Darcy and Elizabeth's Untold Story at its Best!

As always, Sharon did not disappoint with this latest book in her Darcy Saga series. Filled with the love, admiration, and passion we all know Darcy and Elizabeth to have for one another, plus a fantastic bundle of English history, this book was one I couldn't put down. Telling Darcy and Elizabeth's story like only Sharon can, I wholeheartedly recommend this duo of books, plus her amazing continuation from the wedding night to years afterwards. I'm looking forward to re-reading those next! Excellent writing, Sharon. Thank you for perfectly depicting my favorite couple!

Hope for the Future

It took me a full week to read this book. I had been looking forward to this book but
I was so disappointed. I love this author so I had to think many times about reviewing this
book as I felt. I have all her books and this is the only one I did not feel was great.

Between Darcy and Elizabeth's engagement and their wedding, this was just a filler. I
have no other words. The sex portrayed for this time was too drawn out.

I usually call this kind of book as a book with too many words. The descriptions went on and on.
The fun in reading is imagining these things ourselves.
Please bring back the old Sharon.

Dedicated Fan

Just love Sharo Lathan's continuing story of Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet! I have read all her books several times. If you want a good saga to read this is it. She is one of my favorite authors. This story continues after the engagement and up to the Wedding.

Couldn't put it down!

Why can't we give 10 stars? Of all the Pride and Prejudice variations I have read, these characters seem the most like Jane Austen's. You could easily read Pride and Prejudice, then go right on reading book one of this prequel, and the rest of the Darcy Saga.

Loved It!

Having been a fan of Sharon's work for some time now, I eagerly anticipated the release of this book and I wasn't disappointed! It was truly a pleasure to read and flowed seamlessly with her other books. It is obvious in reading her books that she is very knowledgable about the time period from clothing to customs to architecture and it adds such a wonderful depth to her novels. While there were a few small typos, it did not detract from the flow or the story in any way. Sharon's detailed description of even the smallest facts helps the reader to really immerse themselves in the story and truly make this book a joy to read. Hopefully she will continue to pen her wonderful stories for us to enjoy, perhaps even exploring the story of the Bingleys.
