...from start to finish, insightful, brilliantly plotted, and layered with that terrific combination of emotive tension and dry humor that Austenesque readers find so entertaining. --Just Jane 1813
...appreciated the fact that not all these characters were redeemed, and not all lived their lives happily-ever-after - they can't be like Jane Bennet and make them all good. I admired the honesty about characters and their natures, but I must admit my romantic heart loved seeing some tender tales of how the love of a good woman can irrevocably change a man. --Austenesque Reviews
I mean really, who here doesn't LIVE to LOVE a bad boy? --Margie's Must Reads
I know this was a book about the gentlemen, but I was very taken by some of the female characters, that on many occasions were the perfect match for the men. --Author Translator Olga
I tried to pick a favourite story but I couldn't as there are at least five which could qualify for the 1st prize. --Obsessed with Mr. Darcy
Redemption is a difficult word for characters that you have already "judged" but some of these stories are difficult to ignore. --My Vices and Weaknesses
"One has all the goodness, and the other all the appearance of it." --Jane Austen
Jane Austen's masterpieces are littered with unsuitable gentlemen--Willoughby, Wickham, Churchill, Crawford, Tilney, Elliot, et al.--adding color and depth to her plots but often barely sketched. Have you never wondered about the pasts of her rakes, rattles, and gentlemen rogues? Surely, there's more than one side to their stories.
It is a universal truth, we are captivated by smoldering looks, daring charms ... a happy-go-lucky, cool confidence. All the while, our loyal confidants are shouting on deaf ears: "He is a cad--a brute--all wrong!" But is that not how tender hearts are broken...by loving the undeserving? How did they become the men Jane Austen created? In this romance anthology, eleven Austenesque authors expose the histories of Austen's anti-heroes.
Dangerous to Know: Jane Austen's Rakes & Gentlemen Rogues is a titillating collection of Georgian era short stories--a backstory or parallel tale off-stage of canon--whilst remaining steadfast to the characters we recognize in Austen's great works.
What say you? Everyone may be attracted to a bad boy...even temporarily...but heaven help us if we marry one.
