#BookReview: Pride and Prejudice in Space by @AlexisLampley




Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice is arguably the forerunner of all romantic comedies and certainly one of her most popular and irreverent works. And now, graphic designer and Nerdy Ink co-owner—and obsessive fan of Pride and Prejudice—Alexis Lampley gives this timeless, classic, Regency-era romance a new twist, setting it among the stars in a futuristic universe where spaceships and interplanetary travel is the daily norm. Featuring 50+ color illustrations of the Londinium Lunar System, drawings of gowns by Lydia Bennet, and spaceship designs by Elizabeth Bennet, this is a futuristic take on a classic by a dedicated Jane Austen fan, for Austen newbies and super-fans alike.

Did I want to be an exotic dancer for a living? Hell no, but it put food on my table while I worked toward my dream job.

I loved dancing, but it's a great way to catch the eyes of all kinds of men. Take the Dusk Bay Smashers rugby union team, for example. Arrogant, self assured and determined to get what they want, no matter who they have to crash tackle to get it.

When they set their sights on me, there's nowhere to run. Not when all I want is to work for the team. I'm going to have to play nice for a while. That's not so hard when they're all so attractive.

Of course nothing is ever that simple. Tearing the whole team apart might just be the beginning. If we drop the ball, there might not be anyone left to cross the try line.

Taking a break from dating seems like the ultimate plan—just me, my wrestling podcast, and zero romantic drama. Then I meet Cooper Grind, the tight end for the Silverbacks. He’s adorkable, hilarious, and completely inexperienced when it comes to love. And I mean in every way.

So when he proposes a wild scheme—a pretend relationship to keep the female attention at bay—I can’t help but agree.

As we dive into our new “couple” status, I’m swept up in the exciting world of professional football. Although our dates are fake, Cooper makes an adventure out of every moment we spend together. For an inexperienced guy, he’s surprisingly convincing in his boyfriend role.

When stolen glances and playful banter spark something deeper, I realize I just might be in over my head. Because the more we fake it, the more real it starts to feel.

Despite facing my best defensive efforts, this superstar rookie is smashing through my reservations with alarming precision.

And now our charade is turning into something I never expected—the purest fake.
