    About this ebook

    Love and the Library - A celebration of the beginnings of love wherein four young Regency gentlemen meet their matches over a copy of “Pride and Prejudice” at the library.

    Book 3: Felicity and Frank

    Every woman should have her own Mr. Darcy—unless she prefers Mr. Bingley.

    Something strange goes on in that library.

    Not one, but two of Mr. Frank Wynne’s friends found the ladies of their dreams at the library over a copy of “Pride and Prejudice”. Magic? Divine providence? Hardly. Coincidence or luck? Perhaps. And to prove or disprove the possibilities, he’ll go to the library and read “Pride and Prejudice”. Day after day after day. To his surprise, the book is funny, and he does like that Bingley chap. His lady doesn’t appear, though. Of course not. But still...

    Miss Felicity White adores “Pride and Prejudice”. But while most ladies swoon over Mr. Darcy, Mr. Bingley is the man after her own heart. Happy, good-natured, cheerful, outgoing Mr. Bingley. She loves him so much, she even rewrote “Pride and Prejudice” from his perspective. Now, if she can only find a gentleman like him...

    When Felicity and Frank run into each other, the enchantment of “Pride and Prejudice” and the library just might strike again.

    A sweet, traditional Regency romance, but not a retelling of “Pride and Prejudice”. 45,000 words.

    I write in the style of my favorite author, Barbara Metzger. If you like her Regency comedies, you may enjoy mine.

      This charming book made me smile. I’m a big fan of Jane Austen’s, so I was attracted by this book’s description that it’s about Pride and Prejudice told from the point of view of Darcy’s friend, Mr. Bingley. It takes place during the Regency Period and the story revolves around the female writer’s attempts to get her book published. She finds a huge fan in a handsome man she meets and he helps her find a way to get it published. He is a man who truly appreciates her writing abilities; one night, he laughs so much while reading her book that he can’t control himself and starts banging on the wall by his bedside; thereby disturbing the occupants in the next room. He even puts his health in danger in order to save her book. That’s a man after every woman writer’s heart.
