Mr. Darcy Takes a Wife

Pride and Prejudice Continues

De: Linda Berdoll

Narrado por: Rosalyn Landor

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.

Darcy's and Elizbeth's love continued..

If you could sum up Mr. Darcy Takes a Wife in three words, what would they be?

Read my Imagination

Who was your favorite character and why?

Elizabeth as she is still very strong and her personality remained true to the original character.

Have you listened to any of Rosalyn Landor’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No

Any additional comments?

This may be a little more edgy compared to the original book but if you've always wondered what ever happened to Elizabeth and Darcy this book is probably one of the best that captures your imagination and makes you believe in the story. I've read quite a number of these continuation stories and this one is by far the best one. I didn't much care for Jane and Bingley's story line though, but other than that this is a great book and very entertaining.

WOW!

Would you listen to Mr. Darcy Takes a Wife again? Why?

Yes and I have! I love the interaction between Darcy and Elizabeth (HOT!). The book gave you a more in-depth look into Darcy's personality.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Mr. Darcy Takes a Wife?

BOOTS! I could not believe Darcy never put two and two together. I must mention that "having sex while pregnant will scare the baby" was hilarious! Only Jane

What about Rosalyn Landor’s performance did you like?

Yes. Very nice job.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Both dealing with their own tragedies/depressions but was still able to find each which took their love to deeper levels.

Any additional comments?

Towards the end, the story got a bit long but overall I enjoyed every minute of it. I would recommend this to anyone. (Over the age of 18)

Enjoyed!

I enjoyed this story TREMENDOUSLY! I was so sad when i finished and frantically searched for the sequel. Unfortunately the author has no other audiobooks. In the beginning I wasn’t happy with narrator but by the 3rd chapter i became accustomed to her voice and rather enjoyed it. I hope the author decides to do the second book on audio soon!

A fitting "sequel"

I thoroughly enjoyed the story. The superb narration enhanced the experience for me. The characters came alive.

Not quite Austen, but a wonderful story

While the voice of the author is a little bit different than Jane Austen, the story itself is quite enjoyable and certainly makes you remember the characters of Elizabeth and Darcy from Jane Austen‘s novel.

Simply put - the Best

Absolutely a must read. This is my second time through and the first listening to it recorded. The author is extraordinarily witty - time after time. The reader is excellent!!!! I wasn’t a huge fan of her male voices, but her delivery is so beautifully done that it doesn’t matter. All of her voice inflections etc really fit beautifully. It’s a long and extremely involved story with tons of in-depth Darcy and Elizabeth time. If you don’t mind (or even appreciate) some exceedingly intimate / sensual moments, this is a bit to be missed book. It will stick with you, for sure. Lots of side stories make this a richly composed novel. Wish I had time to write more, but this will suffice for now. 10 stars.

Great Listen...but not for everyone!

I am an Austen lover and have dreamed of what happened after the wedding. While this book is not written in true Austen stlye and contains a great deal of bedroom activity. If you enjoy Eloisa James and Lisa Kleypas this book is for you! If you want a pruddish version...not so much. There are several story lines that I disagree with and think are not true to the characters (namely Bingley and Jane) but to each his own. I enjoyed it and will definitely pick it up again in the future. Please...if you are going to review this title read all the way through first.

Best follow up book I've read!

Great book, lots of sex but written in Jane Austen pen style which is a bit strange at first. Great plot, simply loved it!

Mr. D. Takes a. Nap

Mr. Darcy Takes a Wife was a good idea but to long.
The author tried to put in everything. The story would have been better at 4 or 5 hours.

Loved this book!

Loved it! Anxious to read more of the life of Mr Darcy and his wife.
