Now this was a surprise ...I went on vacation and took this book that I had on paperback from quite some time to have as a backup in case I found myself without battery on my kindle on my trip... And when this happened I became so enthralled with the story and how fun it was that I just couldn't put it down!I bought the book in the first place because of the tittle, I'm a big fan of Miss Austen's work so that was a plus for me. Add to that the time travel/Regency tale and I was a goner!Eleanor was what a character in her situation should be. She didn't overanalize everything that was happening and she behaved how I would think I would behave if placed in such an era...James/Shermont was simply a sexy charmer of charmers. I really wish HE was for real... a really smooth talker indeed.The ghosts were a fun bonus and it made the story light and "almost " believable .... almost.I was glad I gave it a try, and I'm looking forward to some more books from Ms.Laurie Brown, I had forgotten how much fun it is to read a well written Regency romance! The first 10 pages or so I wasn't sure, because the voice of the main character was not someone i liked. However I stuck with it and enjoyed the story for what it was: time travel to right a wrong with romance thrown in. Implausible, yes, fun, light-hearted, and interesting, absolutely! No thinking required,which is my speed at the moment.I'm sure there are things to pick apart: everything wraps up neatly, for a modern woman in Austen's time, her flaws are not magnified as they normally would, etc. But who cares? When you pick up a book like this you are looking for fun and enjoyment, not analysis, and that's exactly what I got.
What do You think about ¿Qué Haría Jane Austen? (2000)?
Good book, thought Jane Austin would feature more prominant, but I liked it.
