Light fun book for Austen fans who don't take her too seriously. There's good Bath atmospherics, romance, but best of all, Jane. A good read.

What a delightful read.

The Particular Charm of Miss Jane Austen was fun and easy to read.

The storyline - When a time travelling Jane Austen gets stuck in modern-day Bath it's up to avid Janeite Rose Wallace to save her… because she's the only one who knows that Jane exists!

Rose Wallace’s world revolves around all things Austen, and with the annual festival in Bath – and the arrival of dishy archaeologist, Dr Aiden Trevellyan – just around the corner, all is well with the world…

But then a mysterious woman who bears more than a passing resemblance to the great author moves in upstairs, and things take a disastrous turn. Rose’s new neighbour is Jane Austen, whose time travel adventure has been sabotaged by a mischievous dog, trapping her in the twenty-first century.

The Particular Charm of Miss Jane Austen by Ada Bright and Cass Grafton was a great look at time travel with a twist. The main characters had great chemistry and the plot and sequencing were perfect.

I received a review copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley for my honest review. The opinions expressed in this review are entirely my own.

Thank you Netgalley and the Publisher for my ARC in exchange for my honest review. This was an enjoyable book.

I thought this was brilliant. I studied my undergrad degree in Bath and it holds a super special place in my heart. The scene setting was perfect. It was an original tale with a vanishing Jane Austen and an unusual plot line. Really recommend if you’re looking for something that is not your average women’s fiction.

Thank you to the publisher for my eARC copy of this book. Unfortunately I didn’t love this book and therefore didn’t finish, I just didn’t connect with this one. Not for me, sorry.

I am a big Jane Austen fan and always in for anything that is based on Jane Austen or her books. This was such a delightful read. I enjoyed the book and highly recommend it.

I am a huge fan of Jane Austen but never knew about the Jane Austen Festival. This book really makes me want to go! I have read a few Jane Austen themed books and I have to admit that this series is now one of my favourites.
The book is fun, funny, romantic but not overly romantic with a bit of fantasy, and history all rolled into one.

Ada Bright and Cass Grafton offer another riff on the irresistible tit-bit that Jane Austen's beloved sister Cassandra destroyed many of her letters after the author's early death. They bring the author back to life in a time-travelling accident that puts her on a collision course with passionate Janeite, Rose Wallace. Rose lives in Bath, steeped in what remains of Austen's atmosphere, anticipating the annual festival where she is to meet her american long-distance friend for the first time. She's also struggling with a crush on Dr Aiden Trevellyan who seems largely oblivious to her existence. All of this pales to insignificance when Rose realises that the odd young woman who has appeared out of nowhere is the legendary author and, worse! her appearance means that Jane has vanished from history in 1803, before any of her books were published! It's an enjoyable tale about friendship for other die-hard fans of Austen, but it's rather flimsy and whimsical in a way that meant it felt even longer than it was.

The premise of the book is great and the author really delivers. Great read. Highly recommended. .

A fun read.
Rose lives in Bath and loves all things Austen and Dr Aiden Trevellyan who deosn't notice she exists.

When she realises that the woman she has noticed behaving strangely is Jane Austen time travelling, she knows she has to help her return home so she can write her famous novels. In a new world she still meets her old friends and gets closer to Aiden, so what will happen when everything returns to normal?

This is a fun and quirky look at what might happen if Jane Austen was stuck in the 21st century! In this world, time-travel is real and Jane Austen loves it! On one of her trips, she gets stuck in modern-day Bath and Rose Wallace is in charge of helping her get back to her own time.

This book is, more than anything, a celebration of Austen's work. Not only do we see her in modern-day England, but we see what the world looks like without her. Spoiler: it's not a good time in my opinion. I did find the characters throughout this story to be relatable.
The characters in this book are what make this story come to life. They are real and relatable and fun.
If you are a fan of Austen's work, either by reading or watching the adaptations you'll want to check this story out.

I had trouble getting into this book, quite honestly. I ended up finishing it but I was disappointed. I'm a Jane Austen fan, and I generally love reading books about her. However, this one fell flat.

Thanks to Canelo and NetGalley for the ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I absolutely loved this book! the main characters had great chemistry, and the secondary characters added some great texture to the plot.

I love Jane Austen and thought that this was a nice take on the kind of woman she might have been. What would a world be like if Jane Austen traveled to the future and gets stuck there with no way back to her time? Her writings influenced so many other authors that came after her and if they didn't have her characters to base their characters off of, then what would today's literature look like. A world without Mr. Darcy! Gasp, the horror!! But to see how one person's world changes drastically without Jane Austen's literature to shape her world speaks volumes.
Such a great read and would definitely recommend to anyone.

I enjoyed this story and found it to be quite a fun and quirky read!

The story was well written and I loved the way that the author’s told the story. The mix of different genres was great and it helped the book stand out for me amongst others that are available.

Their attention to details was great, I loved the way that the characters were developed and they worked brilliantly with the story. I have recently read a nonfiction book on the life of Jane Austen – and this one suits her brilliantly!

It is 4.5 stars from me for this one, rounded up to 5 stars for Goodreads and Amazon – it was a fun and enjoyable story – highly recommended!

A wonderful take on a well known classic.
I have read numerous Jane Austen'esque novels and this was very enjoyable.
Thank you NetGalley!

Thank you netgalley and publisher for the early copy.

I decided to put this book down. I did not connect with it.

I'm a huge Jane Austen fan and I'm usually quite sceptical about stories that play around with her life and work....but I need not have worried in the slightest. I mean yes the story needed an element of suspended belief but the inspiration behind the narrative was steeped in facts to firmly anchor the story.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book from start to finish though. The characters were cookie and fun and the delicious backdrop of Bath was the perfect playground for any Austen inspired story to play on. The whirlwind adventure that the narrative whisked me away on was fantastical in parts but why can't we suspend our senses and let enjoyment take over every once in a while?

The main question that this book hints at is what would a world look like without the works of Miss Austen in it to inspire and delight the masses? For me personally, it's not a world I wish to know that is for sure. The story line swirls romance and literature together in a mystifying manner and I was wrapped up in this teasing tale that came alive on the pages before my eyes. This book is the perfect escape for any Austen fan out there and one not to be missed.
