I cannot wait to publish my review of this book that hooked me from page one until the end. Along with Mr. Darcy's Noble Connections this is now my favourite Abigail Reynolds book.” �" Austenesque Reviews“I heard from several that this was a really good book, and possibly the author's best to date. I had to read it, and now I must agree. It is an awesome read. The first meeting of Darcy and Lizzy is almost like a fairy-tale and I loved it! Part of it is carried throughout the book. This is a story to savor with characters that are well-drawn and believable. England is under French rule and allows the characters to have unique experiences. The premise is brilliant and the story is difficult to put down. If you haven't read it, do!” - More Agreeably Engaged“Conceit and Concealment is capital U unique as no other JAFF novel has been before it, and it will take a great deal for any other to surpass it in the combination of interest and quality. The original plot line and fascinating premise kept me spellbound, yet Darcy's & Elizabeth's characters were tightly matched to Austen's. Bravo!” - Suzan Lauder
