Pemberley Ranch

By Jack Caldwell

Book Overview

When the smoke has cleared from the battlefields and the civil war has finally ended, fervent Union supporter Beth Bennet reluctantly moves with her family from their home in Meryton, Ohio, to the windswept plains of Rosings, Texas. Handsome, haughty Will Darcy, a Confederate officer back from the war, owns half the land around Rosings, and his even haughtier cousin, Cate Burroughs, owns the other half. In a town as small as Rosings, Beth and Will inevitably cross paths. But as Will becomes enchanted with the fiery Yankee, Beth won't allow herself to warm to the man who represents the one thing she hates most: the army that killed her only brother. But when carpetbagger George Whitehead arrives in Rosings, all that Beth thought to be true is turned on its head, and the only man who can save her home is the one she swore she'd never trust... "It's Pride and Prejudice meets Gone with the Wind-with that kind of romance and excitement." -Sharon Lathan, bestselling author of In the Arms of Mr. Darcy

Customer Reviews

If you love Austen and history, you have to read this book!

Being a huge Jane Austen fan, I saw this book and thought I would give it a try. I had no idea that I would enjoy it as much as I did! I finished the book in 2 days!! I could not put it down. :-) It has my beloved Mr. Darcy in a whole different light. I absolutely loved it! The story of Darcy and Elizabeth is my favorite out of all of Austen's books. I really like the way that Mr. Caldwell threw bits of the Civil War and some Texas history into the story. It has some action, romance and everything that you want out of a good book. This book was fantastic! Mr. Caldwell did a fabulous job writing a newer and very different version of Pride and Prejudice. If you love to read Jane Austen, you should really read this book!
