My Mr. Rochester (Jane Eyre Retold #1)

"Page turner! ~ Having read through about a dozen copies of Jane Eyre, it was nice to read the story from a different, more modern, perspective. I've read it a few times, now, and always catch something I missed the first time."~ Stina D, Amazon reviewer

**In New Judah, a country split away from the old United States, technology is highly restricted, women are revered, and family and connections determine a person's place in society. Orphan Jane Eyre rebels against society's low expectations and earns a measure of contentment as a licensed governess.

When Jane lands a coveted position at a beautiful but mysterious country estate, her hard-won independence is threatened by her feelings for Edward Rochester, her broken and bitter employer. The love Jane's always desperately longed for is in reach, but it may cost everything else she's ever achieved.**

Where Bronte hints, Rigel explores. The tension felt in Bronte's Eyre, is ten fold in Rigel's ... Private sitting room conversations are made public. Touches become more intimate, and looks become more brazen. "My Mr. Rochester" isn't in the realm of New Adult (despite my description of it) instead it's the version all classic lovers know was buried behind an era's expectations. ~ KindleObsessed

"If you loved the original, don't miss this one. I find the original language fit its time, but was stilted in mine. These characters speak my language. The physical places are exactly like the originals- except when you travel in a Tesla sports car, or a high speed train to visit them! And it all works beautifully well. Shakespeare and '50s American Beach movies, wicked fun and moral dilemmas ...if you don't believe me, just read! It keeps faith with Bronte and freshly entertains. I loved it!" ~ AintyJo, Amazon reviewer
