Dangerous Alliance: An Austentacious Romance by Jennieke Cohen

3.0

I got this with the Austen LitJoyCrate and was super hyped for it! Overall, I enjoyed reading it. But there were parts of the novel that were slow and painfully so. There were moments when the plot and interiority of the protagonist were at odds with one another and it made it difficult for me to connect to her and believe the stakes of the main outer conflict. Ultimately, if you're looking for something "austen-like" or something that is "austen lite" then you'll enjoy this novel. But if triangles, miscommunication and inconsistent pacing irrated you, then this may be a hard read.
