Pride and Prejudice: Hidden Lusts

Coming in July 2011!

Imagine that Jane Austen had written the opening line of her satirical novel Pride and Prejudice this way: “It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a good romp and a good wife—although not necessarily from the same person or from the opposite sex.” In Pride and Prejudice: Hidden Lusts, the entire cast of characters from Austen’s classic is here, caught with their breeches unbuttoned and their skirts raised high in this rewrite that goes all the way – and then some! Mr. Darcy has never been more devilish and the seemingly chaste Elizabeth never more turned on.

In this no-holds-barred account, men are not necessarily the only dominating sex. This time Mr. Bingley and his sister both have designs on Mr. Darcy’s manhood; Elizabeth’s dear friend Charlotte marries their family’s strange relation, discovering that her husband’s pious nature extends to worship of a different sort; and, in this telling, Lady Catherine de Bourgh takes the disciplining of those in the parish very seriously. As for the handsome Mr. Wickham, he’s wickeder than ever! And of course there’s plenty of good old-fashioned bodice ripping that shows no pride or prejudice and reveals hot hidden lusts in every scandalous page-turning chapter. This is the book Jane Austen would have written, if only she’d had the nerve!

Five stars go to Pride and Prejudice: Hidden Lusts!

“Readers familiar with Austen’s story will laugh (and blush) with delight as their favorite characters shed their mild mannered exteriors (and clothes) and succumb to passion. Even if readers have never read the original Pride and Prejudice, Szereto includes the basic story along with new twists and turns. Hopefully there will be a frolicking, fun sequel in the near future,” says the Sacramento and San Francisco Book Review about Pride and Prejudice: Hidden Lusts

“… A glorious, breathless gallop through the word-smithing antics based on Jane Austen’s most popular classic novel… Written with Szereto’s deft humor, combined with Austen’s style, the result is a great deal of fun with literature, with scandal and laughter on every page.

Even the Irish can no longer remain immune to Mitzi Szereto‘s bold and raunchy Jane Austen sacrilege! Here’s what the country’s culture magazine Hot Press has to say about Pride and Prejudice: Hidden Lusts:

“Instead of living happily ever after, Elizabeth and Darcy have faced murderers and zombies. Now Mitzi Szereto gives the classic novel an erotic work-over. It’s not just bodice ripping, but Szereto has thrown in a sprinkling of gay desire and BDSM as well.”

Periscope Press names Pride and Prejudice: Hidden Lusts as among the year’s top picks for good books in their article “The year in books: From the Booker Prize to Roald Dahl’s hut.”

The Pride and Prejudice: Hidden Lusts book chatter continues with Rambles.Net, who say: ”This novel uses Szereto’s spicy additions to explore and elaborate on the character’s motivations, thus legitimately reinterpreting Jane Austen’s story rather than simply jamming in the erotica… Szereto’s imagination will surprise, her interpretations will intrigue…”

“What I really liked about Szereto’s rendition is that it made sense and the insertions were much lovelier to read than the inclusion of dead, grizzled walking corpses…  So as long as you don’t take your Austen too seriously, I think you will find this version an amusing and  titillating treat!” says Girls in the Stacks about Pride and Prejudice: Hidden Lusts.

“This novel is quite respectful of the original. Szereto’s version is hilarious and accomplished. Who is to say that Jane Austen wouldn’t have written something like this if the zeitgeist of her era had been more like that of ours? In years to come, this book will probably be regarded as a classic in its own right,” says Jean Roberta about Pride and Prejudice: Hidden Lusts.
