Mr. Darcy Takes a Wife: The sexiest Austen-inspired novel that has readers talking

You thought Bridgerton was steamy? Well hold on to your bonnets! This sexy, epic, hilarious, and romantic sequel to Pride and Prejudice goes far beyond Jane Austen fanfiction to give the curious reader a titillating taste of how it would feel to be Mrs. Darcy.

Every woman wants to be Elizabeth Bennet Darcy—beautiful, gracious, universally admired, strong, daring, and outspoken—a thoroughly modern woman in crinolines.

And every woman will fall madly in love with Mr. Darcy—tall, dark, and handsome, a nobleman and a heartthrob whose virility is matched only by his utter devotion to his wife.

Their passion is consuming and idyllic—essentially, they can't keep their hands off each other—through a sweeping tale of adventure and misadventure, human folly, and numerous mysteries of parentage.

Keep your smelling salts handy: this steamy bonnet-ripper is Austen like never before.

What Readers Are Saying:

"I found myself up until 3AM because I couldn't stop and have read it again and again."

"Who says Jane Austen can't be literate AND sexy... I just kept envisioning Colin Firth all hot and sweaty."

"A lady needs to have a fan and her smelling salts at hand to read this modern day sequel to Pride and Prejudice."

"This is probably my favorite feel-good book; I end up giggling in almost every chapter"

"I am reading it for the 8th time since I bought it four years ago."

"It's the love story we hoped for Lizzy and Darcy. The writing is witty, the language superb and I have gone back to this book many times when I simply didn't have anything else on hand!"

Ratings and reviews

As much as I love P&P, as well as other telling's of the original, this one was to much too pass the first few pages. It seemed as if the author was trying to hard, put down the thesaurus.

One of my all time favorite romances. No better sequel written.

Definitely a guilty pleasure. Enjoyable from start to finish!

About the author

Researching her bestselling novels Mr. Darcy Takes a Wife and Darcy & Elizabeth, author Linda Berdoll was surprised and delighted by the euphemisms she turned up--most of them of an insulting nature. Berdoll compiled them here to entertain and enlighten. She lives on a pecan farm in Del Valle, Texas, with her husband.
