J. MARIE CROFT

Love at First Slight, There was not a single thing I did not like about this novel. The authors sharp wit could rival that of Jane Austen a pure delight to read.

Addicted to Austen

Mr. Darcy Takes the Plunge, "Hilarious, enjoyable, witty, laugh-out-loud book!"

LEATHERBOUND REVIEWS

A Little Whimsical in His Civilities, If theres an Austen hero that deserves a good chuckle at himself, I can think of none other more deserving than the proud and staid Mr. Darcy. Ms. Croft helps him loosen up his cravat in a manner that is playful, poetic and utterly romantic.

I am proud to say that I have a very good eye at an Adultress,

Jane Austen in a letter to her sister, Cassandra, 12 May 1801.

J ane Austen knew not only how to spot an adulteress, she adeptlyand cleverlywrote about them too. Her books are filled with rakes, rattles, and rogues who made sport of toying with ladies hearts all over Regency England.

As one who proudly admits harboring her own soft spot for John Willoughby, I have often imagined that was part of Austen's design in creating his character. While she herself did not condone adultery or the scandalous behaviors that many of her contemporaries engaged in, she undoubtedly knew there must be at least two sides to every story as she wrote complex characters comprised of a multitude of traits, adding color and depth to her narratives. Her protagonists undoubtedly benefitted from her skilled hand, even allowing readers to empathize on some level with even her less-than-noble gentlemen. And yet, she does not fully sketch out her secondary or tertiary characters, leaving much to the readers imagination in regard to how each became the rake or gentleman rogue in her novels.
