Mallory Jansen plays Professor Eloise Cavendish a Jane Austen expert who has been asked to give the key note speech at the annual JALA (Jane Austen League of America) Conference and Ball. She is hoping to impress Victoria Jennings who is on the hiring committee at Princeton for a professorship Eloise has applied for. Unfortunately, Eloise does not get off to the best start by offending Victoria's nephew...her very own Mr. Darcy...aka her guest of honor liaison. And she really puts her foot in it when she says she doesn't like all of the pomp and circumstance...she is not a romantic. Doesn't like balls and dress-up or being the center of attention, that is until she finds out that Victoria does. Then she teams up with Victoria's Nephew Sam Lee to win Victoria over. In the process these two become very close.

I love Jane Austen...with Pride and Prejudice and Persuasion being my favorites, but I confess to having been a little skeptical as to whether I would enjoy this Hallmark Austen-centric film...but I enjoyed it and am looking forward to the other two upcoming for 2024's Lovuary-February.

"I'm a scholar, not some Fitzwilliam Darcy fan girl."-Eloise

I rather enjoyed the chemistry between Mallory Jansen and Will Kemp...but don't get me wrong, Will Kemp makes this Hallmark romantic film and carries off a Darcy costume with panache! This is a recommendation to both Jane Austen fans and romantics alike.
