I was actually doubly lucky because I won it in paperback on Tamara's blog as well as in e-format here! I don't want to be greedy and have it in all formats, so maybe I could have the paperback and let the e-book go to another lucky winner? Many thanks again, and I can't wait to read it!!!Joana Starneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10150637735779894393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5519391315473032614.post-46281518627067879382014-08-26T23:36:41.009-05:002014-08-26T23:36:41.009-05:00Thanks so much, Suzan!

You see the "before and after" pictures, so to speak. It is greatly improved, I think. The better pacing we can applaud editor Gail Warner for. She's the best.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16662887772597035635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5519391315473032614.post-47484846872259829252014-08-26T23:31:13.435-05:002014-08-26T23:31:13.435-05:00Caroline does always manage to set a bad example. ...Caroline does always manage to set a bad example.

I don't much care for fluff, but this story was more than that--it had some decided angst on top of the love story. The human interactions within the Bennet family juxtaposed against the development of the deeper understanding and trust between E&D are really nicely done. Pace of the growing intimacy between the two is well-done, and as an author I know that's not always easy. L to L is a clever choice of a time which we haven't often explored in JAFF.

I too long to know what bad advice Mrs Bennet and Mrs Phillips gave to Jane and Elizabeth. And Caroline still doesn't give up her quest, has she? I think it's time for her to move on and find another suitor or risk getting disappointed on Darcy and Elizabeth's wedding day.<br /><br />evangelineace2020(at)yahoo(dot)comLúthien84https://www.blogger.com/profile/15390711363301378521noreply@blogger.com
