A Darcy Christmas

Again, all fanfiction stories put in proper book form. I enjoy all Lathan's stories and this one is actually an outtake/long epilogue for her 'Darcy Saga' series; snapshot of Darcy and Elizabeth's future together. Her inspiration is the 2005 version of P&P and the stories are sweet with some pg-13 sexy times. Her Darcy is the reserved in public, Mr Sensitive and passionate in private type and Elizabeth is very much the version given life by Knightley. Grange's stories are fair to very good for me (Mr. Darcy, Vampyre was a bit hokey), and Christmas Present (being the birth of D and E's first child) is a nice portrayal. Her Darcy is almost too joval, but it is a Christmas story after all. Her Elizabeth is a bit flat, but not extremely so. Eberhart is a good story teller and pretty true to the characters. The story takes the path of Darcy being unable to face Elizabeth after he saves Lydia and time slips by as he is frozen with pride and fear of any more rejection. The theme of A Christmas Carol works well with the struggles that Darcy had in P&P and this alternate version. All three stories are well written, feel-good holiday fare and Austen fans will not be disappointed when they add this book to their collection.
