About this ebook

A Tale of Two Gentlemen's Marriages to Two Most Devoted Sisters

Three days before their double wedding, Charles Bingley is desperate to have a word with his dear friend Fitzwilliam Darcy, seeking advice of a most delicate nature. Bingley is shocked when Darcy gives him a copy of an ancient, illustrated book of sensual secrets—but it does tell him everything he needs to know.

Eventually, of course, Jane finds this remarkable volume and in utmost secrecy shows it to her dear sister Elizabeth, who goes searching for a copy in the Pemberley library...

By turns hilarious and sweet, The Darcys & the Bingleys follows the two couples and the cast of characters surrounding them. Miss Caroline Bingley, it turns out, has such good reasons for being the way she is that the reader can't help but hold her in charity. Delightfully, she makes a most eligible match, and in spite of Darcy's abhorrence of being asked for advice, he and Bingley have a most enduring and adventure-prone friendship.

Ratings and reviews

All of Ms. Altman's books are like Crack. I don't like to admit that I have read them all and can't wait for the next one. In fact, Ms. Altman I need a fix. More stories about the 18th century idle rich please!

I'll look for more from this author. She tells the whole story, leaving her readers satisfied. She is true to the characters introduced so long ago by Jane Austen, while giving us the rest of the story' we've longed to read. I loved it.

I have read a few sequels to pride and prejudice and this by FAR my favorite! I just finished reading it and was extreamly pleased with it! I looked up and the sequels to this book and look foward to reading them
