Mr. Darcy has become synonymous with the romantic leading man. Even though he "lived" over two-hundred years ago, many traits that make Darcy an endearing romantic lead live on today's romances. In this episode, I discuss Darcy's traits and share a few modern romances that I feel have Darcy-esque leading men.
