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.
I have others of hers on my Kindle also. Some day....
99 LOVE LETTER OF MARY BENNET this is a so so book. It was nice hearing mary's thoughts but there was nothing else
I have read the last two and found them to be very good also. Congratulations on your progress.
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 D-Day by Karen Cox (unpublished) http://www.meryton.com/mrr/KarenMC/DD...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."
Lenora, welcome to Mr. Bennet's Level. Enjoy all the pleasures of the quiet... he had an extra thick door installed to block out the effusions of Mrs. Bennet.
says she with a smirk behind her hands.
102 Darcy Comes Undone: Elizabeth's Ruin103 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.
Lenora, that always ticked me off. When a story is divided into sections and priced that way. It is just wrong.
Sheila, #165... you are really moving right along.

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.

I will say that 4 of these were really short, but I don't make the length, I just read!! HA! If you have not ventured into modern P&P you may be missing out!!

What is the name of the compilation on KU? I have a subscription to that.

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.
105 Not an Heiress: A Pride and Prejudice NovellaI 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.

And I even reviewed all of these! Thanks, Sheila!
That is "double congratulations", then. You write such nice long and detailed reviews for all of us to read. Thank you.
Debbie you are amazing... like the others... double congratulations. Lenora, how are you liking the Mr. Bennet's Level? You are moving right along.
Sheila, you're passing me up girl. Way to go!!
Thank you for all your comments, J.W. We love you, too.
Yes, now that I'm hanging in Mr. B's library I see lots of you surrounded by piles and piles of books! Jeanne, Sheila, Sara, Lenora... Love checking out what everyone's reading. Some awesome books (and people!) in here!
Mod
Thanks guys. Y'all are the best. And... Sophia, you are the best 'Mod' ever. We couldn't do it without you.
Mod
Ah, shucks! Thanks, Jeanne. It's easy peasy with great people.
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.
Mod
And you are so right. Maria Grace is a terrific ambassador for JAFF and a classy lady.
I have now posted a review after buying the book.
Mod
Then you gave her two of the greatest gifts a reader can give an author- a purchase and a review. :) Now I need to trot over and read it to see what you have to say.

Awesome. I look forward to reading your reviews!
I am enjoying Mr. Bennet's library very much. Footmen keep our champain flowing and Mr. Bennet is hilarious
Excellent Lenora! So glad you are having a good time.
Mod
Oh, and not bad hitting 107 with your last reading.
