I will start off by saying when I saw the synopsis of this book, my first thought was "Ohhh, another retelling of Pride and Prejudice.". I truthfully wasn't very positive about this book when I first heard about it.
I am a fan of Pride and Prejudice, so I felt the need to read this book to see how alike or different the author, Robin Helm, took the story.
I am very glad I took the opportunity to read Robin Helm's, More to Love. Robin took a classic story and gave it some twists and turns to make the storyline interesting and fun. I appreciate that the author didn't ruin the original story, but expanded on it to make it a good read for those who enjoy the Pride and Prejudice book!
More to Love is the first book in the My Beloved, My Friend series. Robin Helm is a "new to me Author", but I am excited to read the next book in this series as well as other books by Robin Helm. GREAT BOOK!!

More from Robin
Have you ever been judged on the basis of your appearance – what you weigh, how you dress, how you wear your hair or do your makeup? I am a professional dieter, and I have been on all of them. I lose, and I gain it back. I know the lengths a woman will go to after she overhears remarks about how she looks, so I relate to Elizabeth in More to Love in a way that’s a bit beyond my comfort zone. Another aspect of this book which is personal is that I chose to base a supporting character on a wonderful, Christian lady at my church (with her permission). Mrs. Donna Bailey has been a constant encouragement to me in regards to my writing. She often gives me beautiful sugar cookies she painstakingly decorates with holiday themes. Mrs. Bailey is the housekeeper and dessert cook at Longbourn, and she helps Elizabeth through thick and thin, so to speak.
