You have never read a Jane Austen novel quite like this! Upon reading the ending of Pride and Prejudice, it’s hard not to wish for more than just a kiss between the main characters. For anyone who has ever fantasized about peeking behind the closed doors of Mr. Darcy or the Bennet family, Mitzi Szereto’s erotic Pride and Prejudice: Hidden Lusts would fit well on your bedside table. Unlike an average romance novel which has no more than three or four intimate scenes, Szereto has peppered the pages with romantic entanglements. Readers will get their fill of fun. Szereto believes in equal opportunity love and desire; her sexual encounters include those between men and women, each gender alone, women and women, men and men, and even group flogging! There is something for everyone! Readers familiar with Austen’s story will laugh (and blush) with delight as their favorite characters shed their mild mannered exteriors (and clothes) and succumb to passion. Even if readers have never read the original Pride and Prejudice, Szereto includes the basic story along with new twists and turns. Hopefully there will be a frolicking, fun sequel in the near future.
