Darcy & Elizabeth: Nights and Days at Pemberley*

*INDEPENDENT PUBLISHER'S BOOK AWARDS - 1st Place HISTORICAL FICTION 2007.

From Booklist
Readers and writers can't let go of literary maven Jane Austen. In this latest addition to the canon of continuations featuring reticent yet passionate Mr. Darcy and his wife, the spirited Elizabeth, the happy couple is enjoying their new twin infants, their abundant estates, and their lust for each other.

 

In the first chapter alone, the author goes to great lengths, using the most civilized language, to describe Darcy's, well, length and his pent-up desire for his buxom spouse. Therein lies the plot, thin but entertaining, yet written with such mirth that readers won't care. Enticing backstories have been crafted for characters old and new. Shrewd villainess Lady de Bourgh and degenerate dilettante Wickham reappear to meddle in the lives of the happy couple.

Although the florid prose is packed with the historical details, descriptions, and familiar characters fans appreciate, the plot trots along at a good pace. A frothy historical dessert following a meaty entree of a classic, suitable for fans of Regency romance who don't mind a little spice.
