1st Place Winner in Category, 2013 Chatelaine Awards Romantic Fiction In this thrilling and sensual adaptation of the classic love story, Elizabeth Bennet and the citizens of Hertfordshire know Fitzwilliam Darcy to be a proud, unpleasant sort of man, but they never suspect the dark secret of his true nature. He is not a man at all - but a vampire. When the haughty and wealthy Fitzwilliam Darcy arrives in the rural county of Hertfordshire, he finds he cannot control his attraction to Elizabeth Bennet - a horrifying thought because, as she is too far below his social standing to ignite his heart, he fears she must appeal to the dark impulses he struggles to suppress. Set against the vivid backdrop of historical Regency England, this adaptation of Pride and Prejudice follows the cursed Mr. Darcy as he endeavours to overcome both his love and his bloodlust for Miss Elizabeth Bennet. Although Pulse and Prejudice adheres to the original plot and style of the Jane Austen classic, it is not a "mash-up" but an imaginative, thrilling variation told primarily from Mr. Darcy's point of view as he descends into the seedier side of London and introduces Elizabeth to a world of passion and the paranormal she never knew existed. Pulse and Prejudice has been meticulously researched for historical accuracy and remains faithful to nineteenth century literary conventions and Miss Austen's narrative. The author spent fifteen months traveling to Britain and researching Regency England, as well as vampire lore and literature. In the few instances in which the plots overlap, excerpts from canon have been expertly woven in so that prior knowledge of Pride and Prejudice is not required for full enjoyment of this remarkable novel.

Review "I recommend this book whole heartedly. This is a good re-telling, gripping and entertaining without being outrageous." - Austen Prequels and Sequels "I cannot express enough how skeptical I was upon starting this book. Pride and Prejudice with a touch of vampires was enough to send me into fits of eye rolls. But, within only the first chapter, I found myself strangely drawn to the story. The vampire Darcy weaves his spell quickly." - Austenprose"What would Jane Austen have thought? I think she would have loved this book. She might even have written it herself had she lived in a less constrained age." - Books Are Cool "Darcy's demise and subsequent 'rebirth' are written to perfection. It has renewed my faith in the sub-genre."- Reflections of a Book Addict
From the Author Q: Most, if not all, Jane Austen Fan Fiction assumes the reader has a strong knowledge of the source material, in this case Pride and Prejudice. Do you think readers of Pulse and Prejudice need to know Jane Austen's original well? A: No. This has always been intended as a stand-alone adaptation of Miss Austen's classic. At the time I began the project, I had never even heard of JAFF--and neither had my beta readers! In fact, I finished Volume I last because five of my six beta readers had either not read Pride and Prejudice or had "read it so long ago" that they didn't remember it, and so I had to add more of Miss Austen's dialogue to provide clarification and context. This time, however, we see Mr. Darcy's interpretation of events. Because I worked to channel Miss Austen while writing this, adhering to her style and language, who am I to change her words on the few occasions that the plots overlap? Several readers who had never read Pride and Prejudice have asked that I publish a combination, with facing pages of Pulse and Prejudice on the timeline with the original so they can see what Elizabeth is doing, say, while Darcy is in London, and get her perspective. I have absolute no idea how something like that could be accomplished! I suggest that they read them both together since everyone should real Pride and Prejudice at least once. I am always pleased to hear from readers who say that reading my adaptation made them want to read the original.

Mr. Darcy makes the perfect vampire hero By Z Hayes I have been an ardent fan of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice (Norton Critical Editions) since I was a young teen and have read most of the reimagined tales based on Elizabeth and Darcy, the two main characters in Pride and Prejudice. I am not an Austen purist so I tend to enjoy film adaptations like Lost in Austen and also creative takes on the story such as the recent Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: The Deluxe Heirloom Edition (Quirk Classics). I was predictably excited to read Pulse and Prejudice which imagines Mr. Darcy as a vampire!Author Colette Saucier has put a fun, thrilling twist to Mr. Darcy in this engaging adaptation. She has obviously done her research and the Regency world inhabited by Elizabeth and Darcy comes vibrantly alive. I admit I love supernatural reads, and seeing Mr. Darcy portrayed as a vampire wasn't shocking at all, in fact it was thrilling to see one of my favorite literary characters reimagined as a supernatural creature, and convincingly at that! Also, a nice twist in the reconceptualizing of Mr. Wickham here:-) He's still a villain, but let's just say he's also something much more. I could absolutely believe why Darcy and Wickham loathe each other so much with the twist the author places in the narrative.The language of Austen is very much alive in here, but I enjoyed this though it seemed a little too reminiscent of the source work. However, the author does also include her own impressions and fills in some 'gaps' in the source work which work to this novel's advantage since these impressions credibly portray Darcy's vampire side.This is recommended for those who enjoy reading reworkings of Austen's works with a supernatural bent, and definitely not for Austen purists!
3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. 3.5 stars! Mr. Darcy Vants to Drink Your Blood! By Meredith (Austenesque Reviews) We all know that Mr. Darcy is fastidious, aloof, and private, but according to Colette Saucier, he has every reason to exhibit these traits. In Pulse and Prejudice, Mr. Darcy is...a vampire. That's right, he is no longer human - he is immortal and cursed! Mr. Darcy needs to be fastidious because with his blood cravings, extremely cold skin, and abhorrence of human food - Darcy fears others may become suspicious of his unusual habits. Mr. Darcy has to remain aloof because he firmly believes that, due to his condition, marriage, family, love are no longer in his future. Mr. Darcy must guard his privacy because his secret nature, if discovered, would ruin his reputation and his sister's future...In Colette Saucier's vampiric retelling of Pride and Prejudice, readers are able to witness how much stronger Darcy's attraction to Elizabeth is and how much harder he tries to resist her...While this isn't the first vampire Darcy to appear on the scene (Mr. Darcy, Vampyre by Amanda Grange, Vampire Darcy's Desires by Regina Jeffers, Blood and Prejudice by Susan Krinard in Bespelling Jane Austen), it is one written almost entirely from Mr. Darcy's perspective. So here's your chance to get into vampire Darcy's head!My favorite scenes in this novel, were when Darcy's vampirism took over. His unguarded moments, filled with longing, battling for control..."Overcome by craving, he moved behind her, holding her against his chest. He tightened his arms around her, their faces touching cheek to cheek...he need only untie her bonnet to reveal her throat and take that for which he hungered. He loosened the ribbon to expose her pulse and held his open mouth against it, allowing his tongue to lathe along the beating flush. His body trembled with desire. He sucked gently and pressed his teeth into her neck without breaking the skin..."*swoon* Doesn't that just make you melt?In addition, I found Ms. Saucier's new characters Comtesse de Calmet, Lord Calmet, and Amadeus to be very intriguing and invigorating additions! I enjoyed seeing Darcy get jealous of another man paying attention to Elizabeth and I like how the Comtesse was looking out for Darcy and expressing her concerns. I feel like that there might be more to her than we were told...I'm not sure though, since her story ended without any other clues...Perhaps she will make an appearance in the next book?My one main quibble for this novel is that I sometimes felt the vampire aspect too tame. I don't think it needed more blood and gore, I'm not a fan of graphic violence. It's just that Darcy's vampirism was just a little too well-controlled for my taste. He is a relatively "new" vampire, and yet he already seems resigned and used to his affliction. He was a very human vampire, I think I would have enjoyed the story more if we got to see a little bit more of the out-of-control, dangerous, and mysterious sort. In addition, I felt the history about Darcy becoming a vampire a little too thin and lacking in detail. I was very interested in learning more about the circumstances regarding Darcy becoming a vampire.Thoughtfully blended and reverently portrayed - Pulse and Prejudice is a paranormal retelling that, first and foremost, remains true to Jane Austen's novel. It will make your pulse race a little, but not give you fainting fits! While this Darcy isn't as intoxicating and daring as Damon Salvatore - he nonetheless makes a very yummy vampire!Note: Because there are two brief intimate love scenes within the last thirty pages, I'd recommend this novel for Mature Audiences.Austenesque Reviews
3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. I loved this story By DCook I loved this story. A few months ago I read the Darcy Madness... Darcy was a shape shifter, he became a black panther. That book was wonderful and I have read it twice.. so far. So when I saw a book about Darcy as a vampire I had to read it. I could not put it down. I hope to see more of these variations. I still love the realistic P & P stories but these are a great twist to a classic story.
