Summary: (from goodreads.com)
In this lively second installment, the Darcys and Bingleys are plunged into married life and its many accompanying challenges presented by family and friends.
With Jane and Elizabeth away, Darcy and Bingley take on the daunting task of managing their two-year- old children. Mary Bennet returns from the Continent pregnant by an Italian student promised to the church; Darcy and Elizabeth travel to find the father, and discover previously unknown and shocking Darcy relations. By the time Darcy discovers that there's more than one sibling of questionable birth in the family, the ever-dastardly Wickham arrives on the scene to try to seize the Darcy fortune once and for all.

STAR RATING: 4/5
DESCRIPTION IN ONE LINE: Full of surprises at every single page.
Title: The title made me go DARCY BROTHERS!!!!!!! There were no Darcy brothers till now all of a sudden.....there has to be family secrets around here and that too messy ones. It is curious enough to pick it up and go through it.
Title Rating: 4/5
Cover: The cover shows me a serious fight going on between the Darcy Brothers...I supposed that as it ought to be something shocking.
Cover Rating: 4/5
Characters: Take a look at the complete list of characters here: P&P Continues Characters right here: The story has Darcy's two illegitimate brothers and honestly I liked the one so timid and faithful. As he hasn't seen the outer world he is so innocent that you can not want to not like him. Wichkam was a surprise in himself and had his moment of heroism which was not palatable to me. Mary who was the ideal child had a most surprising turn and the guy responsible was a mystery in itself.
Characters Rating:4/5
Review: The story takes the Darcy and emotionally stressed Elizabeth in order to protect the reputation of Elizabeth's sister Mary but they have no clue that they shall be discovering secrets which will change the entire sanctity of his father's image in Darcy's mind. Even though he is having a hard time believing things but he loves his brother immensely and is ready to go to any lengths to make him safe and tell the society his real identity. A real page turner and fast paced. I couldn't keep it down till I got to the very end.
Review Rating: 4/5
Appreciation: The book had unexpected twists and turns and the little Mr Darcy is a complete darling.
Let Downs: No matter what, Wichkam's true identity was not palatable.
Final Verdict: Great improvement than the first book as the narration got a lot better and as you go from one book to other you just love it automatically. The twists and turns keep the journey alive.
