Source: I received this book courtesy of NetGalley and the author in exchange for an honest review.
Everyone is familiar with Charlotte Brontë's passionate, but restrained novel in which the plain, yet spirited governess Jane Eyre falls for the arrogant Mr. Rochester. It’s a novel that simmers with sexual tension but never quite reaches the boiling point. Which is to be expected. After all, the original was written in 1847. That was then. This is now. And in JANE EYRE LAID BARE, author Eve Sinclair writes between the lines to chart the smoldering sexual chemistry between the long-suffering governess and her brooding employer.
When an eager and curious Jane Eyre arrives at Thornfield Hall her sexual desires are awakened. Who is the enigmatic Rochester and why is she attracted to him? What are the strange, yet captivating noises coming from the attic, and why does the very air she breathes feel heavy with passion? Only one thing is certain. Jane Eyre may have arrived at Thornfield an unfulfilled and tentative woman, but she will leave a very different person. (Description from Goodreads.com)
My Thoughts:
3 out of 5 pawsJane Eyre goes to Thornfield Hall to begin a new life as a governess. She has no idea what is in store for her there. Thornfield Hall holds many secrets, some threaten to be Jane's undoing.
Anytime someone reworks a classic, for any reason, readers should not look at it with the original in mind. I've read many reviews where people tried to compare this to the original and were left wanting...this is not the original.
I struggled with how to rate this book. It took a bit to grab my interest, but once it did, it held it up until the very end...the very bitter end.
I absolutely hated the ending of this book, but I must give credit to the author, I didn't see it coming.
