![]() ![]() Hopefully there will be a sequel to tie it all up because I did rather enjoy this author's version right up until the twist and dissatisfying ending. However, (Spoiler?) the twist of Bertha's power and motives over the situation taint a lot of the original romance to the story and, even though I wouldn't expect an erotic rewrite of the whole entire novel, I really disliked the abrupt ending which lacked closure. And in Jane Eyre Laid Bare, author Eve Sinclair writes between the lines to chart the smoldering sexual chemistry between the long-suffering governess and her brooding employer. The sensual writing was done fairly tastefully, even if not always believable (as certain conduct would not have been done in those times due to strict courting rituals but translates very well into modern times). After all, the original was written in 1847. I really felt it was a good companion to the actual book and a decent piece of fiction. There was a good amount of erotica but not overwhelmingly so. Well, that is until the end when tying in the erotic storyline. ![]() Overall, I would consider the writing very well done and since a large portion of this book is actually just from the original classic, you can't really go wrong there. No matter the genre of the book I am reading, the writing and plot are of great importance to me (hence I could not get past the first few pages of 50 Shades of Grey - but I highly recommend the first book of 50 Shades of Alice in Wonderland as it is pretty hilarious and also has a decent storyline). /rebates/2faudiobook2f6412028622fJane-Eyre-Laid-Bare&. I have just started delving into this genre so my review may be a little too analytical for some. ![]()
