He feels deeply. If he falls for you then he&#39;s made up his mind for good. polo-puppy-fluffyAThotmail *dot* com He is a bit snobby but after all he has a good heart. He&#39;d at least marry you despite what his relatives might think.MarionGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00297721620410935873[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1263361198169334187.post-41846423181828570912009-11-08T04:56:35.409-07:002009-11-08T04:56:35.409-07:00Like another reader, I have to admit, sheepishly, I have never read Austen. However, my mother talks about a Mr. Darcy character, so I guess I would have to claim him as my favorite.<br /><br />Ms. Odiwe&#39;s book looks like it would be a great book not only on its own, but as a way of introduction to Austen-esque books.<br /><br />(I have, however, read and liked the following--what I guess would be deemed romances--Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights, and Adam Bede by George Eliot. Also some Thomas Hardy. Just missed Austen somehow.)<br /><br />Thanks for the great competition, and good luck to all!<br />LeighLAR1975http://www.blogger.com/profile/15223891408003341203[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1263361198169334187.post-89274160781726205662009-11-07T10:55:38.837-07:002009-11-07T10:55:38.837-07:00Darcy is my favorite Austen hero. I think what clinched it for me was when he helped to find Elizabeth&#39;s sister when she so scandalously ran off with Wickham. :)Katyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14176612881975170987[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1263361198169334187.post-47688440591930956772009-11-06T22:12:54.033-07:002009-11-06T22:12:54.033-07:00I&#39;m going to have to go with Captain Wentworth.

I have a brother-in-law like Mr. Knightly married to my sister who is an Emma. I see this relationship within a modern framework I guess.<br />Love Austen and loved the guest post!<br /><br />rubymoonstone at gmail dot comrubymoonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00966134340651884621[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1263361198169334187.post-89195971446553639592009-11-03T15:58:35.523-07:002009-11-03T15:58:35.523-07:00I like George Knightly in Emma -- he&#39;s a mature gentleman and handled Emma perfectly! <br /><br />delilah0180(at)yahoo(dot)cometirvhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02081541541853441228[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1263361198169334187.post-30633344703228141192009-11-03T14:26:33.918-07:002009-11-03T14:26:33.918-07:00Mary D<br />zenrei57 (at) hotmail (dot) com<br /><br />In all absolute honesty, I&#39;ve never read any of Austen&#39;s novels, although I certainly intend to someday soon - but since I am unfamiliar, the only character I can say would be my &#39;favorite&#39; would be this Mr. Willoughby because he sounds like a yummy &#39;bad boy&#39; lol<br /><br />ps - I, too was unfamiliar with Google Alert and I&#39;m going to check it out asap.

One I really admire, however, is Mr. Knightley from Emma because he&#39;s such an upstanding guy who isn&#39;t afraid to call Emma to task when she is ridiculing others for sport.<br /><br />MargayMargayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15490126898758440254[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1263361198169334187.post-74638786139512744132009-11-03T00:02:29.009-07:002009-11-03T00:02:29.009-07:00Hi Jaime and Everyone,<br />Thank you so much for inviting me along and for the lovely post - I&#39;ve really enjoyed all your comments and your kindness!<br /><br />I have some competitions running on my blog over the next fortnight which are open worldwide - hope to see you there!<br /><br />http://www.janeaustensequels.blogspot.com/Jane Odiwehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10712868693656060688[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1263361198169334187.post-16244982658120838062009-11-02T19:03:41.659-07:002009-11-02T19:03:41.659-07:00Hi Anonymous,<br /><br />I am sorry about the restrictions, and this is not the restriction of the author or myself, it is the publisher&#39;s requirement. I certainly understand your frustration and I am exactly sure but I would guess this has to do with shipping costs out of the U.S.Jaimehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12317569071247428560[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1263361198169334187.post-1260376052224798362009-11-02T18:52:44.477-07:002009-11-02T18:52:44.477-07:00My favourite hero? Captain Frederick Wentworth RN. <br />However, not much use telling you this as your competition is only open to US &amp; Canadian residents. Australia once again seems be beyond the beyond. I don&#39;t know how many author comps I have found that have this as the first requirement.

However, I haven&#39;t read all the books yet (horrors!). I&#39;ve taken some of those goofy, &quot;Which Austen character are you??&quot; quizzes, and I usually get pegged as a Fanny Price.
