Kara Lou is an excellent writer.  In Pemberley's Promise, she manages to stay both true to Jane Austen's original and beloved characters while being thoroughly creative.  This is a period Pride and Prejudice based novel with a modern and adult point of view.  It's a fast paced, page turner that you won't be able to put down until you're through.  I loved it and if you love Darcy and Elizabeth, you will too!!
