Kiss Me Good Night, Major Darcy Kindle Edition

by Georgina Young-Ellis (Author), Janet Taylor (Illustrator), Don Jacobson (Editor), Format: Kindle Edition
4.3 out of 5 stars 145 ratings

The wind ruffled Darcy’s hair. “You’re beautiful.”
Happiness surged through Elizabeth's body like electricity. This moment was as close to perfection as she had ever known.

1943. World War II has torn the continent since 1939 and tested families, the Bennets included. Elizabeth and Jane nurse wounded soldiers and civilians in a London hospital. The other sisters volunteer as best suits their inclinations. Mr. Bennet rattles about Longbourn. Wickham sniffs about the edges of the estate—and the Bennet daughters.

Even the ever-present threat of death from the skies cannot prepare Jane and Lizzy for the most devastating news. The words one never wishes to hear are delivered by two officers, each scarred by years on the front lines. In the dark days that follow, devotion is tested, and affection blooms.

Kiss Me Good Night, Major Darcy drops Jane Austen’s timeless characters into the midst of the most horrific conflict in human history. Their trail twists and encounters those who would turn sacrifice to their profit. Follow the women of Longbourn as they navigate the rocks and shoals of wartime Great Britain to endure misunderstandings and discover lasting love.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Set in WWII, ODC, Jane and Bingley meet under trying and sad circumstances.
    Reviewed in the United States on July 28, 2022

    I enjoyed this story. Partly because there is some angst to it. I took off a 1/2 point for the abrupt ending but then added 1/2 point back in due to the author giving us 7 links to YouTube music which fits in with the story.

    As the story description tells us this story is set in WWII in England (and a little bit in France). Mrs. Bennet is dead, and Mr. Bennet lives at Longbourn. Jane, Elizabeth, Kitty and Lydia, serve in the Volunteer Aid Detachment at St. Andrews as the story begins. They rarely get any time off and work long hours. Mary, living at Longbourn, works on a neighboring farm (in the Land Army) due to the farm workers having gone off to war.

    Much of the story gives us history lessons as we hear of what is happening on the war front, the Battle of the Bulge, D-Day, the atomic bombing of the 2 Japanese cities, etc. The Blitz of London is part of what our characters live through. We also read of the interaction between the soldiers and the local women in the hospital setting and at a rare dance.

    Major Darcy and Captain Bingley are both back in England due to some wounds and the need to heal. Darcy has an eye patch while Bingley has a broken arm. They arrive on the scene as messengers of bad news. (I won't spoil the story here but know that the news has a drastic affect on one sister is particular but also on the others as they love and support her.)

    Of course, there is the romantic element. With the two men still being on active duty they are not always nearby and so there is some angst as to what action they face and if they are safe. Wickham is part of the story but he soon is shown for the coward he is. But he, as in canon, provides some tension and lies about Darcy.

    I recommend highly this story.

    With the characters shifted into a more modern era, I found this an enlightening story about Britain in a time of war. The story immersed the reader in the culture and concerns of the time through the rationing, news reports, and music.

    The cover caught my attention and drew me in. This is a WWII variation that not only has the P & P cast but some historical aspects to provide some depth. A sweet and clean story with some angst but not too much. Jane has a bit more backbone. Elizabeth is an independent, modern woman but not AS stubborn or one sided in her opinions. Mary also reveals a different side to her character. Kitty is Kitty. Lydia is definitely Lydia. No comeuppance for the antagonists. Well, ok, Collins does receive his. I did appreciate Charlotte in this variation. My minds eye loves the images of Darcy dancing the jitterbug 😊.

    4.0 out of 5 stars interesting take on history
    Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2022

    This book is based during the war. Jane and Elizabeth are nurses while Kitty and Lydia are helpers. This story covers the history of the war while giving us insights into the Bennet’s, Darcy, and Bingley families. Elizabeth’s journey was not always pleasant but with Darcys presence she was able to overcome her trials.
    I will say this is a good story. When taking Darcy and Elizabeth into another setting some authors loose the connection but that was not the case. I would have liked some more alone time and meaningful conversations but overall I enjoyed the book.

    I’m very selective about reading more than the sample of a modern variation of P&P. This story I quickly downloaded in its entirety when I finished the sample.

    Of course, the story is well-written and edited. As expected, the ending treatments of each of the likeable characters were HEAs. And those for Caroline, Wickham, and Collins were welcome.

    Thanks for sharing your talent and for offering the KU option!

    So, what’s next, Georgina?

    A lot of build up for a hasty ending that had to do with everyone but odc. Would have loved to see odc after, and Lizzie thriving in her career. Also, the initial set down made no sense to me on Lizzie's part and on both declarations, Darcy just feels rushed, the dialogue showing zero chemistry.

    I wasn’t sure what I was gonna think of this book. I don’t know much about the history of World War II and especially in England. However it was really well written. It was interesting and engaging. There is a little too much detail about cars and clothes but it made sense for the time I believe. Overall really well written and look forward to more books by this author

    I really enjoyed this story and thought the authors did an excellent job of it. The characters did talk like Americans sometimes, and Jane's wedding took place in the house of Pemberley itself, rather than its chapel or a parish church, so it would have been null and void, but apart from these minor details, it was an excellent read and fully deserved five stars.
