Darcy and Fitzwilliam

"A very interesting take on a great story. I believe the author did an excellent job of taking Jane Austen's characters and telling a very different story. Austen fans and fans of Austen inspired fiction will not want to miss this one." - Debbie's Book Bag

"Her deftly written tale of family, friendship, and marriage should please most Regency readers." - Booklist

"I love so many aspects of this book that it's almost difficult to put it into words." - Books Like Breathing

"Laugh until your sides ache and then laugh some more with Karen V. Wasylowski's delicious Darcy and Fitzwilliam: A Tale of a Gentleman and an Officer. This absorbing, fast-moving romp of a book catalogues the often hilarious ups and downs in the enduring affectionate friendship of those brothers-in-spirit, cousins Fitzwilliam Darcy and Colonel Richard Fitzwilliam." - Linda Banche Romance Author

"Overall, I found Karen Wasylowski's much anticipated debut novel to be a praiseworthy addition to the world of Austenesque novels! I found much amusement and pleasure in this novel! I sincerely hope we will see more from Ms. Wasylowski in the future!" - Austenesque Reviews

"Her work is page turning, humorous, maddening and touching. This is a fine edition to the ever-growing library of Austenesque novels. It's definitely a "bromance" worth an Austen fan's consideration." - The Calico Critic

"Wasylowski does a great job balancing the lightness of Darcy and Fitzwilliam's teasing with heavier moments, including Fitzwilliam's memories of war and women's lack of rights during the Regency era, highlighted by a widow's child custody battle. But the humor really stands out and makes Darcy and Fitzwilliam an enjoyable read." - Diary of an Eccentric

"This book was a delight to read. I found the character development of Colonel Fitzwilliam particularly fascinating. Men who have seen war, especially at the grand level Wasylowski has laid out her Fitzwilliam, are hardly ever unaffected. Her portrayal of his issues and struggles are heartfelt and poignant." - Jane Austen Examiner

"There were many parts of this story to like and love and it shouldn't disappoint. Many stories that try to provide an ending for much-loved characters often do not supply the satisfaction that the reader wants, but I think this one will. We are able to see the depth of love between Lizzy and Darcy (and their bedroom antics supply many a smile for the household) and these characters seem to be kept true to form throughout the book" - Australian Romance Readers

A gentleman in love cannot survive without his best friend...
Fitzwilliam Darcy and Colonel Fitzwilliam couldn't be more different, and that goes for the way each one woos and pursues the woman of his dreams. Darcy is quiet and reserved, careful and dutiful, and his qualms and hesitations are going to torpedo his courtship of Elizabeth. His affable and vivacious cousin, Colonel Fitzwilliam is a military hero whose devil-may-care personality hides the torments within, until he finds himself in a passionate, whirlwind affair with a beautiful widow who won't hear of his honorable intentions.

Cousins, best friends, and sparring partners, Darcy and Fitzwilliam have always been there for each other. So it's no surprise when the only one who can help Darcy fix his botched marriage proposals is Fitzwilliam, and the only one who can pull Fitzwilliam out of an increasingly dangerous entanglement is Darcy...
