Lynn’s Review: I thought it would be clever to write this review in letter format. But I’m really not that clever. And I’m horrible at maintaining correspondence. Completely horrible.

Lynn’s Review: Even when Darcy looks like this, I contend Captain Frederick Wentworth > Fitzwilliam Darcy. There is just something about Anne and Wentworth. Even after the years apart, the love still burns brightly. Probably more so the second time around. Anne is surrounded by the worst people. Her father and older sister […]
