Wow, you read a lot! I forgot to write that I finished Overheard as well and loved it too.

[Debbie]

That's funny! I skipped Overheard, too - actually read it several weeks ago but had forgotten to put it on my list at that time.

I kept almost finishing it. The ending of 5% took me several attempts to get through because I kept getting interrupted.

Whoa...2 away from your goal - fantastic! That will take no time. I am interested in the 4 and 5 star reviews you posted and will have to check them out...Love Lessons...sounds delicious.

[Sophia]

Great batch of books read, Talia. You're really on a roll with the Melanie Schertz books. :) I loved Wendi Sotis' Promises.


Woots, Debbie! Amazing numbers. You and your book budget sounds like me. I try to stick to books I already have or free or inexpensive, but sometimes...one just has to buy it. :)

[Erika]

[Sophia]

Oh yes, clipping right along.

Mmm, I'll have to check out Darcy's Continental Escape. Sounds exciting!

[Erika]

Sophia, though it had its usual grammatical errors, it was a unique variation and showed a less arrogant Darcy. I adored Lady Matlock, Col Fitzwilliam, Elizabeth, and Darcy!!!!

[Sophia]

Even better! Thanks, Erika!

[Erika]

They are younger than in canon. Darcy and Richard are just out of university their Grand Tour, and I beleive Elizabeth is only 18-19 y/o. So Darcy hasn't been inundated with the women of the ton yet!!!

[Sophia]

How fun! Now I'm curious what their younger selves will get up to. :)

[Erika]

All good, very mature for their age and circumstances!!

[Sophia]

It went on the list. :)

Are any of those high ratings?

[Erika]

Sheila I have them listed with my ratings in my YTD tracker.

[Debbie]

I saw lots of 4-star ratings in there. Yay you, Erika!

I am pretty sure I will. I love the idea behind the story. Thanks for the review.

Has anyone come across this story and/or do they have the link to it? Another Dawn by SusanJN
http://meryton.com/aha/index.php?show...

FYI, the complete story is posted at fanfiction.net, where Susan has the username sbarra..supposedly.

Sheila, I email you a PDF.

[Sheila]

Thank you...I did search for that on fanfiction but with no luck.

[Sheila]

Did you send that?

BTW: has anyone read "All That This Entails" by Noell S?

[Talia]

Sheila wrote: "Did you send that?

I haven't read it yet.

[Erika]

Sheila, I sent it to you.

[Sheila]

Sorry but it never arrived...odara7rox(at)rcn(dot)com ?

[Erika]

Sheila, I sent it again to that addy. Let me know if you get it.

[Claudine]

Erika and Sheila, can you please send me both of these stories? Thanks ladies!

[Sheila]

I will do so. And thank you, Erika, for re-sending that story. I did get it. I am now reading Promises by Wendi Sotis - heart wrenching...KU Selection.

CANNOT ADD OTHER UNTIL FIND LINK TO COMPLETED STORY - NOT COMPLETE ON AHA AND SO FAR CANNOT FIND ON FANFICTION

[Debbie]

Nicole, you are so ON it! Thanks!

[Sheila]

All That This Entails By Noell S http://www.dwiggie.com/derby/old_2009...

Try this

[Claudine]

Did you like this story Sheila?

[Sheila]

I have not yet read it. But it does look interesting from the skimming I did while copying it. Has anyone else read it? I am reading Promises (a long one) by Wendi Sotis. She wrote The Gypsy Blessing

[Nicole]

No, that is the one I added. I had link. The other one mentioned above, Another Dawn, is the one I cannot find complete version of on fanfiction.

I loved Promises.

[Sheila]

Yes, just finished - 5 stars for me. Will be posting my review later or tomorrow.

I really liked Promises.

[Claudine]

Now I must read II if you all enjoyed it so much!!

[Debbie]

I wish I was rating and writing reviews regularly when I read Promises. I know I read it twice and I know I really enjoyed it (just like all of Wendi Sotis' books), but it was back in 2013 and now I don't even remember the storyline! Guess that should go in my To Be Re-Read pile!

[Nicole]

I read in 2012. If you see my reviews, or lack thereof, you know I rarely actually leave one unless I have strong feelings one way or another or something very particular to say. I usually just rate. But mine said...

(rated 5 stars)
"The only way to describe Promises is… exquisite torture. I absolutely loved the author’s depiction of the William and Elizabeth in the beginning and was in agony throughout their separation. I have not had such a strong reaction to the angst of their relationship since the first time I read Abigail Reynolds’s Mr. Darcy’s Obsession or The Last Man in the World, which are favorites. Loved, loved, loved this! I have just purchased a Kindle, due to the bowing of my two bookshelves with P&P related novels, but I will have to buy this in paperback too."

@ Debbie - definitely worth a re-read!!!

[Nicole]

Man! now I want to re-read it, lol.

[Erika]

Nicole, I'm not sure you'll find the link for Another Dawn on Fanfiction.net. It looks like the author, Susan J Barra (sbarra, SusanJBarra, SusanJN, SusanGrace), took all of her stories off Fanfiction.net. I just looked cause I have a several of them on PDF. Sorry

[Sheila]

I just read Another Dawn, 56 pgs. I was not impressed. Not developed well. More like jottings for a story. Didn't take long to read but can't say that I would recommend it.

[Nicole]

@Erika - I am sending you a message

[Sheila]

OK, I will post review tomorrow. Thanks.

I bought a lot of Wendi's books from Smashwords about a year and a half ago when she was having a sale. Promises was one of them but it's been sitting on my Kindle ever since waiting for me to get around to it. Sounds like it needs bumping up the TBR list! I absolutely loved The Gypsy Blessing.

[Sheila]

The Gypsy Blessing is the only other one of hers I have read and since I enjoyed the two I read by her I must get to the others.

[Debbie]

Yippee! I'm officially allowed into "Mr. Bennet's Library" now!!!

100. To Capture Mr. Darcy: A Pride and Prejudice Variation Novel - 4 stars
101. North and South - 3 stars (Sophia- is this considered JAFF? I can see the similarity, but I'll pull it from my list if it doesn't meet others' criteria)
102. A Conversation Behind the Tapestries: A Pride and Prejudice Variation - 3 stars
103. The Road to Understanding: A Pride and Prejudice Vagary - 5 stars
