Jane Austen Fan Fiction

Reviewed by Francine:

Assumptions & Absurdities is a truly apt title for this Jane Austen Fan Fiction novel. Being that of a variation on the Pride & Prejudice theme, it’s a well written narrative driven novel, with lots of amusing asides. And, to avoid spoiling the plot the best way to describe this novel is to say the author has a mischievous streak. You’ll see why, and yet, to some extent, what occurs seems quite plausible, if a little absurd. Therein lies the problem of assumption that all must be as before, instead of lateral thinking and wicked indulgence of characters who choose to differ on how their stories are to unfold. This is a fun read. Enjoy!

Regency Novel

Reviewed by Francine.

A delightful story of a wilful young lady addicted to late night forays abroad, and when caught in the act, telling fibs simply will not do. Her disguise is insufficient to convince a lordly spy (extraordinaire) that she’s indeed aware of the danger she so readily embraces with air of confidence. With no thought to the dangers of masquerading in a world where men are men and brutality is part of the nightly entertainment, the Earl of Tisbury determines the dark underworld is no place for Lady Lydia Radcliffe. What is more, unrequited love can cost a man dear if he’s of mind to protect the woman he loves. Despite a past misdemeanour that set them at odds and no seeming way out of that former pickle, Lydia’s resistance to any notion of romance in the air is but an aphrodisiac to the earl. He’s most definitely a man of equal determination to win his heart’s desire no matter the cost to his sanity, but dare he endanger her life with a declaration of true love? Danger is always close at hand for him too, as shadows in the dark merge with life all around him and the enemy is closer than first realised. Here I will stop and say no more, and leave you a potential reader to enjoy a thoroughly well-researched novel. Enjoy!
