Romance Historical

In this lively second installment, the Darcys and Bingleys are plunged into married life and its many accompanying challenges presented by family and friends.

With Jane and Elizabeth away, Darcy and Bingley take on the daunting task of managing their two-year- old children. Mary Bennet returns from the Continent pregnant by an Italian student promised to the church; Darcy and Elizabeth travel to find the father, and discover previously unknown— and shocking—Darcy relations. By the time Darcy discovers that there's more than one sibling of questionable birth in the family, the ever-dastardly Wickham arrives on the scene to try to seize the Darcy fortune once and for all.

I'm sure I'll enjoy it !!! Count me in ...
(Joeelle Jappissont 4:07am July 24, 2009)

The story sounds fascinating!
(Joanne Reynolds 6:30am July 24, 2009)

Shades of the Beekeeper! I enjoy stories about old friends that I haven't visited in some time. Glad you put your extra time between graduate classes to good use :>)
(Karin Tillotson 9:01am July 24, 2009)

I don't know what I would do if I couldn't read!
Thanks for your contest and writing.

This sounds like a wonderful read! I'm an avid reader and just wouldn't know what to do if I couldn't. Best Wishes on your new book!
(JoAnn White 9:36am July 24, 2009)

Sounds great. :)
(Crystal Broyles 10:02am July 24, 2009)

I have a soft spot for Mary, so I would enjoy any story that featured her.
(Krysten Hager 10:03am July 24, 2009)

Since I haven't read the first book yet I have some catching up to do. I'd love to win. Thanks

My favorite character is Darcy. As far as I am concerned you can never have enough of his character explored. Mary would be another interesting character to explore.
(Cherie Japp 11:18am July 24, 2009)

Your character descriptions paint a good picture of what restrictions and morals Victorians revolved around.
(Alyson Widen 11:35am July 24, 2009)

The Plight of the Darcy Brothers sounds fantastic. I am sorry to say I have not read The Darcys and the Bingleys as of yet but I have both stories on my to buy list. I can't wait to go shopping and pick them up.
(Gayle Oreluk 12:33pm July 24, 2009)

Although I love Pride and Prejudice and love reading more about it, I would love to see something more of Emma. I just know her matchmaking ways did not end with Knightley coming to his senses.

(Margay Roberge 12:50pm July 24, 2009)

This sounds fascinating. Count me in. Have a great day.
(Roberta Harwell 2:25pm July 24, 2009)

Wow this looks great I look forward to reading it! I would love to hear more about Emma. Is that odd? oh well! Great job!
(Tabatha Basham 2:56pm July 24, 2009)

I agree - Darcy is such a fascinating character that there is some much more room to explore. Of course, I think that Emma has a lot of room for further development too.
(Liz Dranow 4:38pm July 24, 2009)

Looking forward to reading The Plight of the Darcy Brothers. Love all the great contests!
(Teresa Ward 4:54pm July 24, 2009)

Marsha, I have not read your first book, but I think that it would be an asset to follow the family escapades to the max. I love books that continue the story to the next generations.
(Rosemary Simm 5:30pm July 24, 2009)

These sound good!
(Teresa Warner 6:44pm July 24, 2009)

Pride and Prejudice was such a wonderful story I hated to see it end. Now I don't have to I can keep up with all the romance and drama with these new books.
(Rosemary Krejsa 10:05pm July 24, 2009)

Pride and Prejudice is one of my
favorite books. Jane Austen gives such
a feel for the time period in her books.
As you said, there was little women
could do during that time other than
looking for a husband then keeping
the home fires burning one she got
one. I'll have to think about the
characters and who I'd like to see more
of.
Both your books sound delightful.
When you love a book and the
characters, you hate to see their story
end. Four of the six of us who work at
our small library are Jane Austen fans.
I would love to win these books and
share them. I hope you continue this
series.
(Patricia Barraclough 10:47pm July 24, 2009)

The books certainly sound intriguing and since I love anything historical, I wouldn't at all mind being able to read them. So far, this is the first I've heard about this series and I wish you great success.
(Sigrun Schulz 12:25pm July 25, 2009)

I'm sorry. I haven't read the books yet in order to answer your question.
Have a great day!
(Elaine Seymour 9:25am July 25, 2009)

I stumbled across this website by accident and I am so thankful this happened. Your books sound very interesting. I've read a number of Austen "sequels." I've enjoyed some and disliked others. I look forward to reading your books. I just wish it was possible to know what the lady herself would think of the enduring quality of her work and her many, many fans.
(Judith Clonts 5:17pm July 27, 2009)

I haven't read Historical Romance in years, I don't know why I quit reading them, but yours sound good enough to draw me back.
