My rating: 4 of 5 stars

As a Jane Austen fan, I’ve read my fair share of inspired stories, many of which have been about our fair Georgiana Darcy. This one was at the top of my list of favorites. It was a short read but I greatly enjoyed it. The writing style made it seem as if it was written by Miss Austen herself, which can’t have been easy, since not many others have pulled it off. I don’t recall reading this particular author before, but I will definitely be reading more from her in the future, and if you are a fan of Jane Austen, this short and sweet read will not be a disappointment.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I am a huge fan of Jane Austen and the Pride and Prejudice story. This novelette did not disappoint me at all. It was fun to travel back to Pemberley and revisit the beloved characters. I always liked Georgiana’s character and wanted more of her story. It is fun to follow the shy, hesitant girl as she asks her brother’s help to find a suitable husband after her less than satisfactory experience with Mr. Wickham. It is a very quick read (56 pages) and is a nice, cozy break from reality. I recommend this book and this author!

This novella was well written and a fun quick read. TL Clark’s mastery of the dialogue and demeanor of the time period makes this novella come alive. I felt like I was in the room with Miss Georgiana and her family when welcomed guests to their home. Will Miss Georgiana be able to live a peaceful and happy life? I want to read more to know. Highly recommend!

This was a very good and quick read. The story is of Georgiana and meeting possible suitors and it is a look into thoughts one could have if ever in a similar situation of that era.

So interesting to read about the adventures these characters have as they get to all know one another and try to find a love match in the process.

The wording of the story and how people respond to one another are telling of the era and I found this to be a very lovely story. I enjoyed the Optional Epilogue at the end as well… very steamy and well written.

What a fun continuation of one of the greatest books of all time. I always wished there was more to the Bennett family, to see how Lizzy’s other sisters faired as well as Georgiana. This book is a nice dream, I would also like to think the Darcys and Bingleys had many children together and were so happy. It was nice to see Georgiana interested in someone especially after her dealings with Mr. Wickham. The steamy scene at the end was a nice treat.

Miss Georgiana Darcy’s Quest For Love: A Pride And Prejudice Variation Novelette by T.L. Clark
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Miss Georgiana Darcy’s Quest for Love is a novelette that takes place following the events of Pride and Prejudice. I would say it will be more enjoyable and easier to follow for readers who have read or watched Pride and Prejudice and are already familiar with the characters and their backstories. It’s a charming romance that follows Georgiana’s and her family’s attempts to find her an appropriate suitor.

This is an enjoyable read for fans of Pride and Prejudice who want to imagine what the future could hold for Georgiana. We catch up with many familiar characters and meet new ones as the Darcys host a party to connect with local families.

For me, this is a four star read. It’s a fun, short book that I could see readers adding on to the end of their Pride and Prejudice reread/rewatch.

This book is a great short story, set in the world of Pride and Prejudice. This story looks at Georgiana, and what happens after her unfortunate tale with Mr. Wickham. I thought the author did a great job at creating a new addition to this world. It was in keeping with the era and, although short, still managed to pack a lot into the book.
I really enjoyed the characters too. They were well portrayed and interesting to read about. I found myself becoming invested in them for the whole story. This is a great book to read and a great addition to the series.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I’m going to start by saying Pride and Prejudice is one of my favorite books. And because of that I will always read any kind of spin off type book I ever come across no matter how good or bad they may be. Miss Georgiana Darcy’s Quest for Love is a sweet short story giving the reader time to catch up with where the characters could potentially be now.
The author gives us exactly what one might be looking for going into this type of book. It pays homage to the original with little nuggets here and there about where they are now.
Georgiana is ready to find a husband. However with how shy and reserved she is she asks her brother and Lizzy to figure it out. It’s never an easy task but when her brother decides to throw a party. And is overbearing being extra scrutinizing to any potential candidate.
Who will Georgiana choose?
Do , the gentleman make the decision easy for her?
It being a short story one can only reveal so much before it’s too much. I hope everyone who comes by this story sits down and reads it. Its something to be enjoyed!

Miss Georgiana Darcy’s Quest For Love: A Pride And Prejudice Variation Novelette by T.L. Clark
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Miss Georgiana Darcy’s Quest For Love, a Pride and Prejudice Variation Novelette, is part of the Love Through The Ages Series. However, it is a standalone story that can be thoroughly enjoyed without reading the other series. The story is set after the end of Pride and Prejudice; we see Georgiana looking for a love match. I won’t get into the story’s plot because this is short.
The author kept to the tone and characters of Austen’s original story. If you enjoyed the Darcys, this is an excellent getaway to get more insight into Georgiana. I wanted a different look at the story and for the author not to hit at other stories that tried to elaborate on what happens next to the characters. Often, Georgiana isn’t considered as the focus of the story. I have enjoyed this story and others by this author.
I look forward to reading more from them in the future.

Miss Georgiana Darcy’s Quest for Love is a interesting take from Pride and Prejudice that is a novelette, short version. This historical romance brings to life for Georgiana Darcy to find the love she is seeking. With some help…trying to find one’s true love can be challenging.

This was a good read and I enjoyed a variation if Georgiana can find happiness after the fall-out with Mr. Wickham. Some parts were a bit slow, but otherwise I do appreciate this unique story. I loved having the characters included in this story that I love about Pride and Prejudice.

This very quick-read novelette features one of the Pride and Prejudice characters that Ms. Jane Austen wrote about. Georgiana is looking for love and a house party ensues to find her a suitable partner.

This book is so short that it’s hard to say much more about it without giving away any parts. I did find it a bit difficult to get into but once I did finally “get in the groove”, it was almost over. It’s an enjoyable read but not a favorite of mine.

This Pride and Prejudice variation novelette is a captivating historical romance. Having been compromised by the wicked Mr Wickham, Miss Georgiana Darcy has been living with her brother and his family at Pemberley. Although content she would like her own happy marriage like her brother and Lizzy have. Whilst Lizzy enjoys playing matchmaker, Mr Darcy keeps a watchful eye on any potential suitors. Georgiana must discover if any of them can be trusted. This is a very short read but full of wonderful characters and an intriguing storyline based on a Jane Austen classic. I liked the optional epilogue which contained some marital bedroom scenes. The Regency era was brought to life as was Pemberley through the descriptive narrative. Although part of a series it is a standalone story.

Miss Georgiana Darcy’s Quest For Love is T. L. Clark’s interesting version of one of the characters from A Pride and Prejudice. It is a very short tale but an intriguing tale even if it was a little slow to get into.
This drama filled historical romance tale is set in Regency times. It is the story of Miss Georgiana Darcy whose reputation is in tatters and gossip is rife in the Ton. Trust has been destroyed; hope is but a dream. She was young, vulnerable, naive and beautiful and found trouble, lies, deceit and heartache. I found myself drawn into the story, to Georgiana’s plight and her life. At least she had Lizzy to help her along.
Take a journey to a different time where women were on the market for a good match as deemed by others was a given. A time when women didn’t inherit. A time where status and standing meant everything.
Will Lizzy find someone who cares for her wellbeing to find true love? Or will she be forever shunned due to her mistakes?

Miss Georgina Darcy’s Quest for Love
By TL Clark

This a very quick read, this novella has four chapters and has been well written. I give it a 4-star rating.
This book is set in the era where if young girls’ virtue were compromised, it was intended that they would marry the man who compromised them. How ever for Georgiana this did not happen. After she was comprised by Mr Wickham, Georgina did not think that she had much chance of ever getting married. Her brother took Georgianna to live with him and his family. She gets on well with her brother and wife and loves their children. Georgiana wished for her brother and his wife to find her a husband. Lizzy approached her husband, and they decided upon a house party to try and find her a husband of good standing. When Lt Montfort met Georgiana, he was quite taken with her, and she brightened his day. But when he finds out she had been compromised would he still want to be near her?

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

3 – 3.5 Stars

Miss Georgiana Darcy’s Quest For Love is the fourth book in the Love Through the Ages series by T.L. Clark. It is a very short (56pages) regency/historical romance, being a variation to the classic, Pride and Prejudice, this has all the angsty drama you might expect from such a story.
At only 56 pages long, I won’t go into the storyline here as I don’t wish to spoil anything for you, as the blurb does a great job of letting us know what to expect. Miss Georgiana Darcy Quest For Love comes with some complications, but what does fate have in store for her future? The epilogue was a great little bonus…
The dialogue, scene setting, and whole ‘atmosphere’ of the story was crafted to be in keeping with the times, and Ms. Austen’s ‘original’. Although I do wish the story was a little longer, as I found it a little slow to get going, so by the time the pace picked up and I found my groove, the story was almost over.
This is a series of standalone historical romances – so there is no need to have read the other three books before diving into this one.
Happy Reading…

Thank you, T.L. Clark!

This book is by an author that I have enjoyed reading from the first book I picked up. I enjoy this author’s writing style as well as their creative characters that are written with a lot of heart. This book is no different. This is a shorter story and it packs a punch in entertainment in a short time. This is a story about LIzzy and how she may never find a suitor that can be trusted. She finds some hope in Mr. Darcy. You don’t want to miss what happens with Lizzy and Mr. Darcy. I enjoyed their characters and their growth is great. I read their story in one sitting as it is that great. I really enjoyed this book. I highly recommend this book and author.

I’ve never been one to get into Jane Austen books. While I thoroughly enjoy regency romance books, she’s one I just can’t seem to enjoy. At the beginning of the book I just couldn’t get into it, by the middle I was slowly getting there. Overall it was a good story. Georgiana tells her sister in law she thinks she’s ready to find a husband. A dinner party was planned and seemed like it was almost a “love at first sight” suggestion to the moment. The optional epilogue was a great thought for some steamy wedding night details.

Can Miss Georgiana Darcy ever find salvation?

Having been compromised by the wicked Mr Wickham, she held little hope for a happy future. Mercifully, her brother supplied a content home with his family at Pemberley. But Georgiana has become a third wheel.

Lizzy attempts to coax courage out of the unassuming, shy girl as she blooms into adulthood. And under Mr Darcy’s watchful gaze, she finds hope. But what manner of man will want to be united in marriage with such a girl? Are any of the suitors to be trusted?

Read the results of Mr Darcy’s Pemberley house party now in this alluring tale of matchmaking.

NB This novelette began as a short story in the Austen Tea Party charity anthology. It has now been expanded and released in its own right, with an optional epilogue for those wishing to read some marital bedroom antics.

Alchemy of Glass (The Apothecary Series) by Barbara Barnett – Review by Lucinda Morton-Phillips

September 5, 2024/0 Comments/in Reviews /by Lucinda Morton-Phillips

Alchemy of Glass by Barbara Barnett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

‘Alchemy of Glass’ is the 2nd book about Gaelan Erceldoune, an immortal apothecary. Whilst you could read it without reading the first book, you would get a much better understanding of the events in this book if you read ‘The Apothecary’s Curse’ first.
Once again, the story moves between several time periods, including actual time travel into a possible future. We share Gaelan’s confusion as to whether things are real, if he has gone insane, or if he is alive or dead.
It becomes a race against time to put things right and prevent an apocalyptic future from manifesting.
This book is a wonderful mix of Celtic mythology, fantasy, sci-fi, science and magic.

Notebook Mysteries ~ Art of Deception by Kimberly Mullins
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Our favorite mystery-solving duo is back again in this great addition to the Notebook Mysteries series. Emma, with Jeremy by her side again, has a new case. Their very pregnant friend Peggy has contacted them because her brother has gone missing. When he is found deceased, the case is afoot! While they’re used to working on jobs together, they are not used to having to factor in family related responsibilities while they do.

While they already wanted to quickly solve the case for Peggy’s sake, when multiple suspects appear with an interest in money from the victim, it becomes apparent that if they don’t quickly find the solution that it may be too late to catch the culprit. Layers of mystery and lots of chaos are loaded into the newest addition to the series. As usual, the story is beautifully well written with tons of great visuals and historical aspects to get you in the scene. This can be read as a standalone, but the world is so well described and the character building throughout the series is a joy to follow from book 1. Another win!

Notebook Mysteries ~ Art of Deception by Kimberly Mullins
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

After finding many readers enjoying this series, I decided to give a try with their holiday novella and now with this new selection. Although I do plan on going back from the beginning of the series to get a better understanding of the characters’ background, you can simply pick this one up as a stand alone story. I absolutely love detective stories, especially those with a strong female lead as the detective. Emma and Jeremy have grown as investigators from their previous cases and have become sought out commodities when things go awry. When a family member goes missing and then found murdered, the family reaches out to Emma and Jeremy to help in discovering many unanswered questions about the situation. One thing after another is a mystery, such as random and recent relocation to Chicago, sudden departure and traveling alone and past life unknown. The story takes you through a journey of adventure, intrigue, twists and turns.

Alchemy of Glass (The Apothecary Series) by Barbara Barnett is a great historical fantasy series

Drawing from the most ancient Celtic mythology and cutting edge technology, The Alchemy of Glass presents a tale as terrible as a broken mirror and magical as spun glass, fusing the harsh realities of tough decisions with the wonder of fairy lore and transporting us back to the world of eternal apothecary. In an effort to avert a disastrous future, Gaelan Erceldoune’s past, present, and future collide.

Every page had you hanging on every sentence and I couldn’t wait to see what would happen. It is a very unique story with even compelling people. I loved the series so far.The story really transports you into this world. I couldn’t put the book down.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the 7th book in the Notebook Mysteries Series. I have loved every one of these cosy mysteries. They are historical mysteries set in a time in the past which the author does an amazing job of bringing that time period to life for the reader. This is a story of murder, secrets, deception, danger, friendship, family and mystery.
When Emma’s ex flame Tony cames to her looking for helps, she and Jeremy don’t hesitate to jump at the case.
Tony’s brother in law has been found murdered and no one can understand why.
Now Jeremy and Emma and their team have to solve the mystery of this case. Was was Peggy’s brother murdered? Was it a targeted attack or could Peggy be in danger? What exactly will they uncover about the brother Peggy hasn’t seen in years?

As with all these stories they can be read as standalones as they focus on different cases however that being said I have a feeling once you read one you will want to read them all.
If you like cosy mysteries with a strong determined female slueth then i definately recommend reading these books

Every book in this series just hits the spot. As with the rest of this series, I love the mixture of historical fiction, detective mystery, and more directed at YA.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Gaelen has been living for a long time and feels like he may finally have something that will end it. Instead, he finds himself in a series of catacombs with a journal that he found. It’s not just any journal though. This one was written by his old buddy Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and it speaks of things not of this world. Within its pages he finds a shard of glass that belongs to a stained glass panel he made a century earlier. What was it doing there? With the glass in hand he is thrust into the world spoken of on the pages of the journal. He knows he is as sane as ever, but how did he get to this other world? This was a fun sequel to The Apothecary’s Curse that can be read as a standalone if you wish.

Alchemy of Glass is the sequel of The Apothecary’s Curse so I recommend reading that first but it can be read as a stand alone instead. Gaelan Erceldoune has been living for hundreds of years and finally has what he believes will end his long life. Instead he finds himself in the catacombs where he discovers a journal from an old friend that decides an Otherworld. Within the journal is a piece of stained glass that takes him into the dreamscape described in the pages. Again Barbara Barnett has crafted a perfect story that mixes the past, present, and future together to bring an epic and engaging tale. It has a great mix of history, fantasy, and science.
