It is a good book, although flawed. I enjoyed the first half with the misunderstanding between Elizabeth and Georgiana. But once that was cleared up, the book kind of dragged along. I have enjoyed other books by this author such as Pemberley's Promise which I feel is the better written book. What was flawed about it was for one Georgiana was to bossy, was very intent on changing Darcy. She seemed very modern with her attempt at self-improvement. Two the ending dragged along, and seemed slow going. But other then that it was a good book I enjoyed Jane's wedding and the interaction between Darcy and Elizabeth. Overall I would recommend it.

This was a great book. I liked how the author made the romance of the book subtle yet you could see them slowly falling in love. Ms. Morren is a great writer this is the second book I have read by her. I also highly recommended "Winter is Past" another book of hers. Read this book you will not be disappointed.

I enjoyed this book. It was an easy read but I loved the sweet romance between Etienne and Letitia. A clean romance and a God centered one.

This I believe was the fist Grace Livingston Hill book I read. It remains my favorite to this day. Marcia's goodness and self-sacrifice, endear her to the reader in no time at all. She takes her sister's place, when her sister runs off on the day of her wedding. Slowly Marcia and her new husband, learn to understand and love each other. Of course, the course of true love never runs smoothly and Marcia has several difficult situations to overcome. But she does deal with it through the grace of God. That is another thing I love about Mrs. Hill's books God is always at the center of her books. If you want a good Christian romance novel to read then this is a great one to start with.

The description on the book is a little misleading. Miss Lavinia's call is really a collection of short stories by Mrs Hill. Miss Lavinia being one of the short stories. Overall I liked them, I think the title story the best but all have there merits. I would recommend this book to all who like gentle stories about a time gone by!

This book takes the story and people from Pride and Prejudice and puts them in a different setting. In this story Darcy and Elizabeth meet on a ship called Pemberley's Promise which is on it's way to America. Throughout the book you will recognize conversations and situations from the original book. This book is not as good as Pride and Prejudice, but I did not think it would be. I found the book to be a sweet love story and enjoyed it tremendously. I would recommend it those who want to spend more time in the world of Darcy and Elizabeth. (And Who Doesn't want to do that?)

What I most enjoyed about this book was the way Ildiko and Brishen approach their marriage. They have a pragmatic outlook which is a refreshing take on the well worn trope of arranged marriage in romance. They decide that they are in this together so rather then make each other miserable they become a team against the very real threats from Brishen's family and outside fractions who are against the marriage. And of course along the way they find friendship which sets up a solid foundation for love.

It is a well written, intriguing, and lovely read and I highly recommend it

As I said in the title, it is an old fashioned yet refreshing. It reads as something out of the 50's, yet the moral of the story applies today. I enjoyed reading this book, it reminded me of the Tammy movies, which are based on Mrs. Sumner's books. It is a light-hearted entertaining easy book to read and it is refreshing because it does have a moral to the story. Give it a chance you might like it!

This book was great! I highly recommend it, not only was the love story awesome, but you learn a lot about England during that time period. I also enjoyed the deep faith of the characters you really felt it and it seemed real and not something the author made up to fill pages. So far this is my favorite by this author.
