title: Becoming Elizabeth Darcy
author:  Mary Lydon Simonsen 
description: <span>Simonsen's humor does however still get an opportunity to shine through as she opens our eyes to the reality of what the Regency era was like... These satirical sections of the novel help to level out the darker and more complex remainder of the story line... I feel that Simonsen has a great balance between these themes of humor and seriousness, and this makes the novel an exciting and fulfilling addition to he fan fiction world. - Reflections of a Book Addict</span><br /><br /><span>Becoming Elizabeth Darcy</span><span>is a fun book, especially if you've ever thought about living in your favorite novel. Darcy and Elizabeth's suffering adds a layer of seriousness to the story, but Simonsen really lightens the mood with Beth, her crusade to sanitize Pemberley, and all the anachronisms that can be expected when one travels from 2010 to 1826. Simonsen obviously loves Austen's characters and knows how to have fun with them. - Diary of an Eccentric</span>

  As London’s most popular actress, Amelia is famous at court, and she doesn’t
  have a husband to tell her what do. Unfortunately, the king has ordered her to
  train the rakehell, Lord Chase to act for the court. Before long, the Earl is
  driving her wild with desire and awakening her heart to love. As an actress,
  society dictates she can never be more than Lord Chase’s mistress, and Amelia
