Amazon Review for Darcy Goes to War

I loved this book. It was well written as you would expect from the genius that is Mary Lydon Simonsen.
I loved the detail in the book and the locations used. I would have loved to see Elizabeth see Pemberley for the first time and meet Georgiana. The other sisters were well developed and it was good to see another side of them. Darcy and Elizabeth's relationship was beautifully developed and the real danger that the bomber pilots faced really came across as well as the hardships faced by the women left behind. The little trips they made really made me want to find the love that they share. I would love to see a sequel to it.
Mary Lydon Simonsen is one of my favourite authors and will remain so for many years to come. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves a twist on that classic story. (5 Stars)

I loved reading about the history of the families and how it was woven into the story. I felt right at home reading about Sonia and her family. It reminded me so much of my childhood growing up in the South and I found myself laughing out loud when reading about the one room no one was allowed to sit in with the plastic on the furniture and having to have a mediator at funerals. - C.

Sonia Amundsen is a likable and feisty heroine, who is starting to think she isn't going to find her perfect man. It's not a predictable path to love and I really I loved the romance. The Second Date is an engaging picture of a close knit and vibrant group of friends and family in a community that has its share of fun, food, chaos and craziness. I found it a fascinating peek into the complexities and pressures of their lives and romances. It has depth and insight into the things in our pasts, our lives and families that make us who we are, with warmth, humour and realism. - Portia ...more
