Jane: The Woman Who Loved Tarzan

By: Robin Maxwell

Narrated by: Suzan Crowley

The only female student in Cambridge University’s medical program, Jane Porter is far more comfortable in a lab coat dissecting corpses than she is in a corset and gown sipping afternoon tea. A budding paleoanthropologist, Jane dreams of traveling the globe in search of fossils that will prove the evolutionary theories of her scientific hero, Charles Darwin.

When dashing American explorer Ral Conrath invites Jane and her father to join an expedition deep into West Africa, she can hardly believe her luck. Africa is every bit as exotic and fascinating as she has always imagined, but Jane quickly learns that the lush jungle is full of secrets - and so is Ral Conrath. When danger strikes, Jane finds her hero, the key to humanity’s past, and an all-consuming love in one extraordinary man: Tarzan of the Apes.

Jane is the first version of the Tarzan story written by a woman and authorized by the Edgar Rice Burroughs estate. Its publication marks the centennial of the original Tarzan of the Apes.

Love this Tarzan Retelling from Janes POV

I found this retelling of Tarzan from Jane’s POV to he really interesting and engaging. I wasn’t bored for a single minute and just when you think you know the story and what will happen the author throws in a detail or twist to keep you on your toes. Jane is a very independent and precocious 20 year old young lady, who attends her father’s anatomy lessons and other college courses. Encouraged by her doting father, both are taken in and deceived by a cruel man who nevertheless gets them to Africa and of course that is where all hell breaks loose and the romance begins. Lovers of romance novels may be disappointed in the lack of details of the intimate scenes but will surely enjoy the heat, love, and affinity that grows between Tarzan and Jane as they become each other’s teacher and protector in a very equal and egalitarian way. They will also not be disappointed by the HEA at the end though perhaps be as eager for more details as Edgar was at the end. Enjoy this fast paced and fun retelling, I sure did!

Wonderful story!

Told from Jane’s perspective with details only she could share. It took me to a different world with a real alpha male.
