It hints at to let the reader know that they are romantic but doesn't go into detail, which is more in Jane Austen's class I would assume Natalie I suggest reading Mr. Darcy presents his bride! it is truly a great book and great follow up, there were some tragedies along the way but i loved this book entirely, and there’s no described sex scenes.

Absolutely agree with the opinion and review. I am obviously a fan of Ms Austen books and only recently enraptured with all the Pride&Prejudice sequels and variations, not because of their high quality but quite the contrary. However while reading all these "Harlequin romances" I was totally amused because of the odd characters, circumstances and stories sometimes so much fabricated in order to create a possibility to put our beloved Elizabeth and Darcy together in one bed. At least Linda Berdoll makes it far amusing than all the others and except the total sexual mania and not very original story I found that her Lizzy and Darcy are (in my opinion only) at most themselves and I think only Linda Berdoll could fairly use the name "witty" for her main characters and dialogs.

I remember I ordered the self-published version of her book, which was under the title "Bar Sinister," through Amazon. I was so excited to read it. It was likely due to my high expectations for this romance that I was left so disappointed. To me, 'Mr.Darcy takes a wife' was nothing more than a bawdy Harlequin romance with its flat characters replaced by Darcy and Elizabeth. But this isn't to say that it was no fun to read...!!

I can't wait to read the sequel, but I'm afraid it will ruin my view of Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth. Does the author stay true to the Austen view of the characters? Could it be said that it is so well written that (were she alive to day) Austen herself could have written it? Taking into account modern day views on....er....relationships, of course.

The Bridget Jones' interview of Colin Firth popped into my mind. I almost fell of my chair from laughing. The Bridget Jones’ interview of Colin Firth popped into my mind.

I think it's wonderful that you are reading Pride and Prejudice!! It is indeed the same Darcy and Elizabeth in this book. I don't know however, if it's appropriate for someone your age, so check with a parent or teacher to see what they think. It's a pretty adult book in that it deals pretty graphically with sex. I would recommend that you keep reading Jane Austen. Northanger Abbey or Mansfield park are great too! Good luck and happy reading. Hi Natalie, Thanks for reading.
