I've recently decided to dive back into the world of Jane Austen and while I was partway into Emma (and also in the middle of a run of Emma) I decided somewhere someone had to have wanted less fade to black on some of our favorite heroines and my gosh was I right. The sprinkles throughout of the tension building between Knightley and Emma, with a few extra scenes with some unexpected side characters. Truly just like reading Jane Austen's beloved characters + some extra spice for those of us that want it.

This took forever! It was like the book was copied and pasted with the naughty parts added in. Another thing was pages and chapters of Miss Bates' dialogue drowning on and on that I had to skim through.... it added NOTHING to the story. I could do without the Westons' naughty parts, not really sure what they added other than the sex.
