Miss Austen Series by Angela Pearse ★★★★☆
A very unusual series of Jane Austen variations.
Jane Austen appears as a close friend to Felicity Blackburn, our protagonist.
The first book Amusing Miss Austen, mirrors events from Pride and prejudice. Felicity encounters Max Fitzroy, rich, handsome and grumpy.
She is threatened with marriage to her unpleasant, clergyman cousin Mr Humbleton.
While events unfold, Jane is using it as inspiration for her book, First Impressions!
The story continues in Visiting Miss Austen. Felicity, now Mrs Fitzroy joins Jane and her relatives in Bath. Felicity has been coerced into taking her niece Lucy along.
Amongst their adventures they meet Dorian Hart who persuaded Felicity, Jane and Lucy to join him at his castle.
What follows is a gothic tale which owes much to Northanger Abbey. Featuring hidden passageways, mysterious unseen residents and a wicked plan to take advantage of Lucy.
Felicity must extract the three of them from a rather disturbing situation.
In the last book Trusting Miss Austen, Felicity and her family deal with life changing scandal and a persistent, devious stalker.
A really enjoyable trilogy. Happy to recommend.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
