I'm so sorry, Janet...How did I miss your reply? I'm so sorry, Janet! You feel as I do with allowing modern times to alter that character of our hero and heroine. The world and it's influences can easily change us. I try to write as realistically as possible - but remembering - that this is still a romance novel. So while some may say "Love at first sight? Impossible!" I say "That's why I read and write romance." It's a delicate balance. Thank you so much and Merry Christmas, girlfriend!Cat Gardinerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13526063600354130161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5519391315473032614.post-16657101532513202622015-11-18T11:29:45.652-06:002015-11-18T11:29:45.652-06:00I remember your posts in the Hog Tour, Sylvia.

My, he is such an intense character and has such depth. Oh, I do wish he could give you a foot rub but I might have to have him give me one first!

I feel we always have to allow for how the world in which the characters live at the time of a book's plot, would actually affect or change them from their original counterparts. I think Darcy, in his being or essence, is very much like canon too. I should have said so in my review shouldn't I! I liked how you portrayed the characters and developed their personalities. It was very well done.Janet Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01904728146256943042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5519391315473032614.post-31467782788925636222015-11-18T11:16:14.205-06:002015-11-18T11:16:14.205-06:00Wasn't he quite the Darcy! :)Wasn't he quite the Darcy! :)Janet Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01904728146256943042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5519391315473032614.post-49481322919103484992015-11-15T10:00:46.700-06:002015-11-15T10:00:46.700-06:00I had fun with book as well.

I adore that you see some canon traits in our Lizzy in DoC. With only two sisters, and Jane bailing on her, to me it seemed a logical decision for her to do anything to keep Longbourn for her father. Especially, since she doesn't quite believe in romantic love. ;) I had such a blast on the Hog Tour and thank you for participating with all my other VPP friends! Darcy went to some exciting places, even Israel! I, too, am intrigued what giveaway surprise you have for one lucky lady visiting MAE. Thank you, again!!! See you for Villa Fortuna.
