Unabridged on 8CDs - In Laurie Viera Rigler's first novel, Confessions of a Jane Austen Addict, twenty­first-century Austen fan Courtney Stone found herself in Regency England occupying the body of one Jane Mansfield- with comic and romantic consequences. Now, in Rude Awakenings of a Jane Austen Addict, Jane Mansfield awakens in the urban madness of twenty-first-century L.A.-in Courtney's body. With no knowledge of Courtney's life, let alone her world-with its horseless carriages and shiny glass box in which tiny figures act out her favorite book, Pride and Prejudice-Jane is over her head. Especially when she falls for a handsome young gentleman. Can a girl from Regency England make sense of a world in which kissing and flirting and even the sexual act raise no matrimonial expectations?

So glad to get this as I enjoyed the first one. Now I am curious how a Regency girl survives in our time?

I find myself enjoying this less than the Confessions of a Jane Austen Addict, because all the thing about this mystical fortune teller just turns me off. I realize that the story is based on a fantastical notion of body/mind switching, through time, no less, so to complain a character that seems to be magical is weird, but that fortune teller really spoils the story for me.

The internal chattering and analysis of the main character thins my patience too... and I did have the same complain with Courtney's story.

Despite all this complains I did enjoy the story. I kind of want to re-read Confessions too, to compare notes.

Yes! It's here. I recently finished listening to Confessions of a Jane Austen Addict, so I was interested in seeing how the author would deal with the converse. I imagine it's a lot easier to be a 20th Century woman transported back to Victorian times than the other way around. I'm really looking forward to starting this book as soon as possible.
