Denial of Conscience A Modern Darcy and Elizabeth Adventure The Conscience Series Book 1 edition by Cat Gardiner Contemporary Romance eBooks

As I said earlier today this story is sexy, lush and riveting!

I was sent a 34 page sample of this book by the author several weeks ago and upon reading that coined this book as "James Bond meets Jane Austen". It lives up to both genres! Excitement, thrills, espionage, flying across the Atlantic, riding bullet trains thru Europe, handsome men seducing the ladies and ladies with deadly skills, this book does not let down from hypnotizing action.

The book description ends with a note from the author that telling us she borrowed the names and some of the characteristics of Jane Austen’s characters for her story. And I was smiling at not only where the author assigned names but also the extremely clever way she put Jane Austen’s words and/or phrases into the mouths of our players. Yes, it has been done before but here it is just done with so much more stealth and humor! I.e., Elizabeth taking a dance lesson and when Jane mentions that a dark, striking hottie is staring at her says, “He’s alright, not handsome enough to tempt me.

Both Elizabeth and Darcy are suffering from the “sins of the mother”. As a result of the trauma with that event in her life, Lizzy steps into the “woman of the house” role, sacrificing any freedom to experience life in order stay at Longbourn and take care of her father. And Mr. Bennet relies on her role as a martyr. But as Longbourn is falling apart, literally, he additionally pushes her to make a further contribution to his goals…to marry for money to save the estate. In steps Bill Collins. But he is not at all what she thinks he is and, even with Jane’s and others’ warnings about her fiancé, Lizzy goes ahead with wedding plans. Part of the plans is for dance lessons at the Bingley Dance Studio in preparation for the wedding reception

Darcy has run from the tragedy in his past, a tragedy which involved both of his parents, his sister and his childhood friend, George Wickham. No, it is not as in P&P at all. This is a ghastly shocker. Aunt Catherine is there and Darcy joins the Navy SEALS and then trains as an assassin working for Obsidian. He becomes known as “Iceman” and with several experiences plus his family history has sworn off all women. During an assignment in which he lays in wait to execute his next assignment he spies Lizzy in her dilapidated jeep flying along listening to an opera on her cassette player and names her Lakmé from the aria. But when he spies her through his scope, plans for the code plan “Virginia Reel” abruptly change.

They are next in company when he goes to a planned meeting of the Obsidian team at the Bingley Dance Studio. He is taken by surprise when Lizzy walks in to partake in a group lesson for a tango for her wedding. He overhears her remark, but when she is the odd woman out for the next part of the group lesson he steps in to partner her. They dance in silence but “neither could deny how they made each other feel in their arms. In a word: inferno.” At the end, “Thank you for the dance, Liz.” He walks away and mounts his motorcycle and leaves. She is left to wonder how he knew her name.

The action is fast and furious. The CIA is involved and an international gunrunner with ties to the team’s past has deadly plans for Mr. Bennet and others. It is race to intercede before state secrets fall into terrorists’ and enemy’s hands.

Both Darcy and Elizabeth fight their attraction to each other. Neither trusts members of the opposite gender. It was delicious to read of all the sexual chemistry simmering in the air around these two. Both Bennet sisters heat up the environment in this book. I loved the language the author used to describe intimate scenes between ODC. It is well done. Yes, this is a MA story.

There are many references to snakes in this book. Darcy hates them and assigns the names of such to the whole class of women as this is how he views them. Orchids also come into play. Darcy’s mother raised them and we now learn of Lizzy doing the same.

Caroline Bingley has some surprises in store for the readers, which don’t come into play until towards the end. She kicks ass! And she has not lost her lusting after Darcy. Bingley is a different man – I liked his new professional side! But then he also has some “international” tastes in his love life.

I could not put this book down and completed it in less than a day. I will read it again. I highly recommend it this book.

Denial of Conscience A Modern Darcy and Elizabeth Adventure The Conscience Series Book 1 edition by Cat Gardiner Contemporary Romance eBooks Reviews

I have to say that Cat Gardiner has done it again!!! She pulled out all the stops romance, adventure, espionage, hot Harley riding Darcy, the sizzling tango, selfish Mr Bennet, exotic locales.....and so much more!!!

Elizabeth is out of character in here, to begin with she is demure and capitulates to her father, the good girl who didn't move away, who always takes care of her father. She continually states that she is not romantic.

Darcy, what can I say but that he is an ex-SEAL sniper, hot Harley riding bad-ass, with an aversion to romantic entanglements. He was the rich boy from Pemberley that we all know and love until one fateful day....no I'm not gonna spoil it!!!

On an assignment to 'take out' a traitor, Darcy sees Elizabeth and his whole world seems to tilt, though he doesn't acknowledge it at first. The more these two are thrown together the more interesting things get. Elizabeth, the one we know and love, starts to emerge, and Darcy becomes less icy.

Cat Gardiner is a master at spinning her tale, especially with the modern day P&P. Again I've said this before, but I tend to love the regency P&P variations better, but Cat just enthralls me and has won a fan and loyal reader forever!!!! I would highly recommend DoC to any and all JAFFers, though be warned this is definitely not in canon and there are hot, yet tasteful, sex scenes!!!
This was fun, well written, and entertaining. The characters were different from P&P but that didn’t detract at all. Darcy is tortured and cold, Lizzy is subservient and weak, Jane is a sexpot, and Charlie is a ladies man. I liked the plot. Darcy as a spy is rather novel and the author does a wonderful job of showing us why he is the Iceman. Lizzy is a total pushover, even to the point of agreeing to marry Collins! Fortunately the story brings Lizzy and Darcy to a new understanding of who they want to be and how they might become it. It’s action packed and there’s a fair amount of hot sex. If hot sex is not what you’re into, don’t let that stop you from reading this, the storyline is great and the sex scenes would be easy to skip or skim. If there’s a negative for me it’s Jane who seems to have absolutely no redeeming qualities. She’s into Charlie, but then she’s into any guy she sees pretty much. She’s rather one dimensional and seems to think hot sex is the solution to every problem. Charlie will sleep with anyone “hot” so he and Jane are perfect for each other, I just didn’t like them at all
