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. ( )
This is a book I think you will really like or really dislike. I come out on the second mainly because of one sex scene in the book I found totally abhorrent. And it is this scene that makes me remember reading this book. I love P P continuations but there are far better books out there this one well, if you want Austen sexed up, you might enjoy it. ( )
It is a truth universally acknowledged that any Pride and Prejudice sequel will be a complete disaster. But like every other former English major, I’m so fascinated by Mr. Darcy that I can’t stop reading the knockoffs.
I'm honestly ashamed that I skimmed the rest of the book after the first awful chapters. The writing is bad, first of all, as though the author did not even attempt to understand Jane Austen's time, characters, or writing style. In addition, the degradation of the characters of Elizabeth and Fitzwilliam Darcy is repugnant. Of course, it's a work of fanfiction, but it does not do justice to Miss Austen's beloved works, as some do, and, in my opinion, violates them completely. ( )
As plush a coach as it was, recent rains tried even its heavy srings. Hence the road to Derbyshire was betimes a bit jarring. Mr. Darcy, with all gentlemanly solicitousness, offered the new Mrs. Darcy a pillow upon which to sit to cushion the ride.

He spurred his horse past a plumed hat resting upon a sabre driven into the ground. Picking it up on the run, he pressed it upon his head then tapped it down. A small amusement crossed his mind and forced the corners of his mouth into an unseemly smile. He rode on.
