Synopsis

Twelve-thousand a year and an extensive estate can gild a sow's ear, or so Elizabeth Elliot has always supposed. But now that she's fallen for the dashing Patrick Gill, Elizabeth is almost ready to give up Mr Rushworth's fortune. Painfully aware of her bruised pride and vulnerable heart, Elizabeth can only despise herself for loving so common a man. But it has never occurred to her that darling Mr Gill guards a secret of his own--and that he might be responsible for her father's disappearance. So Lively a Chase is book 2 of Laura Hile's delightful series Mercy's Embrace: Elizabeth Elliot's story based on Jane Austen's Persuasion.

About this title

From the Inside Flap

"Laura Hile has written an engrossing series - fast-paced, humorous, and realistic. Excuse me, please. I have another book to read!" -Robin Helm, author of Understanding Elizabeth and Yours By Design
 
"I never dreamed I would be so desperate to learn Elizabeth Elliot's fate, but as Book Two of the Mercy's Embrace series by Laura Hile ended on a total cliffhanger, it's highly likely that this question will dominate my mind until I finally have the satisfaction of holding the book in my anxious little hands." - Alexa Adams, author of First Impressions

Review

"So Lively a Chase takes readers on a fast-paced and captivating pursuit filled with characters that will make you chuckle, schemes that will find you turning pages as fast as you can, and a cliffhanger that will leave you wanting more, more, more!! I found this second book an even more entertaining read than the first (another tall order!) and in the words of our beloved Caroline Bingley, I say "I am all astonishment" to find I LOVE this series as much as any Pride and Prejudice series and I recommend it to every JAFF reader as their next must-read series!!" - Just Jane 1813
"When reading one of her novels I become so invested that sometimes my heart beats faster or I anxiously hold my breath. Other times I am laughing out loud and wearing a perpetual smile upon my face. Laura Hile is truly an exceptionally skilled author, and I am a devoted admirer of her writing!" - Austenesque Reviews
"Whether it is Austen's characters or her own, Hile's characterizations are wonderful." - Leatherbound Reviews
"These amusing,well-developed ancillary plots helped drive the story; each so engaging and fast-paced, I could hardly believe how quickly I was turning pages just to keep up with all the action. Hile's masterful depiction of Austen's pretentious,vain, selfish, and thoughtless Elizabeth Elliot is undergoing a glorious transformation before our very eyes ..." - Christina Boyd, Austenprose
"Fantastic story! I'm hooked! Beware, this story ends with a rather large cliffhanger!! I would highly recommend buying all three books!" - So Little Time
"I can't express enough what a wonderful job Laura Hile did with this story. If you like Jane Austen inspired stories I recommend you give this a try. You will not be disappointed." - To Read or Not To Read
