Delay after delay...Get me to the church on time

Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2016

Murphy’s Law is the premise here: Darcy is acting like a love struck fool, overjoyed and paying little attention to where he is going. He is dreaming of Elizabeth and his plans to approach Mr. Bennet the next day to ask for his approval and blessing in ODC’s engagement. Elizabeth has the task of convincing Mr. Bennet to delay the family’s return to Longbourn for one day…the day Darcy must use to gain that approval.

But as I said Murphy’s Law reigns supreme. I don’t want to give away all that goes wrong but it is multi-layered and involves more than one person of their acquaintance as well as a new person. Jane and Charles Bingley are off on their honeymoon so they are not on hand to support their “sister” and dear friend. You will learn some secrets from Mr. Bennet’s past as well and that of Lady Matlock (Euphemia). The story description does relate that there is opposition from a surprising quarter and that an engagement announcement for Mr. Darcy is announced in the papers. Then there is Caroline Bingley with a bit of luck. Wickham…what is about him showing up in the most unexpected places and ways? Didn’t he go off to war?

We do have our happy ending and even with Darcy not presenting as quite the same character we know in canon I found this to be an enjoyable short read.

I thoroughly enjoyed this story. It can be read as a stand alone, but is better is better if it is read as the third in the trilogy. It is so frustrating having Mr. Bennet against the marriage of Elizabeth and Darcy and not giving his consent. Even though Elizabeth is of age to make her choice, I am glad Darcy proved himself. I enjoyed meeting the new character Travis, as he has an important role at the beginning of the story. A few old and new characters show up to cause mischief. I enjoyed haw the story came together and how some characters got their just desserts. I found that the story had a nice flow, and of course, the HEA we have been anticipating. The fun is in how we get there. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and highly recommend it.

Too much

Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2017

Verified Purchase

I wasn't a huge fan of this book and the two others in the series. lt felt like there were too many ideas and plot lines being thrown at the reader at once. It just made the story very choppy. Every character in the book was very wishy washy. Constant back and forths that weren't ever really expanded on. I didn't like how weak Darcy was in this book. In everything he did, he just wasn't the same strong personality (with that loveable soft spot) we've all come to love. I understand that we are all fools in love but even how he handles his valet was not true to that strict, prideful Darcy manner.

ODC's byzantine path to the altar makes for a very interesting tale, though they are engaged from the first page. There is an unexpected happy ending for another couple. Or perhaps it is instead a new beginning.
This is the 3rd book in a wonderful series. I recommend reading them in order, beginning with Mr. Darcy's Pledge.

I loved this third book of the trilogy

Reviewed in the United States on June 26, 2016

I loved this third book of the trilogy. Mr Darcy and Elizabeth are back again as the characters we have got to know and love. The suspense is strong as we watch Elizabeth and Mr Darcy trying to overcome the barriers that keep coming in the way of their happiness. Throughout the novel other characters continue to develop such as Georgiana and Miss De Bourgh. This was a very enjoyable read, I highly recommend it.

Like everything written by Monica Fairview, I adored it. Her characterizations of Darcy and Elizabeth are always so fascinating. I had not read the first two books in the series, but to find Darcy and Elizabeth on the brink of their engagement...an engagement that Mr. Bennet is trying to delay if not completely destroy because of his own pride, was indeed intriguing enough to push ahead and see what happens, even if I didn't have the complete backstory. I'm glad I did. :)

I really liked the story. Thanks for the pleasure, Monica.

Well, I thought it was a delightful book, aside from the very few grammatical issues. It was an entirely new twist to me even after reading hundreds and hundreds of P&P variations and sequels. I have liked Monica Fairview from her very early days of publishing tales of Darcy and Elizabeth and hope there will be many more stories from her in the near future.

Best of the trilogy

Reviewed in the United States on February 23, 2017

Monica Fairview's trilogy wraps up in this novel. While the first two in the series were a little slower and contained some implausible ideas, the payoff happens in this final book. The plotting is pretty good, and the reimagined back story for Mr. Bennett is a particular treat.

The path to true love never runs smoothly.

Reviewed in Canada on October 7, 2016

This is the final book in the trilogy of the Darcy Novels. At the end of Volume II, Mr. Darcy's Challenge, Darcy has finally secured Elizabeth Bennet's consent to marriage. As Volume III begins, Darcy needs to request Mr. Bennet's consent before they can announce their engagement. Unfortunately, in Mr. Darcy's euphoric haze, he is incapacitated leaving Elizabeth in doubt. All I kept saying to myself was 'No, no, no, this can't be happening! The poor man just can't win! The path to true love never runs smoothly.

In this volume, we get Elizabeth's perspective along with Darcy's and Georgiana's. I felt their doubts and especially their frustrations. At times, I was just a bit frustrated with the hindrances thrown at them. I was thrilled with the appearance of Colonel Fitzwilliam with his sage advice to deal with the impediments:

"No a battle, Darcy, A skirmish. Maneuvers. Pick them off one by one. When Darcy continued to look at him in puzzlement, he laughed. I have not lost my mind, Darcy, never fear. I am speaking of a metaphorical battle. A game of posturing. A courtship dance. What you will have to do, my dear cousin, to resolve this issue once and for all, is to throw a House Party."

All in all I enjoyed the conclusion but felt some of the plot lines were not fully closed/developed or closed to neatly and the ending just a bit short. I would like to see further development of Georgiana, Mrs. Fortin (Colonel Becknell), Kitty and even Mr. Travis and Caroline Bingley...hint, hint, nudge, nudge?

started off well but became a little dull

The first two books were fun, but halfway through the last book I feel the author gave up. Happily ever after but there was a lot of boring interlude to get there!

I thoroughly enjoyed all of this series. They are beautifully written and not a single mistake or Americanism in sight. Which cannot be said for most Darcy what if books.

Greatly disappinted

I bought this book because of the rave reviews and was sorely disappointed. I didn't like the style of writing but mostly I found Darcy totally unbelievable! That he would roam around the seamy underbelly of London after dark with no idea where he was because he was daydreaming of Elizabeth seems most unlikely to me and then what follows his predictable knock on the head is like an episode from the 'Keystone Cops'.
I much prefer Pamela Lynne's Darcy, someone to bowl me over and cherish me ... not this milk sop, 'Frank Spencer' type of guy. I went straight to book 3 though I briefly considered starting with book 1, thank goodness I didn't.
