I have devoured a large number of Pride and Prejudice sequels but this one is, by far, the worst one I have ever read. I finished the book, primarily because I had paid good money to buy it but I can't imagine I will be reading it again.
There first thing which grated was that Mr Darcy had totally lost his character and backbone and had become a limp lettuce. I love a good romance but I reached overload with the gushing "my love" and (by way of a change) "my beloved", with which Lizzie and Darcy punctuated every sentence. I began to feel that the author had nothing else to say and those phrases were there to fill the pages.
That brings me to the other issue: where, or what, was the plot? If there was one, it certainly passed me by. I suppose the book could be summed up as a diary of Darcy and Elizabeth's daily life covering a few months. The other P&P characters turned up, in varying degrees; other, new, characters appeared; throw in the odd caustic comment and a few tears and there you have it.
Oh, and while I am having a moan, I also found the 'Americanisms' jarred, with phrases like 'negative attitude' and 'hold that thought' removing any belief in the period setting.

I love Elizabeth and Mr Darcy. They are my favourite literary characters and Pride and Prejudice leaves you to make up your own mind about the future Mr & Mrs Darcy and what sort of life (and love) they would have.
This book, however, spoon-feeds you so much 'deep and heart-felt love and devotion' between Lizzy and Darcy that by the time you have waded through the first few paragraphs you have begun to hate them! Reach the end of the book and you positively loathe them! There is no strife or misunderstanding. They are attuned in everything they say and do. They love each other to distraction (mine and theirs it turns out!) and every page tells you just how much they love each other.
What I am trying to say is that if you are looking for hundreds of pages of 'I love you my Lizzy' followed by 'I love you more my William' then buy the book. However if you are looking for a continuation of the beautifully written story that is Pride and Prejudice then this isn't the book for you. And unfortunately it wasn't the book for me either!

I was hoping the book will be as sweet as the other Pride and Prejudice sequels I have read. What a huge disappointment. The book does not have the sweetness and innocence of Jane Austen and other books I read. After going through 1/3 of the book, I could not handle 'oh God/Lord, how I love you', or 'I want you' present in almost each page, or the description of 'how ardent our lovemaking is' or how one character arouses the other. It became so boring. It was a great struggle to get to the end. It seems that the author missed the point, lacking content/ideas/creativity to fulfill the pages. I do not recommend the book to anyone who likes Jane Austen or romantic novels.
