I still need to try one of her books in her Mr. Darcy mystery series. One more down even if it was a so-so one.

Sheila Majczan (sheilalmajczan) | 1301 comments 164.) D-Day by Karen Cox (unpublished) http://www.meryton.com/mrr/KarenMC/DD...
"This is a modern adaptation of Pride& Prejudice, set in the Bluegrass region of Kentucky. William Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet meet under false circumstances set in motion by her sister, Lydia. A whirlwind romance ensues, complete with mistaken identities, sometimes-difficult family members, and inevitable misunderstandings."

103 Darcy Comes Undone: Elizabeth's Regret

104 Darcy Comes Undone: Elizabeth's Redemption


These were only 3 star reads mainly because of th endings. The next book in line started with a complete retelling of the last chapter of the previous book, word for word. This would have maid 4 star read if it had been one book

I hate this trend to put out 1/4 of a book and charge 4 times to get one story! Especially like this with only 41 pages/book.

Library Robbery!

OK, so four books at what? $2.99 per book so you pay $12 for a complete kindle book - robbery.

J. W. Garrett (jeannewallacegarrett) | 1166 comments Lenora, that always ticked me off. When a story is divided into sections and priced that way. It is just wrong.

I agree. Though, once I started that and then found a "compilation" of them was available for FREE with my Kindle Unlimited subscription. I quickly asked for refunds and just read the free version. Just release as a collection or not at all. So annoying.

Good work. I did read and enjoyed the Rock Star one even tho' the title is a bit off-setting.

All three books for $8.97 - still pretty steep and it was not under KU when I checked on Amazon.

Lenora Robinson | 174 comments 105 Not an Heiress: A Pride and Prejudice Novella

I recieved this book free as a member of her page Leenie's Sweetie's and I really enjoyed it. this is a sequel to Discovering Mr Darcy. It is amazing to find I like Lady Catherine in this and that she had a sense of humor.

Sheila Majczan (sheilalmajczan) | 1301 comments 169.) If only I had Learnt 4.5 stars https://www.fanfiction.net/s/7568583/... I read this over 2 days as an unpublished book by Maria Grace. She then published it and it is available at: https://gumroad.com/mariagrace Where you determine what you want to pay for it. I wanted to read the unpublished book to determine how much to pay for the book. She kept the unpublished version up at the request of some of her readers. Maria Grace does so much for the JAFF community with all the research and free chapters she posts online that I think it is only fitting that I pay for a book even after having read it. The book was a very good read and I am sure others would enjoy it also.

Elizabeth believes herself not a true lady and thus unworthy for any man to marry. Mom is dead and Dad is blind. E. manages the estate.

Sophia (sophiarose) | 911 comments Mod
That does sound good, Sheila.

And you are so right. Maria Grace is a terrific ambassador for JAFF and a classy lady.

LOL, Lenora! It really is a splendid place to get away and relax, right? Sit with some friends, read some books, and get excellent service from the staff. :)

Oh, and not bad hitting 107 with your last reading.
