Dreaming of Mr. Darcy
"...good, clean romantic fun...hilarity ensues. Connelly generously sprinkles both Austen and Shakespeare throughout this diverting tale, proving all's well that ends well." -Publiishers Weekly"...light and fun with a nice ensemble of characters. I particularly liked Gemma, and Adam was a sweetheart. This makes for some good chick lit, whether you're a Jane Austen fan or not." -Reader of Fictions"...a good book and an easy, fun read. I will definitely be checking out more of this author's work." -A Pocket Full of Books"...a very enjoyable read. It was interesting and well-paced, something that you don't always find with Brit-lit. I had read Ms. Connelly's earlier book in the trilogy "A Weekend with Mr. Darcy" so I knew I would enjoy this book. 5/5 stars" -"This was a cute story. Best Line: 'I gave him my heart , and he gave me a button.'" -My 5 Monkeys"Connelly creates characters that are lively and fun, and readers will love hanging around with them as they gossip, maneuver, and fall flat on their faces looking for romance." -Savvy Verse & Wit"Written with exquisite detail and engaging plot twists this series is a MUST for any Janeite who loves to read and longs to travel!" -Austenesque Reviews"Recommended read for those who enjoy lighthearted storylines, British culture, and, of course, Austen fans." -SOS Aloha"...filled with interesting characters, wonderful descriptions of Lyme Regis and the surrounding countryside, and enough miscommunication and misunderstanding to keep any reader turning its pages." -A Curious Statistical Anomaly"Connelly almost makes Lyme a character itself, and her love for Austen's final novel is very evident in the frequent mentions of the book's characters and scene locations... There were times of humor, family drama and of course delightful romance. And while there's a wink to the previous A Weekend with Mr. Darcy, this title stands on its own very well. Janeites (and Persuasion fans in particular) will enjoy this one, and I look forward to the third book in the collection, Mr. Darcy Forever." -Calico Critic"There are lots of romantic mishaps and misunderstandings in Dreaming of Mr. Darcy, certainly reminiscent of Austen's books. Connelly is fast becoming one of my favorite authors of modern-day Austen-inspired novels... Connelly uses original characters and plenty of humor to create lively new stories, and her love and respect for Austen's novels shines through." -Diary of an Eccentic"The author of A Weekend With Mr. Darcy has penned another dreamy novel for Janeites to swoon over... If you ever wished Jane Austen wrote a novel with both Mr. Darcy and Captain Wentworth, your wish has been granted! DREAMING OF MR. DARCY is an unexpected and delightful treat for anyone who has ever read and fallen in love with a Jane Austen novel." -Fresh Fiction"...a light, quick read that is good after a heavy novel, if you're looking for a funny diversion, or if you like contemporary Austen spin-off novels." -Library of Clean Reads"A delightful ode to all things Austen...If you pick up this novel, you'll fall in love with Connelly's characters, and her delicious prose. It's a fantastic escape from the everyday, and a step into the romantic seaside of Lyme." -Luxury Reading"All in all, a sweet fun story perfect for an afternoon... Plus now I need to read A Weekend with Mr. Darcy." -YA Book Nerd
