Persuasion: The Wild and Wanton Edition (Crimson Romance)

by Micah Persell

Persuasion, Jane Austen's final published work, is a story of second chances. A very young Frederick Wentworth and Anne Elliot are broken-hearted when their hasty engagement is dissolved due to Frederick's lack of prestige and lack of money. Eight years later, they are still healing when they are thrust into the same social circle once more - however, in a brilliant turn, now Frederick is Captain Wentworth, a prosperous naval officer, and the Elliot family finds themselves on the brink of financial ruin.

Austen, who suffered her own broken engagement, pens a beautiful tale of the redeeming power of love, and the passion between Frederick and Anne sizzles on the page, even by the standards of 1816. In this wild and wanton edition of Persuasion, read the entire classic and discover the steamy untold portions of Austen's story that have been lying dormant in the subtext. Who knows, Austen may have included these bits herself 200 years ago - if only she dared.

[Nadz@Totally Addicted to Reading]

I have never any of Jane Austen's work prior to this and so I had no idea what was is store for me. I have always enjoyed English literature so i figured this would not not be hard to go through. Oh dear was I wrong. It felt as if I was actually preparing for an English literature exam. This was one of the hardest books I ever had to read. I found that I had to be reading over paragraphs several times so as to be able to understand what was being said. Despite the difficulties encountered I found it to be quite an interesting read. I am glad that I persevered as it was worth it in the end.
