Darcy Saga Series by Sharon Lathan
Darcy Saga #2
Darcy Saga 02 Loving Mr. Darcy
Sharon Lathan
From Publishers WeeklyThe second in Sharon Lathan's Darcy Saga (_Mr. & Mrs. Fitzwilliam Darcy_) fails on two levels. Readers new to Darcy and Elizabeth will be bored reading page after page about two paragons—he is a gracious and expert billiards player, she is an excellent manager of the household—while they go about their life, with the occasional dustup with Lady Catherine, all while awaiting the birth of their first child. Meanwhile, Austen lovers may well be insulted to read un-Austenesque conversations, scenes and goings-on. Either way, the brilliance of Austen is notably absent. Too often the day-in-the-life focus seems small, as do the couple's PG-13–level lusty thoughts and behaviors. Yes, it's romantic that in a break of Regency tradition they sleep in the same bed and make love often, but it's a lot of nothing after their 15th bout, as is suffering through Darcy hiding his erections from a jovial, knowing father-in-law-to-be. Austen's characters deserve far better than this. (Sept.) Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. ReviewIn true Jane Austen style, this story is filled with period details and witty dialogue... a very pleasant read! (Kay James Romance Reader at Heart 20090828) A refreshing and romantic continuation of a beloved novel! (Jennifer Whittenberg Awaiting Diana 20090828) The attention to details will leave readers with a firm memory of Sharon Lathan's talented writing, the characters -new and old- will leave you wanting more, and the everlasting love between Darcy and Lizzy will leave more than one reader swooning. (Bella McGuire A Bibliophile's Bookshelf 20090831) This is one of the most romantic take off on Pride and Prejudice that I have read. (Shoshana Ashley This Book For Free 20090831) If you are like me and love Pride and Prejudice sequels then this series should be on the top of your list - trust me! (Alaine Bucknall Royal Reviews 20090902) I really fell in love with Lathan's continuation of Elizabeth and Fitzwilliam's story. (Becky Rhodehouse One Literature Nut 20090902) Whether it's happiness, sadness or even at times a bit of anger, the emotions are vivid and pop off the page to affect the reader. This really helped to draw me in and hook me. (Cinnamon Brown A Journey of Books 20090911) Sharon really knows how to make Regency come alive. Her descriptions of people, places, and things suck you in and refuse to let you go. (Keira Gillet Love Romance Passion 20090911) It's actually quite nice to read this type of romance, hero and heroine together, having fun, taking care of hearth and home and anything else required of them – together. (Sandy Marlow The Good, the Bad the Unread 20090914) The way Ms. Lathan allows the relationship between Darcy and Elizabeth to evolve is wonderful and will surely induce a contented sigh from all romantics. (Marlene Once Upon a Romance 20090915) Sharon Lathan has done a wonderful job of giving Darcy and Elizabeth a very loving and intimate relationship. (Wendi Barker Wendi's Book Corner 20091008) Reading Sharon's continuing saga of Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth is enough to make my [Pride and Prejudice] fan-girl heart beat just a little bit faster. (Bridget Locke Good and Bad Books 20091013) Loving Mr. Darcy gives a deeper picture of Fitzwilliam Darcy in love - which Pride and Prejudice fans are sure to enjoy. (Gaby Lupus Starting Fresh ) A fantastic read... I highly recommend it and the others in Lathans' series. (Joanne Mosher The Book Zombie ) You'll enjoy Loving Mr. Darcy as long as you don't mind a little steamy romance! (Sabrina Cheeky Reads )
