Book Description: A modern-day pastiche of Jane Austen novels. Elise is a bright, beautiful law student, focused on a career and distrustful of men. She butts heads with Greg, an alpha male haunted by past relationships.
Heartache and the specter of revenge. Unable to deny their feelings, they spend a night together. A jilted fiancée exacts revenge and forces them to face who they are and what they really want.
A love tale of this day. A delicious romance with a literary slant and spiced with a twist of whodunit, this escapist fare also takes us into the inner life (thoughts, hopes, and doubts) of the main protagonists as they contend with realities that often face couples in compelling relationships—revenge of a jilted lover, past relationships, abortion, career choices, reactions of friends and relatives.
My Thoughts:
I liked this. It is a modern telling of Jane Austen as the story would go in today's world. I loved the classic so I hoped this story wasn't going to twist it up and change everything. I'm so glad I read it. There is a wonderful flow to the story and the modern to it would give those who couldn't take the original a good way to get the story. I am going to recommend it to several friends who I believe will enjoy it!
It was a 4/5 for me. I will happily read more from this author.
