Guest Post Thanks, Lúthien84, for having me as your guest today, on the blog tour for my newest book, The Darcy Legacy . I have often wondered how Elizabeth and Mr Darcy's courtship would have evolved, were it not for that ill-judged and so ungentlemanlike ' She is tolerable, I suppose...

What if Mr Darcy did not hurt Elizabeth's feelings and her pride at the Meryton assembly — and if he did blunder, it was in a way that she co...

Are you ready for a long needed vacation from daily life? Would you like to experience a short holiday touring Regency London at its finest? Now you can with the recent publication of London Holiday written by none other than Nicole Clarkston. If you aren't convinced, take a peek at the vignette that she has specially penned for this ninth stop in this blog tour. Over to you, Nicole! Mr Bingley does not feature as a primary character in London Holiday until almost the end. When he does appear, however, Darcy recognises at once that introducing him to Elizabeth Bennet's elder sister could prove advantageous for everyone. This is a drastic alteration in Darcy's thinking, for earlier in the book Darcy was nervous when hearing about all the single women in Hertfordshire, just waiting for a single romantic like Bingley to light in their midst. By the end of the book, Darcy has reassessed his opinions and his actions show it. We only got a brief glimpse of Fitzwilliam Da...
