Not Exactly Mr. Darcy by Carolyn MillerMy rating: 💛💛💛
I did not expect to like this one as much as I did. It was very relaxing, entertaining but also had some deeper moments with the characters dealing with baggage affecting their fears and boundaries around their hearts.
Olivia had such a positive bubbly personality and it was easy to be swept away in her lively outlook on life. Nothing seemed like a challenge for her.
Liam was a very brooding but dashing gentleman and as his history was revealed to the readers.
I enjoyed all the interactions between these characters and especially how Olivia broke through the walls Liam had built just with her easy going joyful attitude.
If you are looking for an easy, fun and comfy book to have a break from life, you need to pick this one up.

About the book:
Pride, Pemberley, and Second Chances
When history-loving Olivia Bennett’s teaching contract isn’t renewed, she is considered her family’s logical choice to care for her ailing grandmother in a tiny English village. While there, she soon finds additional work at nearby Hartbury Hall—one of England’s great houses once used as Pemberley in a filmed production of Pride and Prejudice. The head gardener there, however, proves to be anything but the gentlemanly hero of that famous book. Little does she know that behind Liam Browne’s brusque exterior is both a family tragedy and a legacy that demands truth and honor, creating a crisis that only Liv’s vivacious determination can resolve. Along the way, she may just learn that appearances count for naught. . .and that love can be found in unexpected ways.
