A Weekend with Mr. Darcy

fullDescription

Praise for Victoria Connelly:

"Witty and original" —The Romantic Novelists' Association

Of course she's obsessed with Jane Austen...

Surrounded by appalling exes and fawning students, the only thing keeping professor Katherine Roberts sane is Jane Austen and her personal secret love for racy Regency romance novels. She thinks the Jane Austen Addicts conference in the English countryside is the perfect opportunity to escape her chaotic life and finally relax... Then, she encounters a devilishly handsome man at the conference who seems determined to sweep her off her feet. Is he more fiction than fact? Or could he be the hero she didn't know she was looking for?

   • content: "A Weekend with Mr. Darcy I felt like I was taken on a tour of Jane Austen's Hampshire and able to see, feel, and hear all the wondrous things about that county first-hand. Victoria Connelly is an engaging and skilled story-teller and I am eagerly anticipating the next book in her trilogy, Dreaming of Mr. Darcy (The Perect Hero) due to be released January 2012.

And of course, what Austen spinoff doesn't have its own Lady Catherine de Bourgh - in this case, it's Mrs. Soames. A Weekend With Mr. Darcy by Victoria Connelly is a great romp in the English countryside with some gal pals and hot men that will make you giggle, squirm, and sit on the edge of your seat. A quick summer read that will have readers wondering if an Austen-filled weekend should be their next vacation.

5. • premium: False
   • source: Chick Lit Reviews
   • content: "All of the Jane Austen aspects and references were fantastic and Victoria Connelly must either really love Jane Austen to enthuse so much or is just a very, very good researcher. The purist in my hopes it's the former as it's a better story and the love for Jane Austen really does come off the pages. In fact it's so strong I'm sorely tempted to pick up a Jane Austen sometime soon so I can see what all the fuss is about! Victoria Connelly has managed to write another winner with A Weekend With Mr Darcy and I for one can't wait for the next book, of three, in the series"
6. • premium: False
   • source: Diary of an Eccentric
   • content: "Connelly has created a magical world for Janeites, where it is possible for an Austen-obsessed woman to find her Mr. Darcy or Captain Wentworth, which makes the whirlwind romances easier to swallow. Because when you read a book like this, you want to believe that love at first sight is possible - especially when it could be your very own Darcy or Wentworth. A Weekend With Mr. Darcy is a fun, though predictable, must-read for Austen fans looking for characters who are just like themselves. If you love Austen as much as I do, you'll find yourself nodding in agreement every time these characters open their mouths to say how and why they love Austen, her books, and all the films. Connelly is obviously one of us, and I can't wait to read the next two books in this trilogy about Jane Austen addicts.

   • content: "I thought this book was fantastically witty and makes a quick read (and it definitely put Connelly on my radar), but am I the only one who thinks we need less Darcy and more of Austen's other heroes in these sequels? I feel like we are OD-ing on Darcy lately. I'm ready for 'A Weekend with Captain Wentworth' myself... ;) Either way, I urge Austen fans to check this one out! 4/5.

      June 6, 2011
      Connelly’s meta-Austenian romance has little substance of its own. Katherine Roberts, an Oxford professor presenting at a conference, meets Warwick Lawton, but is unaware that he is also Lorna Warwick, a popular author of gothic romances and Katherine’s pen pal. Warwick knows who Katherine is, though, and he sets out to make her fall in love with him between sessions where conference attendees quote snippets of Austen’s novels. Meanwhile, Katherine’s friend Robyn Love is torn between a longtime boyfriend who finds Austen boring and a new love interest who‘s willing to read Pride and Prejudice. Connelly’s characters gush endlessly and tiresomely over Austen but have no substance of their own; Katherine and Warwick’s romance would be far more believable if they talked less about Lizzy and Darcy and more about themselves.
