I was eager to read the sequel to Miss Bingley's Revenge and overall it was a nice book but not as exciting as the first. It was fun to watch Anne in this book grow stronger and more confident. She actually stands up to her mother and has a suitor to top it all off. The Colonel was referred to as Joshua and I did'nt like that for his name. He is also trying to be forced into marrying Anne. He has his cap set for someone else. Aunt Catherine was in love once? Mr. Collins is a suspicious informant who comes to Pemberely to express, long winded, concern for Anne.Darcy and Lizzy were shown quite a bit in this book, of course still pregnant, and several times are caught displaying affection toward one another. The problem I had was is that they slept in seperate bedrooms. I realize this was common for the time and the upper class but come on we're talking D&E.; The author, up this point, has impressesd me with writing her own unique style. Some things were'nt plauseable for the time period but with the proper direction it was captivating. To believe a proper pair would frequently show affection and then sleep in seperate rooms just was'nt believeable. I hope thisis not going to be the beginning of her attempt to please others who are purists, no offense of course, because it just did'nt sound as the rest of the authors work.The end, once again, allows us to know that baby sister's romance is next to come along with an over protective, older brother. I think the heir may be born as well. I can't wait to read D&E; as parents and hope that the author stays true to the way she's written in the past and does'nt try to hold things back from us.
