I really liked this story for a variety of reasons. First of all, I loved the historical nature of the story, specifically, the details about sailing and sailors and the impact a victory at sea might have on a ship's captains life (a little flavor from Persuasion perhaps?). When one gets to the end of the story, the author details many specifics related to the vast research that she's obviously done as she's written this story. I was very impressed by that.Secondly, I like what she's done with the P&P characters. The development of Mary and Kitty and Georgiana as characters was quite pleasing. Thirdly, I like the new characters created by the author, none more than Matthew Stanton. He's a great character - so likable and so right with and for Georgiana.
The whole story is very engaging and will leave you wanting for more! The dream sequences seem to be an issue for some who have read the book and written reviews here. I confess that they weren't my favorite thing, but I respect that each author utilizes various techniques to tell a story and I do like to have my reading 'chops' stretched by different techniques so I didn't let it bother me too much. PLEASE don't let the reported unhappiness about the dream sequences stop you from reading a really enjoyable story and getting to know some really great characters. You would lose out!
And lastly, I can't fail to mention our dear couple - the author captures them so well and makes their ongoing story appealing and satisfying to those of us who love them!
And now it's for me to wait for book 3!

I loved the way this story was written between the character's dreams and the reality of what really happened in their lives. The characters were well developed and love was all around the family for each other in their time of need.
Children were born, marriages happened, sadness occurred and problems resolved somehow. There were twists and turns and even the Colonel found love after helping a French widow.
The plot was well thought out and fell into place following the novel, "A Constant Love." I did think the characters blended well and the reader felt like they were witnessing what was really happening in the novel.
I thought the part of the story where little Lizzy was crying and then calling for "pa" and everyone thought she was calling for Charles was a great addition to the plot.
In also enjoyed learning about how they made a piano that came apart especially for Georgiana to take with her on the ship so she could play it.
Looking forward to another great novel with the depth this one had from our author. An exceptional read.
This was not a stand-a-lone book. It followed Turner’s ‘A Constant Love’ and continued the story lines and character adventures already established in the first book. You will certainly need to read the other book first.
Like a carpenter fitly joins two boards together with a dove-tail connection, Turner seamlessly joined our story lines together and continued the journey of our favorite P&P characters.
Story lines There was a bunch of them and mostly centered around music of some sort.
Georgiana [Lady Stanton] and Captain Sir Matthew Stanton
Kitty [Catherine] Bennet and Andrew Ramsey
Brief reference to Lydia and minimal page time with Wickham
Jane and Bingley, always there offering comfort and counsel when needed
Miss Mary Bennet and Mr. David Stanton
Lord Anglesey and Lady Tonbridge [I love these people]
Colonel Fitzwilliam, his parents Lord and Lady Ellen Brandon, and Marguerite Durand
Comic relief [somewhat] The Bakers [wow…that was interesting]
Characters galore who were introduced, used and then moved on
Historical events and their aftermaths
Regency era pregnancy information I went to elenagreene [dot] com [backward slash /] regencycb [dot] html
I was a bit worried about Elizabeth getting up and about too soon. I knew there were conditions for the confinement after birth; however, the above site said it was usually left up to the patient to decide the conditions they would tolerate after birth.
Villains
First, foremost, and always… Wickham [the bastard] whatever he touched he destroyed. Always looking for a monetary angle, he left a wake of destruction in his path.
Mr. Stanton [a Mr. Brocklehurst type], evil horrid man.
Lady Catherine made her august presence known a few times. As much as we love that scene in P&P between her and E in the little wilderness at Longbourn, Turner gave us another that I believe is even better. It was between Lady C and Marguerite Durand. OMG!! It was awesome.
This story continues the everyday life and times of Elizabeth and Fitzwilliam Darcy. They are the hub of this series of stories with offshoots of other stories branching out in all directions. However, like all roads leading to Rome, all roads lead back to our dear couple. They are the center of the story with the spot light occasionally featuring one or the other of the couples.
What I didn’t like I know literature and movies use dream sequence as a… symbol, flashback, flash-forward, fantasy, vision, dream, daydream, way to set apart a brief interlude from the main story or some other element. [Wikipedia] However, it shouldn’t take up chapters. After the first nightmare [I will not even call it a dream], I couldn’t handle it. I finally speed read or skipped over them. There were just too many. As I continued with the story, there were several references back to those dreams, but I didn’t feel the void by not having read them. The dreams weren’t exactly foretelling; however, they did affect the story. I just didn’t want to spend my time reading something that was not real. That sounds funny as the story isn’t real. I mean… real to the story. And besides, some of it was a freaking nightmare. The angst was awful.
What I did like ‘Love Is in the Air’… hey, that should be a song. Wait, it is a song [1977 disco song sung by John Paul Young, written by George Young and Harry Vanda]. It seemed that everyone was in love, or wanted to be in love, was finding out they were in love, planning a wedding, was in a wedding, wanted to get married, was getting married, had just gotten married, wanted a baby, was having a baby, had a baby, and on and on it went. This unfolded like the calendar of events in the lives of our characters. It was a slow gentle read, minimal angst [if you can get past the nightmares], no explicit sex and the marriage bed was handled beautifully. There were a few fearful moments that grabbed your attention, but nothing too difficult. And then it ended. And there were enough threads left to carry over into another book.
There was a really interesting Author’s Notes at the end that gave references and explained how and what motivated the author.
