** spoiler alert ** I just loved this book! It's definitely taking a place in my list of favorite P&P sequels/spinoffs!

If would like to see a humorous take on the characters of Pride & Prejudice, a book that doesn't take itself too seriously, and not to mention a story that leaves the reader at the door with regards to the various couples' bedroom activities, then you'll definitely enjoy it. Marsha Altman injects a good deal of humor and wit into the lives of the Darcys and the Bingleys in the time leading up to and after their marriages.

For anyone who might be concerned about the mention of the Kama Sutra on the back cover, don't be alarmed -- the book and its contents are only mentioned and/or alluded to. Nothing graphic is ever described.

I especially liked that Altman continued the theme from P&P of misadventures pertaining to marriage. For example, Darcy is called upon by Bingley to help him save Miss Bingley of all people from a possible rogue Scottish nobleman, and in the course of those events we learn that there actually is someone who can touch Miss Bingley's well-armored heart (though it was hardly the Scottish nobleman she was temporarily set on marrying, but instead a far better man).

A very lovely, light-hearted story.
