Review: I Was Persuaded
Rating: 5 out of 5

I was initially hesitant to read Persuasion. After all, I hadn't touched a Jane Austen book since high school, which is more years ago than I care to remember. At that time, I was a young, inexperienced teenager who didn't have a clue what went on behind Miss Austen's firmly closed doors, so all I remember is being left with a vague idea that there was more to the story than Jane was revealing.I'm happy to say what Miss Austen had to leave out has been added back in, thanks to Micah Persell. I've come to expect hot sex scenes from Micah, and I was not disappointed with this Wild and Wanton version of Jane Austen's classic. What I didn't expect was the seamless way Micah blended in the more decadent details between the words and scenes of the original story. I thought I'd be able to tell where Jane left off and Micah began, but not so. Let's just say that Micah not only opened those firmly closed doors, but she kicked them in! This is the book that Jane would have written herself, had she lived in present day.I was given an ARC of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review.
