The Unread Letters
Hello fellow readers! As I am writing this blog review, I am gazing longingly outdoors wanting to go on a Lizzie Bennet long walk. Alas, the skies are gloomy and a walk is not meant to be. So instead, dear friends, I will write this letter to you about a book I just read. The title of the book is The Unread Letter by Kara Pleasants. I must admit at first I found this to be quite a peculiar name. Which letter was unread? Who was it written by? I couldn’t imagine a Pride & Prejudice world without each and every letter. My friends, I knew I had to read…

Fearful Symmetry
Longbourn is on fire! Hello fellow reader. Welcome to a review of Fearful Symmetry. This book does not treat the poor Bennet’s kindly. As a family, they endure so much grief. Be prepared to read a Pride & Prejudice variation that vividly walks you through both physical and emotional loss, rips your heart apart, and then puts it back together. I have to say, that I truly enjoyed this Darcy. He really captures the true spirit of Austen’s Mr Darcy. Along the way, there are some fun twists on Austen’s quotes which brought a smile to my face. The characters are lively and quite enjoyable. This is a great variation!…

A Captain for Caroline Gray
Adventure on the high seas! What an exciting setting for a Regency Novel! Thank you for stopping in today to read an excerpt from A Captain for Caroline Gray by Julie Wright. Excerpt Captain Thomas Scott surveyed the strange man and woman who had boarded his ship. “It would mean ever so much to us,” the lady continued, “if you would be so kind as to place this package in the cabin of one of your passengers. She’s going to India as a bride for our son. Isn’t that ever so lovely?” Thomas tried to mask his disdain as the man attempted to hand him a parcel. “I am sorry,”…

The Earl’s Lady Geologist by Alissa Baxter
I have to admit- I 100% judged this book by the cover. The Earl’s Lady Geologist by Alissa Baxter has one of those couples on the cover that just melt your heart. Sigh. That lingering glance filled with love. It’s the very thing that makes perfect romances stories. Well, the cover did not disappoint. I adored this book. It has witty characters and a fast-moving and heart-wrenching plot. Even the secondary characters all feel as though they have a purpose. It captivated me from the first chapter to the last page. If you enjoy romance books that also send you down a rabbit-trail of historical research, this is the book…

Sons of Pemberley by Elizabeth Adams

I must admit, while I am reading more Austen fan fiction, I don’t think I had read a reimaging at this level -until Sons of Pemberley. Now, that I have read one I am in full support of more. First, let me start out by saying that every book I have read by Elizabeth Adams has been pure creative genius. This book is no exception! I hardly know what I expected going into it but I soon realized I was on a completely different pace -much to my delight. I’ve been racking my brain since I…
