Ginger Monette...Darcy's Hope ~ Beauty from Ashes

Hello everyone! Today is my turn to spotlight the new book, Darcy's Hope ~ Beauty from Ashes, by
author, Ginger Monette. There are many neat things available for this tour that it was hard to settle on two or three. I hope you will enjoy looking at some of the things that I chose to share with you. Ms. Monette, you did an amazing job of putting all of this together. :) Thank you for visiting me today.

Darcy’s Hope ~ Beauty from Ashes,
A WW1 Pride & Prejudice Variation


____________________________________________________________
Escape to the era of Downton Abbey and experience all the drama of World War 1 alongside literature’s iconic Elizabeth Bennet & Fitzwilliam Darcy. You'll watch their tender love unfold as they learn to work together and reconcile their differences amidst the carnage of war.
____________________________________________________________

1916. World War I has turned French chateaux into bloody field hospitals, British gentlemen into lice-infested soldiers, and left Elizabeth Bennet's life in tatters.

Her father is dead and her home destroyed. Never again will Elizabeth depend on a man to secure her future!

But when an opportunity arises to advance her dreams of becoming a doctor, she is elated—until he arrives....

Heartbroken. Devastated. Captain Fitzwilliam Darcy is left rejected by the woman he loved and reeling from the slaughter of his men on the battlefield. “Enough!” Darcy vows. “No more sentimental attachments!”

But arriving at a field hospital to pursue a covert investigation, Darcy discovers his beloved Elizabeth training with a dashing American doctor and embroiled in an espionage conspiracy.

With only a few months to expose the plot, Darcy is forced to grapple with his feelings for Elizabeth while uncovering the truth. Is she indeed innocent? Darcy can only hope….

•Cameo appearance by John Thornton (of Gaskill’s North & South).
•Rated PG. Clean romance, mild language, some war scenes.
Darcy's Hope has a happy ending but will continue in Darcy's Hope at Donwell Abbey, coming in February 2017. In the sequel, readers will experience the full resolution of the mystery, and our beloved couple's love will face a new, tragic test.

Thank you for visiting my blog during your tour, Ginger. I'm glad that you got to make it this year. The book sounds exciting and to have a cameo by John Thornton, makes it all the more so. 

The giveaway is fantastic and I hope my readers will take the time to visit the other blogs. Congratulations on such a successful launch and best wishes for your continued success. I hope to have you visit again when the next book releases.

  1. What a lovely post, Janet, thank you!

    I hope readers will take a moment to have a look at the video trailer you linked in the general info above. Many readers have commented on how much they enjoyed it. And those that purchase the book are enjoying Lizzy's Scrapbook as well.

    If you love Jane Austen and/or period drama, join me on FB at Ginger Monette, author (link is above). I post a few times a week, generally something that strikes my fancy on one of those two topics.

    Enjoy Darcy's Hope!

  2. I've never watched Downton Abbey so will stay out of the giveaway to give someone else a chance. The book cover still strikes me as having very strange eyes, but the excerpts and reviews, not to mention the scrapbook, are all drawing me in. And it is, after all, the *story* that matters ... The video gave me chills ...
