What readers are saying "Whoa, Darcy!" "Some parts are hilarious and some a walk on the wild side for Austen characters. Curl up and enjoy!" "Tells the tale I always wanted to hear...how the Darcys lived happily ever after..." "The only fault I found with this book was that it ended." Every woman wants to be Elizabeth Bennet Darcy-beautiful, gracious, universally admired, strong, daring and outspoken-a thoroughly modern woman in crinolines. And every woman will fall madly in love with Mr. Darcy-tall, dark and handsome, a nobleman and a heartthrob whose virility is matched only by his utter devotion to his wife. Their passion is consuming and idyllic-essentially, they can't keep their hands off each other-through a sweeping tale of adventure and misadventure, human folly and numerous mysteries of parentage. Hold on to your bonnets! This sexy, epic, hilarious, poignant and romantic sequel to Pride and Prejudice goes far beyond Jane Austen.

Mr. Darcy Takes a Wife

Look…I was really excited when I found this book because I love P&P and Lizzy and Darcy. But this was like eating chalk. I got through 150 pages and had to stop. There are so many characters and side plots going on in this that I just do not care about. I found myself asking myself “Why do I care, though?” way too often. The book doesn’t know if it’s a comedy or a tragedy, the tone is all over the place. The main characters do/say things to each other that are way out of character for who they’re supposed to be. The vocabulary/language also took me out of the story, I could not get through the old-timey English dirty talk without cringing. Nothing about this  was fun to me.

I didn't hate this book as much as the reviews here made me thing I would! Some parts are kind of fun - like the bits with Mr. Collins, some are insane - like when we find out what Darcy will do when someone messes with Elizabeth, some are just boring - like the whole last part of the book. The raunchy parts were a bit TMI for me. And some of the chapters from servants point of view (which disappear at the end of the book) are skippable. I liked P.D. James' take on what happens after P&P much better!
