Mr. Darcy Takes a Wife: Pride and Prejudice Continues
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
Mr. Darcy Takes a Wife: The sexiest Austen-inspired novel that has readers talking
You thought Bridgerton was steamy? Well hold on to your bonnets! This sexy, epic, hilarious, and romantic sequel to Pride and Prejudice goes far beyond Jane Austen fanfiction to give the curious reader a titillating taste of how it would feel to be Mrs. Darcy.
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.
Keep your smelling salts handy: this steamy bonnet-ripper is Austen like never before.
What Readers Are Saying:
"I found myself up until 3AM because I couldn't stop and have read it again and again."
"Who says Jane Austen can't be literate AND sexy... I just kept envisioning Colin Firth all hot and sweaty."
"A lady needs to have a fan and her smelling salts at hand to read this modern day sequel to Pride and Prejudice."
"This is probably my favorite feel-good book; I end up giggling in almost every chapter"
"I am reading it for the 8th time since I bought it four years ago."
"I laughed, I cried, and I blushed!"
"It's the love story we hoped for Lizzy and Darcy. The writing is witty, the language superb and I have gone back to this book many times when I simply didn't have anything else on hand!"
"If you want to know what happens to Darcy and Elizabeth after they are married and uncensored, this is the book for you!"

- content: "I loved Mr. Darcy Takes a Wife, and I want more! And being the lucky girl I am, there's more, because Berdoll has written a sequel to this sequel. I will be continuing the exciting story of Darcy and Elizabeth in Darcy & Elizabeth: Nights and Days at Pemberley. I can't wait!"

- content: "This is such a treat for Pride and Prejudice fans. There is the perfect balance between the continuation of a wonderful story with visits from lovable characters (or characters that you love to hate). The story ends on a cliffhanger, but as I have mentioned, there is a sequel to this sequel.
I highly recommend Mr. Darcy Take a Wife. It's not too often that we get to find out what happens next, and Berdoll does an admirable job of continuing a wonderful story."

Inspired by the BBC/A&E production of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, Berdoll self-published this sequel as The Bar Sinister in 1999. Now her first novel has found new life with Sourcebooks. It begins the day after Darcy and Elizabeth's wedding and follows the couple through the ups and downs of married life. Other major Austen characters also appear-Elizabeth's sisters Jane and Lydia, as well as Bingley and the charmingly detestable Wickham. Berdoll has done a remarkable job of capturing the flavor of the original characters, who behave in ways that would have met Austen's approval. Unfortunately, in trying to duplicate Austen's prose style, Berdoll is at times too obtuse and flowery, making her book more difficult to follow than Jane Austen's. Still, while there have been other Pride and Prejudice sequels (e.g., Janet Aylmer's Darcy's Story; Jane Dawkins's Letters from Pemberley), this one, with its rich character development, has been the most enjoyable. Strongly recommended for popular fiction and romance collections.-Carrie A. Herrmann, Boone Cty. P.L., Union, KYCopyright 2004 Library Journal, LLC Used with permission.

This rollicking sequel to Jane Austen's " Pride and Prejudice " was originally self-published in 1999 as " The Bar Sinister." In Berdoll's wild, bawdy, and utterly enjoyable novel, the Darcys begin their married life as one of the happiest, most in-love couples imaginable. Berdoll picks up the story after their wedding, but flashes back to the days after the courtship, when Elizabeth and Darcy's passion for each other grew stronger. After a spicy wedding night, the couple finds their compatibility extends far beyond their matched wits. As Elizabeth settles into her role as mistress of a large household, her sister Jane grapples with her own, less passionate marriage to Charles Bingley. Thrown in as well are an illegitimate young man who just might be Darcy's son, a vengeful serving man who plagues the Darcys and develops an unhealthy fixation on Elizabeth, and suspicions of infidelity. Austenites who enjoy the many continuations of her novels will find much to love about this wild ride of a sequel, especially Berdoll's depiction of the enduring, strong love between Elizabeth and Darcy.
