This is a typical Wells read. If you read book 1 you are already aware of how in depth the author goes. One day can last multiple pages. I enjoyed it but I took breaks here and there. It could use some editing and still be a good read. Also, if you are a fan of the Darcy's keeping their privacy you will not get it here. You are up close and personal in all their escapes. Some might even think our couple are too sweet on each other. A 3 week separation brings Lizzy to tears and there are many scenes where Darcy is even shedding some of his own. I again found a brief break at times helped revive my spirits to continue forward.Our couple has already shared their vows in book 1 and in this one Jane, Bingley, Colonel Fitzwilliam, Mary, Kitty, Lydia, Mr. and Mrs. Bennet, Georgianna, and Caroline to name a few receive a make over. I liked each individual story split up in different chapters. I enjoyed seeing Darcy and Lizzy as parents and the little dramatic scenes tossed into spice it up. Wickham plays a desperate man trying to bring Darcy down. Caroline's story had a new twist. It really makes me want to go back and read book 1. I seen there is even a book 3. Enjoy!

Memory A Tale of Pride and Prejudice Trials to Bear Memory A Tale of Pride and Prejudice Book 2 edition by Linda Wells Romance eBooks Reviews
In these novels where P&P takes another route I like when Elizabeth are together against the world, that is the one thing I like about this story. However there are more things that gets to become too much to accept as part of that era.
The main stance of the books is that Elizabeth is perfect and the men are not afraid of saying it. The men envy Darcy, his ability to be a good Master of a big state, his beautiful and passionate wife and the fact that he is the ultimate mentor.
However, here are the things this story that could have been toned down.
1) Elizabeth is the perfect woman, she so incredibly beautiful (stunning!), passionate, and sexy, that nobody can or will be able to be as good as her. And she is only 18 years old.
2) Almost every male acknowledged their attraction for her to Darcy, even after they married other ladies. I really found that tiresome and wrong. Bingley is constantly telling Elizabeth of his love for her. He hugs her, kisses her in the cheeks (which is entirely wrong in that era) and then tells Darcy that he is graitful that he allows it. He claims that it brotherly love, seriously?
3) There too much of "I love you", "You are perfect", "You are the love of my live", etc.. why they need so much verbal reassurance when they have such active love life? Which by the way it takes easily one third of the book. Sex is good and sometimes details are fun, however, to have sex all the time in detail gets overdone and boring.
4) Everybody envy Elizabeth and Darcy's relationship. From Richard to the Viscount and others. It is ok to admire their relationship and maybe try to change theirs for improvement, however to have EVERYONE feeling the same disturbingly deep admiration and desire to have what they have, it actually demeans their relationship with their spouse. There is a scene where every male present declare who they let their opportunity to gain Elizabeth's favor and eventually marry her. One by one! You gotta be kidding me!
5) Going back to Elizabeth the perfect. She is only 18, turning 19, and she infallible. She has most of the answers for every problem.
I would have be able to like this books, the trilogy, if they were two years older, the same age that they were in the original P&P.
I do have a problem with Elizabeth being so young.
6) There are too many instances whereby E&D challenged property and get away with it. There are things that you can say ok that is nice, but there are others that are outrageously out of the question for that era. For the example, Darcy delivering his children, Elizabeth breastfeeding in front of others?
Rating MA graphic, explicit, descriptive sex scenes between a married couple.
This is a very long story… over 500 pages in book form and over 15 hours reading time for ebook. This is the second book of three, follows book one [Memory Lasting Impressions] and picks up where it left off. It too was a long read… as is book three [which I have already started]. Some call these un-put-down-able… and I would agree; however, you have to eat, sleep and do whatever you need to do, so you need to prepare for the long haul. Yes, there will be times when it drags a bit, or you hit a part where real life is being explained or described and you want the action… so you have to be ready for that. I hung in there and OMG!! The thrills and action were startling, shocking, and the pain of watching our dear couple struggle through those tough times will nearly break your heart.
“What greater thing is there for two human souls, than to feel that they are joined for life—to strengthen each other in all labor, to rest on each other in all sorrow, to minister to each other in all pain, to be one with each other in silent unspeakable memories at the moment of the last parting?” –George Eliot, Adam Bede
If you are a D&E junkie and love page-time between ODC [our dear couple], you will adore this. D&E were uninhibited in their loving, their time spent together and they do not answer to anyone but themselves. They are bold, brash, sexual, sensual in their interactions and oh-my-goodness… some of the scenes will steam the wallpaper off the wall. Help me! Whew… keep a fan or your salts handy. If… on the other hand, you do NOT like scenes with hot monkey sex against the wall … perhaps it would be better if you skipped this series. Just saying. No offense will be taken at all unless you trash the book in the reviews when you had been warned what you would be reading. That would not be fair. Just saying.
Journaling “Documenting little details of your everyday life becomes a celebration of who you are.” –Carolyn V. Hamilton, Art Improv 101 How to Create a Personal Art Journal
At first, I didn’t understand the importance of the journal entries. But then I realized that so much information was conveyed by the use of their reading each other’s journal. D&E are well known for their misunderstandings and this was a way for them to say what they wanted to say and the other person could read what they intended and it was so nice to see this played out. Many times, I had a better understanding of what was going on as I read journal entries from both perspectives. Well done on the use of this device to give the reader information.
Parenting “Each day of our lives we make deposits in the memory banks of our children.” –Charles R. Swindoll
Bennet What do the Bennet girls remember about how they were parented? Oh my… this will simply break your heart. Jane learned a lot about her mother’s advice in book one. I really felt for her. Such pressure and such bad advice nearly was the ruin of her. Lizzy survived her mother’s constant diatribe against her and did well in spite of her mother and her father. Yes, her father. Mary, Kitty and Lydia have their own stories and they too will reflect on how their parents formed and influenced them. It is sad as all that influence and advice comes home to roost and the piper has to be paid. Mr. Bennet feels it acutely and it nearly breaks him by book two. Mrs. Bennet, with her mean understanding, simply cannot understand what is going on with her girls. Foolish, foolish woman can’t see the inner beauty of her daughters for looking at the outward appearance. She is so focused on her comforts and future dwelling that she would match her daughter with a reprobate or a toad just to insure her security. Foolish… foolish woman.
Darcy we see a lot of his reflecting on his parents, and his grandparents. He knows his place in society and his responsibilities to his name and to his holdings, Darcy House and Pemberley, the servants and tenants. Once he sees Elizabeth Bennet though… he realizes that she is all he has ever wanted. They will have to fight for their rights to be together and to raise their child as they see fit. Georgiana, spoiled, coddled and raised as an only child, will have her own lessons to learn in book two. Her road will not be totally smooth as she if forced to rein in her behavior.
Bingley… we tolerated Caroline in book one when Darcy put his foot down big time. She was just an annoyance in book two. I liked Louisa and Hurst in this second book. They realized very quickly what was required of them and joined forces with their brother Charles in order to maintain their shaky place in society. Bingley was so immature and considered a puppy, he had much to learn. I kept wondering who he would be paired with in this story. I guess we will have to see in book three. He experienced a BIG misunderstanding with a lady at the end of book two so perhaps the wind is blowing in that direction.
Loved the Fitzwilliam family. Lady Catherine was forced into a situation that was to her liking. I love the de Bourgh family. Love them… and the lady he has his eye on. There were a lot of marriages in this book, and births. This was FAMILY… and I loved it… loved it.
Wickham and Mrs. Younge… wow! Totally wow on the angst meter. Blew it out of the water. OMG! Just when you think the coast is clear.
