Title: By All Means, Skip It
Review: If you skip this second book and just wait for the third, you won't miss a thing. After all, what's the reason we're all reading this series? We're reading it for Aidan's delightful speculation into Mr. Darcy's character and his feelings for Elizabeth. Sadly, the very few snippets of feeling we're allowed to see boil down to "Elizabeth is 'good'" and are buried beneath so much contrived nonsense that it becomes a slog to get at them. If you simply must read it, keep your expectations low. Aidan doles out Darcy's feelings for Elizabeth with a miserly hand, and this book doesn't deliver nearly the emotional impact or excitement of the first one.
