An unexpected inheritance gives Kay Ashton the chance to move to Lyme and finish illustrating her book dedicated to Jane Austen’s leading men. She buys a large old home and sets to work outfitting it as a bed and breakfast to supplement her artist’s income. Just as the place becomes habitable, a movie cast and crew comes to town to film portions of their new version of Persuasion. Her quiet new life is quickly turned to chaos with diva actresses, drop dead gorgeous actors, and a clever but quiet screenwriter desperate to win Kay’s heart.
Nothing really makes this homage to Austen stand out from the many others that have been published in the last decade. It’s a decent piece of chick-lit, but again, nothing extraordinary.
