My Review

A Very Austen Valentine is a compilation of 6 short stories featuring the characters from several of Jane Austen’s novels. I do love a good Austen inspired story. I did find that the a couple of the stories were harder to keep my attention then others. Overall, they are lighthearted and full of romance. Its always fun to imagine what else the characters would do and experience. Short stories are hard because they are usually too short and I often wish they were longer.
If you’re a fan of Jan Austen, these stories will warm your heart and whisk you back in time.

I received this book from the publisher to read and give my honest review.
