Karen Cox Takes Readers from the Courtroom to the Schoolroom with Sara Angelini When Christina snagged Sara Angelini as an author for The Darcy Monologues, I thought, “That’s one more stick of dynamite in an already explosively awesome project.” I first read Sara’s The Trials of the Honorable Fitzwilliam Darcy in its online incarnation several […]

Spindle by E.K. Johnston
April 5, 2017 by ·
Spindle by E.K. Johnston was one of my most anticipated novels of the year. I am a big fan of retellings. Spindle is a reimagining of Sleeping Beauty and it was done with such great imagination. With strong female character, this companion novel to A Thousand Nights can be read as a standalone.
The Darcy Monologues Edited by Christina Boyd
March 27, 2017 by ·
“You must allow me to tell you…” For over two hundred years, Jane Austen’s Mr. Darcy has captivated readers’ imaginations as the ultimate catch. Rich. Powerful. Noble. Handsome. And yet, as Miss Austen’s “Pride and Prejudice” is established through Elizabeth Bennet’s fine eyes, how are we to know what his tortured soul is indeed thinking? […]

I always have a hard time when I read JAFF that has Darcy or Elizabeth with another. I know it is ridiculous but that’s just the way it works in my heart. To pair Lizzie up with Mr. Collins had me crying and the story had just begun! Poor Elizabeth, in this awful situation married […]

Mr. Bennet’s Dutiful Daughter by: Joana Starnes
November 21, 2016 by ·
This variation was absolutely breathtaking! Mr. Bennet’s Dutiful Daughter was so well written, that it tugged on every single one of the heartstrings in my chest. The union of Elizabeth and Fitzwilliam was not as easy as we Darcy lovers would hope. Mr. Darcy has loved Elizabeth since the beginning and hearing him tell her […]
