth come from? Given how important all this was to the character and plot, it all just seemed poorly glossed over.
