Dangerous to Know: Jane Austen's Rakes & Gentlemen Rogues by Christina Boyd, Sophia Rose, Amy D'Orazio, Katie Oliver, Christina Morland, J. Marie Croft, Brooke West, Jenetta James, Karen M. Cox, Joana Starnes, Beau North

5.0

This book quickly became one of my favorites. It includes stories by some of my favorite JAFF authors and the others are now included in that list. The LOL moments were plentiful--Col. Fitzwilliam swooning, the beginning of The Art of Sinking about John Thorpe being an echo of Jane's own words about Catherine Moreland-- and the poignant moments that led to these men become rogues or eventually led them from that path were heartfelt. I particularly enjoyed For Mischief's Sake about Henry Tilney and The Last Letter to Mansfield about Henry Crawford, both of which gave much insight into the characters souls. I will read this book again because I'm sure there's much I missed.
Thank you to Christina Boyd for compiling and editing such a wonderful book aboiut our favorite bad boys.
