Yesterday was the day that this book went live on all retailers. The only places where I’m still waiting to see the book listed are Hoopla (which always takes forever) and Everand.
If you’re a subscription reader, the book is available to read “for free” with your Kobo Plus subscription, and it has been added to the Repository on Patreon for paid members to read.
FYI: There are changes being made to membership things at Patreon. The official reveal of all that will be coming soon, but for now, just know that all paid members have been given access to read this new release and the Teatime Tales prequel as part of their membership benefits. And memberships currently begin at $1 USD.
If you’re a paperback reader, both the large and regular print paperback editions are available on Amazon.
I got my copies of it just a few days ago, and they turned out very pretty. 🙂
How to Marry an Accomplished Lady, just like it’s prequel An Accomplished Lady (of the best sort), is not an angsty book. It’s not supposed to be. It’s more of a romcom — full of entertaining antics and enjoyment. That doesn’t mean that there isn’t anyone trying to stop Darcy from marrying Elizabeth. Oh no, there are a few of those characters, who simply add to the drama that might just drive Darcy to distraction as he moves from determined to ask Elizabeth to marry him, to betrothed, to finally married.
And there are hints at what you might expect in the short sequel to this story, which will be a Mary and the Colonel novelette. (And which I need to get back to writing after the holidays).
If you’d like to see what some of the advance review copy readers are saying about this book, here are a few sound bites from the reviews I’ve gotten via my Booksprout Review Team.
Please feel free to share news of this new release with your friends! You can always tag me on FB (@LeenieBrown) or IG (@leeniebbooks) and I’ll give it a like (as long as Meta lets me know about the tag — you know how social media can be 😉 ).
How to Marry an Accomplished Lady is now available for preorder!
Release day is December 26! So, put your order in now so that you can put your feet up on Boxing Day and enjoy a few hours of lighthearted Darcy and Elizabeth goodness.
ABOUT THE BOOK:
The course of true love never did run smooth. Sometimes, it must circumvent ridiculous relations and troublesome former friends.
Having come to the realization that Miss Elizabeth Bennet is the perfect lady for him, Fitzwilliam Darcy sets a plan to eventually secure her hand in marriage.
Elizabeth is amenable to his proposal, and so begins a courtship that is more of a formality than something which is actually needed to determine if the two lovers wish to pledge forever to each other.
Unfortunately, not everyone is as agreeable that the wedding should take place, and they do their best to cast shadows and present stumbling blocks.
If you like stories about two people, who are devoted to each other, rising above the calculated tactics designed to drive a wedge between them, then, you’ll enjoy this light-hearted tale about how Darcy and Elizabeth navigate the somewhat turbulent waters of life and love.
If you’re looking for the print edition, you can find both the regular print and the LARGE print editions on Amazon.
BECAUSE THERE IS A PREQUEL (that doesn’t have to be read first but makes reading the new novel more enjoyable) I have put it on sale during the pre-order period. So grab it at $0.99 (USD, CAD, NZD, AUD, EUR, GBP, or other local equivalent).

Today, October 11, 2024, I am taking part in a large multi-author book promotion. How large? Over 180 books large! (And we were only allowed to submit one book per pen name, so that’s over 180 different authors!)
I’ve been previewing the list of books, and there are some that I am eagerly waiting to download (a couple have even been on my wishlist for a while so that’s a really treat!).
So, what can you find here —
books that are offered exclusively on Amazon (AKA Kindle Unlimited books)
books that are offered on a variety of retailers (including Amazon)
small town romances (my book by Annilee Nelson is in this category for anyone who’s interested)
sports romances (Um, there’s a romance in this selection by Ranee S Clark that I know is based on Jane Austen’s Emma, so you know I’m going to be picking that one up… especially since I already read a couple by her based on Sense and Sensibility and enjoyed them)
Christmas and holiday romances (It is the season… or will be really soon 😉 )
historical romances (which is where you’ll find my Leenie book, as well as a book by Jennifer Joy)
And that’s only about half of the categories you’ll find listed on the landing page. Oh, the organizer has done a fantastic job making it easy to find books! Her team has listed if the books are on Amazon or all retailers as well as three tropes that you will find in each book, so you have an idea if you’ll like the book before you even click to the sales page. I can’t imagine how much time and effort it took to get that all sorted out and arranged with links. Whew! Makes me tired just to think about it.
I know; get on with it, Leenie, and give us the link already, right? LOL
