I love all things Austen-inspired, but I tend to go through periods where I want a specific type of story. Sometimes I’m reading exclusively Regency titles, and then at other times I feel like changing things up and will stick with mostly moderns. I’m currently on a modern kick, so this story hit at just the right time. Add to that fact that Darcy is looking to spend the summer with his son on a beautiful island in Maine at the outset of the story, and the timing couldn’t be better for a charming late-summer read!What I just LOVED about this story:1) Of course, I have to start with the relationship between the protagonists. The care and the time that the author takes developing both their back stories and then their coming together made me extremely invested in their story, and I couldn’t wait to get to the next volume. The slow and tentative exploration of their feelings feels realistic in light of all Lizzy has gone through before the story begins, and you can’t help but fall in love with Will as he supports Lizzy and loves her through her fears.2) How the island and the city of Portland almost become characters in the story. Andrews describes these places and develops each scene in such a way that you feel as if you are there in the moment with your favorite couple. Clearly the author has either spent time there and has a deep love for the area, or she did extensive research into the places she describes. I found myself looking them up just to see them for myself!3) Will as a father. With all the Austen-inspired books I have read, I don’t think I’ve ever seen another author do such justice to that parental relationship. If the way he cares for Lizzy isn’t enough to get you to fall in love with him, the way he treats Jack definitely will be.4) And finally, just the overall quality and excellence of the writing. Clearly the author has put her heart and soul into this story, and the result is beautifully emotional and compelling.What I think you should know before reading:1) First, this is not the story to pick up if you want a quick or light read. Sanctuary is the title you choose when you are looking to make strong connections with the characters, really spend time with them investing in their day-to-day moments, and feel like you’re saying goodbye to a dear friend when you reach the end.2) Second, while the story is definitely Austen-inspired, it could definitely stand on its own, so if you are someone who likes an author to stick closely to cannon, this isn’t the story for you. The romance between the main characters is all you want it to be and more, but the author does take some liberties with the supporting cast.3) This is an adult story set in modern times, and Lizzy has survived a traumatic first marriage. The beauty of this story is watching these two characters learn to love and trust one another, and that includes a healthy dose of physical intimacy. It is extremely tender and loving intimacy, rather beautifully depicted in my opinion, but there are those who read Austen and Austen-inspired work looking for something completely untouched by those types of scenes, and it should be made clear that this isn’t what this story is.4) While the author does end the first volume on a bit of a cliff hanger, volume 2 should be out very shortly after volume 1, so don't let that deter you. I have actually enjoyed reading Sanctuary so much that I have gone ahead and ordered the paperback version today to add to my JAFF hard-copy collection, because I know I will revisit these characters again many times in the future like old friends. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Well written slow burner *by K***R on Reviewed in the United States on December 23, 2020* 1. Book in the Sanctuary trilogy.A contemporary, off canon story that was engaging, well written and ladled with sexual tension.Loved the location on an island off the Maine coast and what the island community added to the story. Several of canon's characters had been appointed new roles, off and on the island, some may come as a surprise.Both Mr Darcy and Elizabeth have been married before and are deeply wounded from the experience albeit in entirely different ways.Jack, Mr Darcy's son was adorable butMr Darcy's pining for his dead wife (not a spoiler, happens in the first pages) was difficult to stomach. I am one of those who shy away from reading stories were either of ODC (our dear couple) have been/are romantically involved with anybody else...He was otherwise very well portraited as tonguetied but adorable.Not so sure about this subdued Elizabeth. Perfectly natural and plausible with the storyline but I prefer her with a little more edge and wit. It will be interesting to see how her character evolves through the trilogy though.PS: In my corner of the world, Mr Darcy's first impression would be considered perfectly natural, not rude at all. A quirky cultural difference between US society versus Scandinavian :) ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars A truly great love story! *by R***K on Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2024* Sanctuary is one of the most magnificent love stories in the world of Jane Austen fan fiction.Elizabeth and Darcy meet after separately moving from a big city to a beautiful residential island off the coast of Maine.Both need healing after a previous heartbreak. (Their backstory is both fascinating and dramatic.) They fall in love fast, but their love develops slowly in the most moving way possible.All other P&P characters are equally well drawn. I adored all three volumes and found myself missing the characters when the books ended. This Darcy is one of my favorites ever written in JAFF. I highly recommend all three volumes and recently found myself rereading all three. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/233619245-sanctuary-volume-1-sanctuary-a-modern-pride-and-prejudice-variation](https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/233619245-sanctuary-volume-1-sanctuary-a-modern-pride-and-prejudice-variation) --- *Product available on Desertcart Thailand* *Store origin: TH* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
