The Exploits & Adventures of Miss Alethea Darcy: A Novel

Loved the book. I couldn’t put it down. I will probably read it again slowly to see what I missed.

Pride and Prejudice regency concept meets 'Twelth Night'. I liked the concept of a woman dressing as a man to escape her fate. It's unique. I admit that it's not my favorite of her series, but it was still fun, original, not another rip off copy of 'Pride and Prejudice' and the pace was perfectly fine. I think others are being a little too critical or anal retentive.

I enjoyed Vol. 1 of this series, but this second volume was too convoluted to follow , couldnt keep up , the MC became boring, and I have read much better books on KindleUnlimited. I finally gave up and will remove the author from my Following list. This one certainly was not worth the outrageous price of $15.99 ..

I read a little out of order (started with The Second Mrs. Darcy and then began in order) and I LOVE this story. Overall, the series is wonderful. I'm a bit skeptical of P&P sequels but after I read that Elizabeth Aston studied under a biographer of Austen I thought I would give them a try. They do not disappoint!

I have all her books about the Darcy's and keep looking for more. She is as clever a writer as Georgette Heyer. I especially like her ability to delineate characters which just make her books! I have read and reread the set about the Darcy's and enjoyed them as much as my collection of Georgette Heyer's.

A lively story, an excellent read in the tradition of the beloved Darcy family.Not deep, but quite entertaining.

Fun book for those who love Jane Austen. Written in her style, it is a delightful read. Couldn't put it down.

I cannot agree with the previous two reviews except that if you're looking for Jane Austen you won't find her here. I really enjoyed the book and found it entertaining and exciting - especially the episodes in the Alps and Italy. If you read this author's website you will see she is not intending to imitate Austen but to carry on the stories with the next generation. I think the characters are well drawn and the writing fluent. Titus Manningtree is an interesting character as is Alethea Darcy. There must have been people like her who were impatient of the contraints of society otherwise we would never have had the women's suffrage movement later in the same century. I believe the freedom allowed to widows was far greater than that allowed to single women at the time and Alethea would have been able to set up her own establishment and virtually do what she wanted - especially if she lived in Europe. So for me these were not jarring notes in the book. This in my opinion is the sort of book either Jane Austen or Georgette Heyer might have written if they'd been writing today. I recommend it.

Book to add to your must read list.It is a really good read and the authoress gives a very good imitation of the style of Jane Austen, which adds to the flavour of the Regency Period. I have no hesitation in recommending this book as a very good buy.

Excellent product

An exciting romp through Regency times and Europe.

It's always a pleasure to curl up and lose oneself in an Aston book. I am slowly working my way thru all she's written and having a wonderful read
