From Publishers Weekly:
U.K. author Potter makes her U.S. debut with Emily Albright, 29, a New York bookstore manager, who half-seriously blames Jane Austen's Fitzwilliam Darcy for her abysmal dating life: Darcy sets the bar too high. As Christmas approaches, Emily, to avoid a holiday with co-worker Stella, signs up for a tour of Darcy territory, lighting out, amusingly, with a gaggle of gray-haired Darcy maniacs. As the tour group weaves in and out of Darcy locales, Emily butts heads with Spike Hargreaves, a handsome young journalist interviewing the group. Soon, the jet-lagged, drink-laden Emily finds herself—presto!—time traveling and meeting Mr. Darcy himself, complete with frock coat. As her acquaintance with Darcy deepens, Emily, to her great surprise, finds herself thinking about Spike. Despite the plot's predictability, Potter's chick lit take on Darcy has a refreshing not-trying-to-equal-the-master feel.

I don't read as much 'chick-lit' as I used to but there are certain authors I always keep a look out for because I always enjoy them. Alexandra Potter is one of them.

This book started off as my 'Bag book' that gets read on the tram/bus etc but I got so into the story that I just spent the last hour or more in bed finishing it off ;)

It was a lovely story with a few nice twists! The characters were lovely and there was a hint of paranormal too! What I really liked was that the book is set over Christmas/New Year so it was the right time of year. I also enjoyed the American gal getting used the Brits!

Lovely book that I enjoyed reading even though I am not a Mr Darcy fan. I will be looking for future books by this author.

Thanks again Antheras for sending me a wishlist book!!

Thank you!
