The Darcy Series #1 Mr. & Mrs. Fitzwilliam Darcy: Two Shall Become One

Darcy and Elizabeth are deeply in love with one another and extremely thrilled to begin their marriage after their exciting wedding day. The courtship was emotional; filled with lots of misunderstandings and doubts that nearly tore them apart. Now that they have experienced all the bad things that go with a substantial relationship, their trust, joy, and attraction in each other grow every day. Both Mr. Darcy and his young wife have undergone broad naivety and innocence, sharing moments of coyness and boldness as they discover deeper intimacies that newlyweds experience. As the love narrative unfolds, the two lovebirds discover their deepest secrets and feelings, accepting each other in a union filled with romance, excitement, and drama. Sharon Lathan does a fantastic job of visualizing Mr. Darcy to a wedding and introducing Elizabeth to her new title as the Mistress of Pemberley.

The plot is superbly written and quite reminiscent of the original book. Some parts revealed modernized characteristics creating mixed feelings as some plots move from steamy bedroom scenes to more reasonable ones around a dinner conversation. Sharon boldly describes a man as “beautiful” when referring to his attire and overall demeanor… Somewhat strange to comprehend such phrases in this era. “Two Shall Become One” tries to explain a relationship grounded on traditional concepts of love such as trust, honesty, and communication. As such, Elizabeth and William have had their fair share of misunderstandings; it can only get better as the two inseparable characters wean their young marriage.

The book drags on with multiple pages of lovey dovey drab such as my dearest love, my treasure, my lover, I love you, and a continuous pattern of sex scenes with every turn of the page .The gushy love expressions are okay once in a while, but in every conversation makes it too ordinary and bland when served frequently. The couple seems to be enjoying life, living large in a somewhat extended honeymoon after eight months of marriage. We see a limitless expenditure of resources and overly rated sex life, and Lizzy’s perfect husband who is smart, funny, and enjoyable in every way.

Overall, the book is terrific, the love between Darcy and Elizabeth surpasses all, and Lathan has maintained the balance and made it the focal point of the story line.

Darcy and Lizzy are the personifications of true love and sacrifice as Lathan first visualized them and brought it to life .she also demonstrates in the book series how couples ought to treat each other, with perfect tenderness and understanding. It seems annoying to have the characters repeatedly express their feelings and compassion towards each other. But it seems the central theme of the entire series. Love and even more love.
