Darcy on the Hudson - Two Five-Star Reviews

Janet Taylor at More Agreeably Engaged - 5 Stars
"On more than one occasion, I laughed out loud. I even had 'a little water' in my eyes on others. I loved this book, and I thank you, Mary Simonsen, for a good and rewarding read."

"One thing I love about Mary Lydon Simonsen is her attention to detail. Every time I open up one of her books I am transported to a time and place that I never knew that I never knew. For instance, I am a history buff and love war time stories. World Wars I and II are my favorites, but I have never contemplated what life was like in Great Britain during those times. I've really only heard these stories told from the American point of view. While reading 'Darcy Goes To War', I found myself constantly saying out loud (to my husband's irritation) "Huh!" and "Wow!" and "Gee Whiz!". The same is true for 'Darcy on the Hudson'. I learned so many things about the day to day lives of those living in 1811 New York that I hardly know where to begin. Its those day to day events, told in such a detailed yet easy manner that leave you with no question of how things transpired."

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
