Enjoyed, but

Overall, I enjoyed the book—it was fun and the reader is fantastic. I didn’t love it, but I liked it. The writing has some quirks. The time travel is believable enough, but I never understood why they needed Jane Austin’s writings. Even at the end of the book, it was never explained clearly. I had other unanswered questions as well, but don’t want to spoil anything. The oddest part was the awkward shifting between American and British accents for the main character. Why didn’t the author just make the character British? It wasn’t so bad that I didn’t want to finish the book, but sometimes the jump from one to the other, especially during sex scenes was abrupt and jolting. I will still recommend this as an easy, fun read, but don’t go into it thinking everything will be understood in the end.

Loved it!

Very entertaining and fun. Had me on the edge of my seat during the last third of the story, I was that invested on the story and characters. Not something that will blow your mind away, but you'll definetly will have a fun ride.

Why haven’t you fixed this?

To the editor and narrator: there are MANY glaring mispronunciations in this work and I am dismayed that this title, from 2017, has not been corrected! To name but a few: The famous author Anthony Trollope- his last name is pronounced trol’ up, accent on the first syllable. And the city Basingstoke: Long a, not short! Do you just think Americans (who haven’t lived in England) won’t notice? Shame!

Good Intentions

I liked the idea of going back in time and meeting Jane Austen and learning about her life. However, I didn’t really understand what the goal of the story line was suppose to be. It felt like this was a second or third book to a series and the ending suggests it should be a book in a series. The conclusion was incomplete and rushed

Excellence

I absolutely love time travel, Jane Austen and a romance. This book was beautifully written and I actually loved it way more than I thought I would. don't miss out on this book.
