The Wrong Mr. Darcy by Evelyn Lozada, Holly Lorincz
2.0
2.25⭐
I was very kindly provided with a copy of The Wrong Mr. Darcy many months ago by the publisher in exchange for an honest review, and the first thing I have to say is I have no clue who Ms Lozada is, in fact, I've never heard of her and until I googled her I didn't know she had been married to a sports star, or that she herself had been a reality TV star, particularly in a sports related tv show.
So, I wasn't quite sure what to expect, but with a sport(ish) background and a ghost writer plus what appeared to be a love for Pride and Prejudice I was equal parts intrigued and excited to dive into this story.
But sadly it just wasn't for me as not only did Ms Lozada show she had no knowledge of sport she also showed little love for Pride and prejudice as this wasn't anything like a fun retelling in fact, it barely stuck to the original which is a shame as from the synopsis I was expecting a fun basketball-esque twist on the story.
Yet, there was the bones of a good story here and there were honestly bits I enjoyed, but unfortunately they were few and far between as everything just got lost in inaccuracies, unlikable characters, and a plot that just ultimately jumped about too much.
