Book Review of Mr. Darcy Takes a Wife: Pride and Prejudice Continues

Mr. Darcy Takes a Wife: Pride and Prejudice Continues
reviewed on
Helpful Score: 2


I own a copy of this book and its one paperback I am not going to swap. If you are expecting a book like jane austen would write forget about it, shes dead isn't she. I hapen to like that Berdoll doesn't try to copy Austen but writes in her own style and doesn't make any exscuses.

This book delievers on everything it promises. Life after the happily ever after. Berdoll addresses some very real issues of the time including infidelity, expectations of bearing heirs, and the overwhelming danger of childbirth.

I loved the tongue in check conversations between darcy and elizabeth but I was also pleasently surprised by Georgiana's story. The sex in this book is sizzaling, so if your an absolute prude don't pick up a copy. Also don't read this book if your expecting roses and rainbows and perfection of the Darsy's married life. They have their problems. But I think its why the book works so well. They are a real couple.
