I love most of the Pride and Prejudice sequels and gave this author is chance.  Some of it was interesting to read, but I was a little put off by.  I know there was a subtle element of religion in the original P&P, but the story, Assumed Engagement, hits you over the head with it.  Many pages were taken up by sermons that were unnecessary to the story continuity.  The other part of the book that was strange was Darcy's pressing need to build a school for the deaf.  That kind of comes out of the blue and seemed like it was tacked on from another story.  There are better sequels/continuations out there.
