In the Arms of Mr. Darcy

ReviewThe daily life in large manor houses is amazing for modern readers to contemplate, and Lathan does an excellent job of outlining what such a daily routine consisted of. (_Booksie's Blog_ 20101011) This book stays true to Austen's writing style and her vision of these characters. (_Palmer's Picks For Reading_ 20101011) A titillating, yet amorous look into the privileged lives of England's gentry as they travel back and forth from countryside estates to the London "seasons" of society, with all the protocol, pomp and circumstance that comes with the responsibilities of their positions. (_Historical Novel Reviews Blog_ 20101011) Jane Austen would approve of this depiction of her characters; Austen fans will continue to love them, as well... (_Everything Victorian and More_ 20101011) Lathan continues to bring the Regency period to life... I was swept up by the romance. (_Rundpinne_ 20101013) What is constant is the love Darcy and Lizzy feel for each other... it is heartwarming. (_The Book Girl of Mur-y-Castell_ 20101018) There is something so fanciful and romantic about Sharon Lathan's depiction of Darcy and Elizabeth... This happy, romantic couple is at no loss of love or happiness in the novel to keep any reader sighing along with them. (_One Literature Nut_ 20101020) Lathan's genius is to spin the everyday occurrences of married life into a page-turner. In a world full of strife, this book full of happiness is a treat for all. (_Linda Banche Romance Author_ 20101021) A great read. There was plenty of affection between Lizzy and Darcy... (_Books Like Breathing_ 20101025) Ms. Lathan's writing is lyrical and perfect for this genre... Jane Austen would be proud to read how her characters have flourished, lived, and loved in this continuation of her beloved story. (_The Good, the Bad and the Unread_ 20101025) Engaging, fast paced and searingly romantic, I highly recommend reading In the Arms of Mr. Darcy if you're a true Lizzie and Darcy fan. (_Austenprose_ 20101026) This is a book of heartfelt love, romance and passion and every time I read one of Sharon's books I get swept away in all the moments that make you just sigh. (_Queen of Happy Endings_ 20101029) I love how Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth have a passionate and true love for each other in the novel. (_Laura's Reviews_ 20101101) Sharon Lathan has done a great job with this series. I've read all four books and I have not been disappointed. (_To Read or Not to Read_ ) A pleasant, ambling stroll with the characters of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. (_The Calico Critic_ ) Intimate, humorous and revealing. (_Kelli Crowe's Blog_ ) Sharon shows great care to detail in this and all of her books. She's given us a great, romantic love story about two happily married people.
