Mailbox Monday #514

Mailbox Monday has become a tradition in the blogging world, and many of us thank Marcia of The Printed Page for creating it.

It now has it’s own blog where book bloggers can link up their own mailbox posts and share which books they bought or which they received for review from publishers, authors, and more.

Leslie, Martha, and I also will share our picks from everyone’s links in the new feature Books that Caught Our Eye. We hope you’ll join us.

As you may have guessed, this D.C. area got hit with a lot more snow than expected, which means snow days and kids home driving working at home parents crazy. I hope you are all enjoying your winter activities and the snow if you have it. Back to work for me.

Here’s what I received:

Hope for Fitzwilliam by Jenna Ellsworth, a Kindle freebie.

Colonel Fitzwilliam has always been a ladies’ man, confident and suave. But when his heart falls for the recently widowed Charlotte Collins, he discovers all of his experience does him little good. And as he prepares to depart for war in the Americas, he fears he is leaving Charlotte behind at Pemberley with a more dangerous foe—one he does not know how to fight.

Charlotte Collins, ill prepared to understand the workings of a heart that has been touched, is determined to find a way to provide a new life for her and her unborn child. But as she quietly observes the daily, tender expressions of love between Mr. and Mrs. Darcy, she is forced to reexamine her own beliefs about love and marriage.

With battles looming inside them both, Colonel Fitzwilliam prepares to fight the greatest battle he has ever faced. As the conflict unfolds, even a decorated colonel finds himself helpless against the foe. He can only hope for something greater than himself to intervene—for more than one person has hope for Fitzwilliam to return home safely and secure Charlotte’s fragile, independent heart.

Mr. Darcy’s Mistress by Francine Howarth and Pat Jackson, a Kindle freebie.

Nothing is quite as it Seems at Pemberley! (Republished due to change in publisher imprint)

Jane Austen Fan Fiction: Honeymoon at Pemberley with Elizabeth (nee Bennet) and Fitzwilliam Darcy. But oh what a web of deceit is spun lest a past Darcy secret should come to light. Thus temptation to pry into private correspondence is a dreadful affliction, and the torment of an inquisitive mind adds fuel to a mystery Elizabeth dare not ask Darcy to reveal. Who then can help with unravelling the truth behind a clandestine affair other than Bingley? But trouble comes in threes, so it is said, and a visitor on the doorstep cannot be turned away, no matter she has brought destitution upon herself!

Darcy’s Secret by Reina M. Williams, a Kindle freebie.

Revisit Pemberley in this short story in the Love at Pemberley series, a light, sweet jaunt into the world of Pride and Prejudice.

Caroline Bingley, along with her brother and sister-in-law, returns to Pemberley with a mysterious man whose secret Mr. Darcy soon discovers. Deciding to keep this secret may risk all he values, but love always finds a way at Pemberley.
