"A WEEKEND WITH MR. DARCY is a quick, fun read. " - Fresh Fiction

"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.
" - Austenesque Reviews

"Connelly also creates a cast of characters that are fun and outrageous from Dame Pamela to Higgins the butler. 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.

"Will A Weekend with Mr. Darcy get lost in the sea of "Mr. Darcy" inspired novels flooding the market? Nope. It is the leader of the pack! Brava Ms. Connelly! Since this is the first in a trilogy, we are all anticipation from this very talented author.

" - Austenprose

"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" - Chick Lit Reviews

"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.

"All in all, two sweet romances filled with fabulous Jane Austen references and history. A Weekend With Mr. Darcy made me want to pick up my own copy of Pride and Prejudice for a nice, comforting re-read" - Book Addict

"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.

" - Read All Over Reviews

"Jane Austen fans, rejoice! Here is another entry into the healthy genre of Austen inspired sequels and this one is a solid winner. Author Victoria Connelly takes real life Austen addicts, with Austen inspired weekends and tours, and uses that to base her clever, romantic and intriguing A Weekend With Mr. Darcy around.

" - Psychotic State Book Reviews

"It's a sweet novel, with characters who are lovable and down to earth. " - Chick Lit Club

Reseña del editor:

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...

But 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?

PRAISE FOR VICTORIA CONNELLY:
