  Readers love Karla Darcy

  "Fans of Downton Abbey and Jane Austen (without zombies) will adore this book. Karla Darcy makes us remember why we lose sense and sensibility for a sexy Regency hero and captures the era with a glorious and colorful voice!"

  Roxanne St. Claire, New York Times Bestselling Author

  "Karla Darcy weaves one fabulous Regency Romance after another. Wise, witty and wonderful. Move over Jane for another Darcy you will love!"

  Mary Alice Monroe, NY Times author of Beach House Memories

 

  "… creates a particularly attractive heroine to captivate both the hero and the reader alike. Darcy is winning a large readership with her diverting novels in this most competitive genre."

  Romantic Times

  "The result is an amusing contest of matching wits, that will leave you holding your sides as you root for a happy compromise between the foes."

  Affaire de Coeur

  "Karla hooks readers and carries them along to a wonderfully satisfying ending."

  "I simply couldn't put the book down. This emotionally intense love story will grip readers' attention."

  "…writing is graceful and witty, plotting is clever, added to this are two characters who will charm and delight you."

  "The humor and tenderness give this book heart and authentic details and great sexual tension make for a great read."

  "Darcy is winning a large readership with her diverting novels in this most competitive genre."

  "…. weaves her magic spell once more in this intricately plotted gem of a book."
