WOW! What a delightful find. I got it when it was free but I would gladly pay for this one. $2.99 is a bargain.This book is so different from any other that I've read in this genre. I mean different in a good way. It has a lot going on and takes one rambling down many side roads but manages to stay interesting at the same time. Many new characters were introduced. For a book of this length, it does not seem to have much dialogue. Much of the story is told after the fact rather than as it happens. I don't usually like this, but it works here. Some of the original characters had such small roles one would need to know them going into the story.( i. e. Georgiana) Among the most interesting were Colonel Fitzwilliam and Caroline Bingley. And the Duke, oh my......to take on such a taboo subject in Regency England -  - brave lady!!! I don't think that I've seen this done more than a couple of times in the JAFF world and I read a lot. I must admit to getting a tad bored once or twice (mainly with Mr Collins) but not enough to distract me much from the story. There is no explicit sex at all.This is not a warm, fuzzy, feel-good love story as many in this genre are prone to be, but a beautiful, enduring love that remains constant and grows stronger over time. The book covers about 25 years - from the wedding through first grandkids being born.When I reached the end, I was left wanting more and more......... Would love to read of their travelsHope to see more from this talented author. Beautifully done!
