Review:

I absolutely loved this. After I finished reading this book, I quickly added it and its sequels to my wishlist. Both the writing and the story were simply wonderful, I was completely drawn in from the first page to the last.

The story followed two attendees of the Jane Austen Convention, Dr. Katherine Roberts and Robyn Love. The two unexpectedly find themselves finding love with the most charming of suitors (Warwick Lawton and Dan Harcourt) during the convention especially when all they were thinking about was a weekend of discussing their favorite books and seeing all the sights with their fellow Austen fans.

When Katherine arrived at the convention, she had no intentions of even thinking about romance unless it was the fictional kind she found in her favorite Austen novels but along comes Warwick Lawton. But he wasn't a regular fan of Jane Austen's he was also the writer of popular Regency novels which he writes under the pseudonym as "Lorna Warwick" which just so happen to be one of Katherine's favorite authors.

Prior to attending the convention, Katherine had been writing to and receiving letters from Lorna Warwick, the two had become instant friends and shared secrets and information about themselves. Katherine's letters had been so intriguing to Warwick that he had to meet her but how could he when the world knew him as the writer Lorna Warwick. So, he decided to attend the convention to see if he could meet Katherine.

Now as for Robyn Love one of her biggest problems was she was no longer in love with her long term boyfriend Jason 'Jace' Collins, who at the last minute decided to stay in a Bed & Breakfast not far from the convention to try to spend more time with her. It would have been a nice idea if he actually really cared and understood why Robyn wanted to attend the Jane Austen convention. The two of them have known each other for what seemed like forever and Robyn didn't know how to end things with him.

This was such a lovely book, it was well-written and filled with romance and whimsy and (beautiful descriptions). It was the perfect getaway. Romance and Literature, what more could a book girl ask for. I enjoyed this so much it even had me thinking about one day going to a Jane Austen convention.
