These first two books were entertaining contemporary romance takes on Jane Austen’s classics. I found the characters’ personalities a bit overdone, but I also laughed a lot. I enjoyed the first story quite a bit more. I will be watching for book three coming out later this year!
Emma of 83rd Street
In this novel, Jane Austen’s Emma meets the misadventures of Manhattan’s modern dating scene as two lifelong friends discover that, in the search for love, you sometimes don’t have to look any further than your own backyard.
★★★★☆
Elizabeth of East Hampton
This modern retelling of Jane Austen’s classic Pride and Prejudice transports you to summer in the Hamptons, where classes clash, rumors run wild, and love has a frustrating habit of popping up where you least expect it.
