    Modern Day Mr. Darcy: Darcy Traits that Live on in Popular Romance Fiction

    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. Do you have other thoughts about Darcy or modern-day romance heroes similar to Darcy? Let me know on the Illicit Liaison podcast page at SwoonworthyHEA.com
