Editor's Notes and Comments:

Product Description:
When Elizabeth Bennett marries the brooding, passionate Mr. Darcy, she is thrown into the exciting world of London society. She makes a powerful friend in the Marchioness of Englebury but the jealousy among her ladyship's circle threatens to destroy Elizabeth's happiness. Elizabeth is drawn into a powerful clique for whom intrigue is the stuff of life and rivalry the motive, and her success, it seems, can only come at the expense of good relations with her husband. This novel also continues the stories of other favorite Pride and Prejudice characters including Georgiana Darcy and Kitty Bennett, each of whom have amusing adventures of their own. Told in the language of the era and bringing Regency society vividly to life, Mr. Darcy Presents His Bride recalls Austen's theme of the necessity of individual growth in the maintainance of lasting bonds.

Rated by buyers 2 out of 5 stars - JANE AUSTEN WANTABE!
I thought this was a silly book written in the style of Jane Austen. I could not get thru it!



Rated by buyers 3 out of 5 stars - worth reading
This book was not quite as good as darcy takes a wife, but it is still worth the read to finish this authors storyline.



Rated by buyers 3 out of 5 stars - P&P Lite - Could be much worse!!
A quick, light read. One of the better sequels only in that it didn't make me cringe in the characterizations or the language. For a pretty good way through the book I was hopeful that there would be a nice weaving together of the plot, to end with a delightful tapestry in the Austen way. Alas, it was not to be - ultimately, there's really not much story here. There are lots of new characters, at times difficult to keep straight. But it was nice to be with "the crew" again, and in desperate times (and with the absolute flood of terrible Austen sequels/prequels/Austen-as-detective/retelling from another character's point of view/supernatural/etc, etc, etc out there, these ARE desperate times), it fares tolerably well compared to some of the other muck.



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - A delightful page turner!
I absolutely loved this book -- it was everything I was hoping for. It picked up right where the original P&P left off. It was really as if Jane had written it herself. I couldn't put it down, at the same time not wanting it to end -- you know that kind of book! I'd like to read some additional P&P sequels but I don't want anything to spoil this for me. I'm hoping the author writes a sequel to this sequel.



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - A Very Good Sequel- at Last!
I have read several of the P&P sequels and find this to be the most faithful to the characterizations of the original. To be sure, there are differences as will occur in any sequel, but she manages to find the 'weak link' in P&P's story and uses it to its fullest. Probably it is not even something you particularly noticed in the original but, once addressed, you immediately recognize it and realize its truth. I found the final chapter which occurs some ten years later, a bit of a cop out and wish she would fill in those missing years, but I digress. Over all I enjoyed it immensely.
