Chaos Comes to Longbourn by Victoria Kincaid Blog Tour (Fall 2016)
Hello everyone, we’ve got a new tour filling up for Fall 2016 (Sept.-Nov.): Chaos Comes to Longbour by Victoria Kincaid, published in July 2016.
This humorous Pride and Prejudice variation begins at the Netherfield ball. While attempting to suppress his desire to dance with Elizabeth Bennet, Mr. Darcy flees the ballroom only to stumble upon a half-dressed Lydia Bennet in the library. After a shrieking, nerve-stricken Mrs. Bennet discovers them in this compromising position, Darcy is forced to make Lydia an offer of marriage.
A few weeks later, Bingley returns from London to discover that a heartbroken Jane has accepted an offer from Collins. Bingley instead proposes to Elizabeth, who accepts with the hope of reuniting him with Jane. Now Darcy must cope with jealousy toward Bingley and a fiancée who longs to get her hands on the grand estate of “Pembleton” (or is it “Peckersly?”). Lydia, in turn, is jealous that Wickham has proposed to Charlotte Lucas—who (much to Wickham’s dismay) does not find red coats nearly as appealing as clerical collars.
Although Darcy yearns for Elizabeth, he feels honor bound by his promise to Lydia. Elizabeth has also developed feelings for the master of Pemberley, but he has never seemed so far out of her reach. How can Darcy and Elizabeth unravel this tangle of hilariously misbegotten betrothals and reach their happily ever after?
Advance Praise:
Five Stars. “Ms. Kincaid has spun a tale that is quite comedic, while she simultaneously manages to balance her story with the serious consequences contained within each couples’ own particular situation. I love that her plot never sags or wanes and that she also manages to develop Darcy and Elizabeth’s own budding relationship in the midst of all of this chaos.” –JustJane1813.com
“I was a little apprehensive going into this book but after I started reading I couldn’t put it down. The hilarity that ensues because of all these unlikely couples having to hook up because of compromises and convenience….Victoria Kincaid proves yet again that she is a rising star in the world of JAFF fiction. This is definitely one of her best books.” – Half Agony/Half Hope Blog
“A really great variation to the traditional story. Takes all our favorite characters and throws them in the blender. Kept me guessing and reading all night. Entertaining, funny, well-written, and lots of interesting tidbits. Ms. Austen herself would approve. Had me guessing until the very last chapter!” Five Stars – Amazon Customer
“The zany aspects of the story are nicely balanced by the more serious consequences of these mismatches. The reader is given insight into all the anguish experienced by Darcy, Bingley and even Jane. There is a breath-taking almost-kiss between a pair, each of whom is engaged to someone else. It all seems like a hopeless muddle that will end in several unhappy marriages, which isn’t really a laughing matter. I will not hint at any spoilers beyond saying that events do proceed to a HEA for almost everyone. This is just a delightful and well written story from beginning to end. I highly recommend!” Five Stars – Debbie B.
“What a book! I was quite apprehensive to start this book since I could never imagine dear Mr. Darcy with anyone other than Elizabeth. I couldn’t even imagine myself with him! Nevertheless, I’m happy I read this book. ‘Chaos’ wouldn’t be enough to describe the events in this book….It’s as hilarious as it sounds, folks. There were a lot of funny parts in the book that made me laugh out loud…” Of Pens and Pages Blog
“One of the funniest variations I’ve read! It is so topsy turvy but it was hilarious! I loved to read the thoughts of the characters as the author presented them in a very witty and clever way….Of course, all the couples right themselves in the end and they all live happily ever after. I definitely was laughing throughout the story, even with Lydia. In fact, some of the funniest interactions were between Lydia and Darcy. Oh man, poor Darcy! Definitely one I want to read again and again!” Five Stars – R. Mayorga

A lifelong Austen fan, Victoria has read more Jane Austen variations and sequels than she can count – and confesses to an extreme partiality for the Colin Firth version of Pride and Prejudice.
