My name is Shannon and I'm starting a BLOG about books!
Here is some history about me... Born and raised in AZ, Redhead, and lover of ROMANACE Novels!!
Growing up I always had trouble reading and spelling. It might be partly because of the ADD or just my over active imagination, but I could never stay focused long enough to make it through a page. I would get to the end of the page and realize I had no clue what happened. So I wouldn't read and tell everyone I was more of a movie girl.
I became a lover of reading about back in 2008 with Twilight. (I found out a guy I went to High School was staring in the movie version and thought I would check it out.) Yes I know what you are thinking... why would I listen to a girl who claims Twilight as one of her favorites. But please hear me out. Although yes, Twilight has its faults... the many spelling and grammar errors, plot holes and silly over dramatic teenage angst but it got me hook. It became my first love of books. There have been many many better, but Bella and Edwards will always have a place in my heart.
Now I am happy to say I LOVE to read!! And here I am to share that love of reading romance novels with you.
Let's get this train a rolling...
I have already told you about the first book I enjoyed reading and now here is the second.
This book has published back in 2008 by Ballantine Books. Amazon has it as a 3 out of 5 stars and there seem to have a lot of unpleasant reviews but I don't agree.
The story is about Emily Albright, a manager of a book store in New York and a Jane Austin fan, who is need of a change in life and love. Emily decides to take a Christmas trip to England for a guided tour of Jane Austen country instead. She finds herself the youngest female and meets a man who she believes has to be the biggest jerk possible.
Here is an expert from the Amazon Book Description...
The last thing Emily expects to find on her excursion is a broodingly handsome man striding across a field, his damp shirt clinging to his chest. But that’s exactly what happens when she comes face-to-face with none other than Mr. Darcy himself. Suddenly, every woman’s fantasy becomes one woman’s reality. . . .
I really enjoyed this book, 8 out of 10 freckles! ;) I'm a big Jane Austin fan. (The Pride and Prejudice with Keira Knightly is amazing!) So anything with the words Mr. & Darcy in the title makes me drool. Emily is someone who is just looking for her happily ever after. She goes to England hoping to find a little magic that only her favorite author could give her. Emily is a heroine you like and root for. She meets a guy who she thinks is the man of her dreams but maybe its time to wake up. The old saying is true the grass isn't always greener.
I'm terrible at spoilers so I wont say too much more. But if you enjoy sweet and simple romance books this is a great choice. Perfect for a vacation book or long plane ride. Its a good escape that makes you look for the romance in life!
Happy Reading!
