THESE THREE REMAIN is the third installment of Pamela Aidan's Fitzwilliam Darcy series. A native Pennsylvanian, Ms. Aidan took to reading early on in life. A history aficionado with a degree in Library Science, she is a truly dedicated devotee of Jane Austen, her life and times, as well as of her writings.

THESE THREE REMAIN permits the reader to once again catch up with Fitzwilliam Darcy. Chastened by his inability to control his romantic feelings for Elizabeth Bennet, he decides to go forth and make her an offer of marriage for which she - so he believes - will be eternally grateful. Yet Ms. Bennet does not receive his magnanimous proposal well and further humbles the man whose pride is legendary amongst his peers. As anger, regret, frustration and the first inklings of an abiding love war within him, Mr. Darcy comes face to face with the real Fitzwilliam Darcy, and he does not like what he sees. Setting off to make amends, he must first conquer an old adversary and finally himself. While he may be successful, will it be too late for a future with Ms. Bennet?

THESE THREE REMAIN is an enjoyable read. A clean romance that is suitable for reading by any age group, this book shows how it should be done. Although the third in a series, it can be read as a stand alone, and the reader will not miss any of the storyline or lack past plot details that would explain current events. Anyone and everyone who enjoys romance, Regency England, and a story so well written and beautifully worded that it reminds of poetry becoming a panting, will do well to pick up Pamela Aidan's writings.
