Book Reviews of Darcy & Elizabeth: Nights and Days at Pemberley (Pride & Prejudice Continues)
Book Review: A Misfire
Summary: 2 Stars
If you are looking for a soft-core porn version of something that mildly resembles P&P, this is the book for you. I'm not adverse to sex and lust and all that good stuff in a book, bring it on, but use it judiciously and to aid the plot. Not so here, sex and more sex ,or discussions about sex are used liberally as filler in this too long novel. The book has a hastily pulled together feel, as if the author was in a rush to capitalize on the success of her first book, thus rushing out the sequel only half baked. There is a great deal of real estate dedicated to rehashing the original P&P back-story as well as territory covered in the first sequel.
The plot never gets off the ground. Every man on the scene falls deeply in love with Elizabeth. Darcy and Elizabeth simply cannot control their mind-boggling lust for each other and proceed to rut all over almost every page in excruciating detail. The story seriously bogs down in the middle, drags on, and then quickly wraps up. I would like to suggest that the author take a break from the P&P characters. Except for Georgiana, she seems to have exhausted her enthusiasm and ideas for them; they seem exaggerated and forced. There is definitely a great book or series lurking inside of Linda Berdoll's head. At times some of her pacing and humor vaguely reminded me of Diana Gabaldon's excellent "Outlander" series, but it seems misplaced within the confines of P&P. Glimpses of great stuff here and there, but overall a misfire.
