false 83221 5 This sexy, epic, hilarious, poignant and romantic sequel to Pride and Prejudice goes far beyond being a Jane Austen sequel. It's Tom Jones meets Jane Austen meets Georgiana, the Duchess of Devonshire, with essence of Scarlett O'Hara and the Wife of Bath thrown in. <P>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. <P>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. <P>The book was self-published in 1999, with more than 10,000 copies sold. Here is what some readers are saying about Mr. Darcy Takes a Wife: "Pure pleasure...this book is so much fun I recommend it heartily." "Wow, Darcy! I could not put it down." "Tremendous-I didn't want it to end!" 80353 1999 Mr. Darcy Takes a Wife: Pride and Prejudice Continues total:2070|5:415|4:560|3:538|2:295|1:262| 2070 6781 2993 603 0 21 true true Fri Feb 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Wed Mar 05 21:17:03 -0800 2008 Thu Mar 06 18:48:08 -0800 2008 Pride and Prejudice.

Written in a Jane Austen-esque style, this book was completely UN Austen as they get.
