Julia Quinn picks up the pace

Speaking of Ms. Quinn...

I am not a huge Julia Quinn fan--her books are pleasant, but rarely memorable--but I found myself unusually interested in the secondary couple in her just-released The Lost Duke of Wyndham. Their problems seemed far more compelling than those of the main couple (who fall in love at first sight), and I was sorry to think that I'd have to wait for Julia Quinn's usual full-year-between-books schedule to hear what happened next. But Ms. Quinn has surprised me: according to her homepage, she wrote both couples' stories concurrently, and the second book in this series, Mr. Cavendish, I Presume, will be out on September 30th. She is offering a plot summary on her website.
