Katherine Roberts is fed up with men. As a lecturer specialising in the works of Jane Austen, she knows that the ideal man only exists within the pages of Pride & Prejudice and that in real life there is no such thing. Determined to go it alone, she finds all the comfort she needs reading her guilty pleasure - regency romances from the pen of Lorna Warwick - with whom she has now struck up an intimate correspondence.

Austen fanatic, Robyn Love, is blessed with a name full of romance, but her love life is far from perfect. Stuck in a rut with a bonehead boyfriend, Jace, and a job she can do with her eyes shut - her life has hit a dead end. Robyn would love to escape from it all but wouldn't know where to start.

They both decide to attend the annual Jane Austen Conference at sumptuous Purley Hall, overseen by the actress and national treasure, Dame Pamela Harcourt. Robyn is hoping to escape from Jace for the weekend and indulge in her passion for all things Austen. Katherine is hoping that Lorna Warwick will be in attendance and is desperate to meet her new best friend in the flesh.

But nothing goes according to plan and Robyn is aghast when Jace insists on accompanying her, whilst Katherine is disappointed to learn that Lorna won't be coming.

However, an Austen weekend wouldn't be the same without a little intrigue, and Robyn and Katherine are about to get much more than they bargained for. Because where Jane Austen is concerned, romance is never very far away…

SURPRISE! ;-D

I hope you enjoy this books as much as I did, Haugtussa. :-)

Will be given as a RABCK at the convention the week end of 21 - 23 April 2017.

Thank you! How did you know this was my kind of book? ;-)

Well, this one didn't quite turn out to be what O ecpected. As an Austen - fan, I do love her books & spin-offs.... but this one was a bit too cheesy for my liking. Very predictable.
Anyways, an easy read where you do not have to put your mind to it. The book will travel on, hopefully the next reader will enjoy it more than I did.

The book is travelling to another Austen fan!
A bit of light reading - I do hope you enjoy it more than I did.

Another Austen-esque book! You know me very well, Haugtussa!

Thanks for sending it to me - I look forward to reading it soon.
