Wonderful job, Sharon, I loved it! 5-Stars! Yes! Sharon gives us the Georgiana story and does a magnificent job. It is really interesting to get a look into the lives of very talented young women in the Regency era and how difficult it was for them to get the training they needed to become the great artist that was lurking inside them. Georgiana finds her perfect husband, but it was not all roses. This book is still an integral part of the Darcy series and contains even more of the lives of the Darcy family. Remember that Georgiana is still a very important part of the Darcy household. I highly recommend this journey with Georgiana. (Arkansas Austen Fan)
Wow, What a Wonderful Romantic Book! 5-Stars! This is what I call romance!! It is a sequel to the Austen classic, and it tells the story of Darcy's sister Georgiana and her first experience as a woman who has the first taste of independence and experiences her first love. The characters are realistic and well developed, and the writing is very appropriate for the time period. As the main characters develop their feelings for each other, we are transported into the intense sensations that come from the dialogues and the chaste looks and touches that fill this book's pages. I found myself completely enthralled into the story and the romance is oh, so sweet. I was captivated from beginning to end. One to read over and over!! (Ciotiziana)
Loved this book! 5-Stars! How wonderful to read a truly unique story of Georgiana Darcy! So well written, fluid and moving, this book is a welcome addition to my library! (Angie R)
I absolutely loved it from start to finish... 5-Stars! This book perfectly catches the character Georgiana! I absolutely loved it from start to finish and will read it again soon! Wonderful book by a wonderful author! (Lori)
I was given this book as a gift and I absolutely loved it. 5-Stars! The writing was fast moving without feeling like it was being rushed. The characters were true to Austen's originals. I have read a couple of JAFF where they take the character and turn them into something completely different which I am not fond of. These are the characters we fell in love with in a different situation. I highly recommend Sharon Lathan. (Danielle)
Love finally finds Georgiana! It is a wonderful continuation of one of my all time favorite series. You’ll be falling in love with Mr. Butler and forgetting all about dreamy Mr. Darcy. {if only for the moment!!} Their love of music and the city of Paris create a wonderful backdrop.
This story was so sweet. 5-Stars! Georgiana Darcy truly makes a marvelous heroine. Out of her brother’s watchful shadow, she is just beginning to stretch her wings, and where better to accomplish that than in the City of Lights? She makes many delightful new friends, including the musical, handsome Sebastian Butler. And that is all it is at first: a warm, treasured friendship. Watching it develop into more was a pleasure. As in all of the best romances, there are things standing in their way. In the case of
Miss Darcy Falls in Love, their main obstacles are themselves. They both make mistakes and there are foolish misunderstandings that make me shake my head at their mutual silliness. It was lovely. Poor Lord Caxton really didn’t stand a chance. I really liked the depth of Sebastian Butler as a character. You can really get to know him, to understand and respect him. He’s a little older, a little more experienced than Georgiana, reminding me of Mr. Knightley. Georgiana is sweetly naive, but that hardly slows her down. She’s the sort of character who might get momentarily confused on her path, but when she makes up her mind she is a force to be reckoned with. This is a must for anyone who has read Sharon Lathan’s Darcy Saga, but even if you haven’t read any of her other books you should give this one a try.
I fell in Love with Miss Darcy!!! 5-Stars! This is definitely my favorite book by Sharon Lathan!! The story starts out while Georgiana is in Europe. She meets up again with a Mr Butler who she previously met in London during her coming out. Mr Butler shares a love of music with Georgiana and they become fast friends. Georgiana is thrown into the social culture in France and is having a great time. Meeting new friends and possible suitors. This is where the story gets intriguing and has lots of angst. Georgina does not know her own heart yet. Who should she choose? There’s a tall dark and handsome Baron who would be perfect. All the other ladies swoon for his attentions. The story is wonderfully written and I felt like I was immersed in France listening to wonderful music. Definitely worth reading!! (Charlene)
Magnifique!!! 5-Stars! WOW I absolutely loved this exquisite book!! I could not put it down until I was finished! I have loved Sharon’s novels since her very first (
Mr & Mrs Fitzwilliam Darcy). I can easily say that each one she delivers is even better than the last! In
Miss Darcy Falls in Love right from the very beginning the lush and sensuous descriptiveness of Lyon, Paris and its inhabitants had me spellbound. I love Europe and I love music so the combination of these elements along with Sharon’s wonderful romantic touch made for a perfect story! The attention to detail is immaculate and thus transports me to the very scene which I am reading. This is so true that at one point I was speaking to Georgiana because her response to Lord Caxton had me so fired up! I love the way Sharon has developed Georgiana’s character (throughout all her novels) culminating in this exquisite story! There is no character or scene that Sharon leaves lacking. Each character has such a great backstory that it is hard to imagine they are not real. I am always in awe of Sharon’s genius. I love Sebastian Butler, Sharon has chosen/created the perfect husband for the beautiful Georgiana. The inclusion of Lord Caxton was such a great idea, sending my emotions into a turbulent spin! The mad rush to find Sebastian had me on the edge of my seat! But thankfully as always Sharon produced a wonderful ending to a perfect historical romance. Even though I could never have imagined Georgiana having her own story, I now wish to read more about her time with Sebastian and their lives at the Conservatoire de Musique in Paris! Bravo Sharon on a magnificent novel. (Vee)
Loved this book! How wonderful to read a truly unique story of Georgiana Darcy! So well written, fluid and moving, this book is a welcome addition to my library!
Love Miss Darcy! 5-Stars! I’ve always loved Sharon’s Darcy Saga so was very excited to read this and see more of Georgiana. Like another Darcy we know, the road to true love is never smooth. Georgiana pursues her love of music in Paris and once again meets Mr. Sebastian Butler, the Viscount Nell, who is fellow musician whom she met at a ball held at Darcy House in London. She also meets the intriguing Lord Caxton. The story follows Georgiana’s adventures in France and her journey to love. Which of the two suitors does she decide between – read and find out! (Miss Meg)
Must Have Book! Must read for Pride and Prejudice lovers! The expansion of Georgiana’s character is done so well, I felt as though I know her. The story was wonderful adding new characters to the mix and continuing the lives of all the Darcy families. Wonderfully written descriptions as well. I feel as though I was there! Highly recommend this book!
Great writer. 5-Stars! I do so enjoy Sharon Lathan’s writing. Good story line, believable romantic interludes, very tastefully written with not profanity or vulgar phrases. I highly recommend Ms. Lathan’s writing style. (Murph)
Georgiana finds happiness, and well deserved! 5-Stars! Georgiana Darcy finds herself in a tough spot while she and her relatives travel through Europe and Paris. Sharon Lathan writes a compelling story where Georgiana’s character is true to the spirit of Jane Austen’s depiction of Georgiana in
Pride and Prejudice. The man that Georgiana falls in love with is a kindred spirit and soulmate. The story is written from the point of view of both Georgiana and her beau. It is so intense and sweet to read, and very satisfying at the end when the couple is married in front of their family, including Darcy, Elizabeth and many others! (California Reader)
Georgiana’s story finally revealed. 5-Stars! I loved this book as much as I have loved all of the other Darcy books written by Sharon Lathan. I feel as if I am there with the characters and interacting with them. Seeing Miss Darcy emerge from a timid and shy girl and grow into a talented and beautiful woman was very entertaining. Sebastian Butler as her friend and eventual mate was exciting and enchanting. I cannot wait until her book about Dr. Darcy is released! Write faster Sharon! (Mummer)
Love the newest book from Sharon! 5-Stars! Love this book! Read from front to back in a couple of days it was such a fun read. Sharon always puts much research into her books but this one definitely goes way above and beyond. There is so much to take in and the reader is literally transported from the black and white pages of the book to Paris and Lyons, into ballrooms, into intimate conversations between blossoming lovers, into Georgiana’s torn heart of hearts as she debates a dilemma of a lifetime that has you guessing until the end! But Sharon executes a wonderful ending that had me cheering Georgiana on as she stands up for herself in the name of love. I loved the details of a bygone era, one of which Georgiana is so brave to enter into by taking her love of music into a public arena. I too wondered if I would like reading a story on Georgiana alone without our beloved Lizzy and Darcy intertwined but it turns out I SO loved it. The characters are richly developed and I learned to love Georgiana even more and in her own right as a young, intelligent, beautiful woman. Such a wonderful book and now that I read it I love how we now know the rest of Georgiana’s story! (Hava Meronk)
A must read!! 5-Stars! Sharon Lathan does it again! Here is another must read that should be on everyone’s list! Mr. Darcy has a younger sister, and why shouldn’t she fall in love as well? She does, but which gentleman does she pick? I couldn’t read it fast enough to find out! Again, a must read!!
Great book. 5-Stars! Very interesting take on Georgiana Darcy, much like her brother and Lizzy her romance with Sebastian is filled with misunderstandings and stubbornness. I would have liked to see her interact a little more with her family since she is such a shy and family oriented person, but it was a good story nonetheless. I hope to get more of the Darcy family as well and the new Butler family from Sharon Lathan.
This was a beautiful and eloquently written piece of work, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. 5-Stars! The agony between the two main characters is almost palpable and I felt for them both. The second to last scene is a bit risque but was classy and appropriately sweet and sexual. It was like reading chocolate. I admire the control the author has in balancing detail while maintaining a sense of propriety. Lovers of Jane Austen will adore this novel! (Liz)
Pride and Prejudice continues, thank goodness! 5-Stars! Sharon Lathan's continuation of
Pride and Prejudice is a joy to read. I have enjoyed each and every book in her series. Georgiana's story is fitting and delightful. Hopefully, there are more books to come. (Judy Blumenthal)
A Happy Ending for Georgiana! 5-Stars! I am a real fan of Ms. Lathan's work and this one does not disappoint. Don't expect a lot of Darcy and Lizzie in this one, it is truly focused on Georgiana and it's nice for her to have her voice heard. It deserves a five for being a lush representation of the era. I was also thrilled to see a little bit of a spoiler in the end of the book for an upcoming one. Thanks Ms. Lathan for another fabulous book! (Running Shoe Girl)
Loved it!!! 5-Stars! I so much enjoyed this book. I was eagerly waiting for it release and I was not disappointed. Sharon Lathan's writing puts you right into the story. I've become a huge fan of her books and I can't wait for more. (Erica B)
Great fun! 5-Stars! I loved this book. It's nice to see the background on some of the characters you've grown to know & love from Austen's
Pride and Prejudice. It's wonderful! (Maureen Ninteman)
Wonderful! 5-Stars! As usual, Sharon Lathan wins me over with her writing. Great, entertaining book. A great rendition and honor to Jane Austen. (D. Hughes)
Another amazing Lathan book! 5-Stars! This is another amazing continuation of Jane Austen's classic
Pride and Prejudice!! I could not have enjoyed more. Looking forward to what Sharon Lathan can come up with from here. (Shannan T)
Enjoyed a Love Story that had many challenges. 5-Stars! A great love story that appeared to be two people who were meant for each other but took a very long time to realize it. I enjoyed this story very much. (Idy G)
Lathan's versions are by far my favorite. 5-Stars! I stumbled upon Lathan's first book
Mr. and Mrs. Fitzwilliam Darcy Two Shall Become One many many years ago in Target and I fell in love.
Pride and Prejudice is my all time favorite book and I guess I was living under a rock I never knew that there were all these authors who took the characters and ran with it. Since I have read every one of Lathan's books as soon as they've come out and I've never been disappointed. I love how she has branched out to include the lives of others who are very much loved by William and Lizzy. I have read many other continuation novels but Lathan's versions are by far my favorite. (aacmama)
A very sweet story. 4-Stars! I am a real fan of Sharon Lathan but I must admit I hesitated quite a while before I bought this book. I was not sure whether or not the story of Georgiana alone would hold my attention for a whole book. I really did enjoy her story – seeing her mature and gain confidence in herself and her talent. It was lovely to see her meet a man who not only shared her passion for music but also was willing to combine his talent with hers. (Heddie)
5-Stars! 5-Stars! 5-Stars!
I've read this series so many times I know it by heart and can quote it. These books draw you in so thoroughly its as if you are Elizabeth's intimate friend. (Wendy)
I have read all of the Sharon Lathan series books about the Darcys and loved each and every one. I hope she writes more of them so that I can see what happens to them in later life. (di)
OMG! I love Sharon Lathan. As a fellow Austen junkie, I found her books by accident. She does the research, grows the relationship and just makes it seem like Jane Austen is in the 21st century. (Megan)
I love
Pride and Prejudice and have read all the book after and just can't get enough. This is a must read. (Cammie Royce)
I really enjoy reading Jane Austen Inspired novels, and have loved the series Sharon Lathan has created and expanded upon based on
Pride and Prejudice. I eagerly await the coming of the next one in her series. (Maine Marmee)
I enjoyed this book greatly. Sharon Lathan is a wonderful writer. Picks up where Jane Austen's book left off. I would recommend all of the Sharon Lathan books to any and all Jane Austen fans. Beautiful writing style. (Trisha M)
I enjoyed reading this book. Mrs. Lathan did it again. (Phyllis Swain-Taylor)
Wonderful! What a delightful story! I loved it! Even Georgiana got her happy ever after too! (Cindie Snyder)
Great book. Sharon Lathan captures your attention so well you feel like it is about real people and want to know what happens next. (sweety ank)
