Mr. & Mrs. Fitzwilliam Darcy: Two Shall Become One

Well this book was packed full of romance! Although I could tell that it was not from Austen herself, it was amusing to fuse together how the story continued in another persons mind. I was disappointed that Pride and prejudice never had a sequel. So this book (and the two that follow) are enough to fill that void I've had. So if you are a romance buff, and loved the ideas of Jane Austen, then I say this book is for you.

Mrs. Lathan has written a deeply passionate, beautiful and light-hearted fun novel on the life of Mr. and Mrs. Darcy where Pride & Prejudice left off. Being someone who is well read when it comes to the sequels of Jane Austen's famous novel, I consider this book among the very best. Jane Austen's original characters are joined by some new ones who are witty, fun, loveable, warm, loyal, and altogether captivating. I'm shocked to read so many negative comments about this story. My advice to everyone who loves Pride & Prejudice, read this book for yourself and I know you'll come to love it as much as I and a lot of others have. Remember you have the opportunity to search the book and read passages before you purchase which will serve to only confirm what I have already told you, this is a wonderful story.

If the 2005 movie version of Pride and Prejudice starring Keira Knightley and Matthew MacFadyen left you wanting more then this is the book for you. I loved that movie and I wanted more especially what happenend after Mr. Bennett gave Lizzy his blessing and it is in this book! I loved the flashbacks in this book. It is very romantic and I do think this is how Mr. Darcy would have treated Lizzy after marriage! It was not written to be a sequel to Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. I have read a lot of the fanfiction books and this is one of my favorites! I have even reread it a few times! It is a wonderful book and you should give it a try!

Sharon Lathan's book the Two Shall Become One is a must read!! After reading Pride and Prejudice, and seeing the on-screen movie I was excited to find a book that continues the wonderful story of Mr. & Mrs. Fitzwilliam Darcy so beautifully. The Two Shall Become One portrays Darcy & Elizabeth's honeymoon days through their first six months of marriage. The portrayals of their tender moments together of getting to know each other on so many different levels will have you smiling, blushing, laughing, weeping, and put you directly on the edge of your seat in anticipation of what happens next. Their loved is expressed throughout the pages of this book in such a beautiful, adoring, and passionate way. You will experience Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy's characters grow in their love and understanding of each other though many precious moments of affection, learning, and even though some turmoil along the way. In fact, you will learn a new depth to each of the characters, including Ms. Georgianna Darcy and the wonderful staff of Pemberly. The descriptions of the sceneries make you feel as if you can picture being there. Another thing that I love about this book it that there are several flashbacks to moments that occurred in their past during their engagement. The way Sharon portrays many of these moments playing out is truly wonderful.....especially their first kiss after they have become engaged. Don't miss out on this wonderfully written story.....grab a coffee, pillow and get comfortable because you won't want to put it down!

Begininning directly where the 2005 movie version leaves off, Two Shall Become One tells the story of the marriage and growing relationship of Fitzwilliam and Elizabeth Darcy. In this sequel, we get a glimpse into the private lives of Mr. Darcy and his new bride. The scenes are intimate and personal. There are a lot of romantic and intimately sexy scenes - because we are reading about a newly married couple who are deeply and passionately in love with one another. The characters in this sequel have that same raw and realistic quality that we get in the 2005 movie version directed by Joe Wright. This is not a sequel for the average Janite. Two Shall Become One takes the character Miss Austen created to a new level - making them more easily related to and more personal. This is also not your average Pride and Prejudice sequel. This Darcy is a man of passion and character as opposed to a man with a sordid past. Elizabeth is a loving and unrestrained new bride who enjoys being a newly married woman. This is a book about the beginning of a brand new marriage that is full of ardor and devotion - a great example of what a marriage ought to look like! If you loved the 2005 movie version, you will love this book. If you are looking for a glimpse into what the personal lives of Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth might be like, this is the book for you!
