Romantic Reads--Then and Now

Choosing just one romantic novel to feature this month is like eating only one piece of candy from a box of Valentine's Day chocolates! So lets pick two.

THEN: To make it easier, let's return to a classic with Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, the ultimate "happily ever after" tale. This classic novel from 1813 follows the turbulent relationship between Elizabeth Bennet, the daughter of a country gentleman, and Fitzwilliam Darcy, a rich aristocratic landowner. They must overcome the sins of pride and prejudice to fall in love and marry.

NOW: Released this month, look for Much Ado About You, written by New York Time's best-selling author Samantha Young. A charming romantic comedy, our heroine, 33-year-old Evangeline Starling makes an impulsive decision to leave Chicago after being passed up for a promotion. She books a trip to a quaint English village, living above a bookstore, and soon becomes swept into the loves and lives of the friendly villagers and grapples with her intense feelings for one flirtatious, sexy farmer.
