Okay, I thought I had to suspend my disbelief a couple of times in the first book, but this book requires me to suspend everything from the very beginning. It's still very readable and good to use up a few of those quarantine hours, but don't expect it to have many connections to the original Pride and Prejudice aside from some of the settings and the character names.

I actually started reading this one before it's predecessor. I didn't realize it was a series until I looked here on GR. So, I stopped, read the first one, then came back. I definitely enjoyed this one. Just as much as the first, I think. I got it free on Kindle and read it at the gym. I can definitely recommend it.

Georgianna Darcy and Edward FitzWilliam are engaged to be married. Life continues at Pemberley until Napoleon escapes from Elba and Edward is called back to duty on Wellington's staff.
This is a continuation of Georgianna's Diary, so the book is written in the form of a journal with lovely sketches to illustrate the people in Georgianna's life. The story is romantic and written in the style of Jane Austen. I very much enjoyed it and will look for more books by this author.

This is the continuation of Georgiana Darcy's Diary, and it follows Georgiana's engagement to Edward Fitzwilliam over the course of several months. There's increased interaction with Kitty Bennett, a pregnant Elizabeth, Caroline Bingley being as annoying as ever, a couple of small catastrophes, and the Battle of Waterloo. At times, it reminded me quite a lot of Thackeray's Vanity Fair - lots of sitting around in Brussels waiting to see if an evacuation would be required while the rich hold extravagant balls and the wounded pour in from the battlefields. It was an enjoyable, if predictable, read that I polished off in a couple of hours.

An interesting continuation of Pride and Prejudice but with Georgiana Darcy as the main character. The soldiers have fought Waterloo and some convalesced at Pemberly with Kitty and Georgiana helping to care for the soldiers and characters exhibiting PTSD.
The only part I remember that gave pause was that Kitty and Georgiana would have attended a ball uninvited, unchaperoned, and unannounced; not for Georgiana's status and that time period.
This is book two of a trilogy.

As Georgiana continues her diary with the news of her engagement to Colonel Fitzwilliam, news reaches Pemberley that former Emperor Napoleon has escaped, and the Colonel is called to war again.
Georgiana decides she must travel to Brussels to see him one more time.
Love this version of the Colonel.

I thought this book was slightly better than the first in the series, but still only ok. I'm not sure yet if I want to continue the series or not.
