Pemberley's Christmas Governess Giveaways for November-December 2021

The Jane Austen fan fiction genre has grown over the years thanks to the early contribution of prominent pioneers. One of them is Regina Jeffers who released The Mistress of Rosings Park last year. The prolific Austen Authors co-founder is back with a new Pride and Prejudice vagary which she is eager to share with loyal followers. Pemberley's Christmas Governess marks her twenty-eighth Austenesque published story in a career spanning more than ten years.

In this holiday-themed Regency novel, Elizabeth Bennet did not encounter Fitzwilliam Darcy but she rejected Mr Collins's proposal. Then her beloved father died forcing her to accept the position of a governess to alleviate her family's financial situation. Meanwhile Mr Darcy is a widower with a young daughter named Cassandra Anne. He married his cousin Anne de Bourgh but she did not live long. What happens when two lonely souls meet during the Christmas season but cannot be together as she is engaged to his cousin?

Thank you, Lúthien84, for participating in my blog tour and for allowing me to be your guest today. Shakespeare says " A rose by any other name would smell as sweet. " But can you imagine the flower we know as the rose being called a stinkweed? Would the stinkweed be famous for its sweetness or would its very name make us shy away from taking a whiff? And what about book titles? Does the name draw you in or turn you off? Would A...

The Lizzie Bennet Diaries

Have you heard of The Lizzie Bennet Diaries which debuted on the web a couple of months ago? I think you should check it out as it is a relatively new concept that has not been fully explored on any Jane Austen's novels.

Mr. Darcy and the Secret of Becoming a Gentleman: Book Review

Rating: ★★★★★/★★★★★ After enduring a not very likeable Austenesque fiction in Karen V. Wasylowski's Darcy and Fitzwilliam which was reviewed several months ago, I was a little wary of reading any Austen-themed novels which caught my fancy because of its beautifully designed covers. After my colleague recommend me to try Maria Hamilton's debut novel, I made up my mind to read it next. It proved to be a wise choice for I spend many hours perusing this delightful Pride and Prejudice what-if story. Mr. Darcy and the Secret of Becoming a Gentleman begins after Fitzwilliam Darcy's disastrous marriage proposal to Elizabeth Bennet in Hunsford Parsonage, Kent. After thinking over her reasons for refusing him, Darcy decides to take her reproves to heart and tries to correct the mistakes that he committed in his past although unintentional done. Foremost on his mind is to try and salvage his friend, Charles Bingley's relationship with Jane Bennet and act in a manner wort...
