Publisher Description
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.

"Ranked in my top five due to the depth of characters. The extension of some of my favorite characters in a deep married relationship. I am NOT a Jane Austen purist, and I love a good steamy book - this is certainly adult rated. But all within the bounds of a sweet marriage. Mmmmmmm."

Mr. Darcy Takes a Wife Listener Reviews
-
" Ridiculous and stupid. The characters were like robots, nothing like the originals. "
— Jamie, 2/2/2014 -
" The first third is almost entirely hot Darcy and Elizabeth sex. So...you can decide if that's a pro or a con for you. Parts 2 and 3 move into more standard sweeping Regency-era fare. Overall, sometimes hokey but frequently fun. "
— Kyle, 2/2/2014 -
" I thought this book was entertaining and fun. If you don't enjoy romance novels, then this probably isn't the book for you. Otherwise, let you imagination go wild and enjoy the read. "
— Synithia, 1/19/2014 -
" Wow! Linda Berdoll took the sacred Elizabeth and Darcy and put them in a bodice-ripper novel. A tad disturbing. "
— JAK, 1/19/2014 -
" I really enjoyed this book. It falls more in the silly romance category, but it is so fun to explore what might have happened. "
— Meghan, 1/17/2014 -
" I thought that this book was the perfect sequel Pride and Prejudice. The love between Mr Darcy and Elizabeth seems to grow more and more with each page. I can't wait to read the next one. "
— Lesha, 12/18/2013 -
" Berdoll writes third person omniscient, including omniscience of the sophisticated metacognition of her characters. "
— Anthony, 12/16/2013 -
" This book is in no way in character with Jane Austen's writing....there is some good plot on it's own but there is a lot of unnecessary raunchy content. "
— Maggie, 12/9/2013 -
" There are some slow parts, but overall good read. Who knew they had so much sex in the 1700s? "
— Heather, 11/14/2013 -
" Pride & Prejudice meets Smut City. A total guilty pleasure. "
— Ali, 10/17/2013 -
" anything about jane austen = love "
— Rita, 10/4/2013 -
" this is SUPPOSE to be funny folks! "
— Jacinda, 4/10/2013 -
" This book is funny, sexy and written with Austen flair. "
— Jean, 4/9/2013 -
" I enjoyed the effort of the continuation, but not the execution. The story lines put to all the characters are fun and fits them well. I didn't like that it seems to have followed 2005 Pride and Prejudice movie, since it only used those characters that made it into the movie only. "
— Tina, 12/29/2012 -
" I didn't get too far before deciding that the author didn't have the talent to really pull this off. If it were shorter, I may have stuck it out and finished, but there are so many better things to read. "
— Destinee, 12/19/2012 -
" What a sad read. I couldn't finish this book. It was like people wanted sex added to the romance of Elizabeth and Darcy. "
— Amy, 9/12/2012 -
" Kind of slow at times, but an interesting look at what might have been... "
— Tom, 5/21/2012 -
" Atrocious writing and total lack of understanding of the characters. Did she read Pride and Prejudice????? "
— Courtney, 4/13/2012 -
" A reread, just in the mood for more Elizabeth and Darcy, and second time around was fun, though I skimmed parts a bit more. Lots of drama, but most makes sense. "
— Obisbooks, 4/2/2012 -
" Read Pride & Prejudice first, and then read Linda Berdoll's "sequels". If you love Elizabeth Bennett and Mr. Darcy, then you'll love these books that imagine where they might have gone after their wedding. "
— Jeanne, 2/14/2012
About Linda Berdoll
Linda Berdoll is a self-described “Texas farm wife” whose interest in all things Austen was piqued by the BBC/A&E mini-series of Pride and Prejudice. Four years and much research later, her effort, Mr. Darcy Takes a Wife appeared, to the acclaim of readers and the horror of Jane Austen purists. She and her husband live on a pecan farm in Del Valle, Texas. Although she admits that she eloped in a manner similar to Lydia Bennet’s, to her great fortune it was with Darcy, not Wickham.
