I saw this at the library last week and just had to pick it up! The book contains four novellas based on.[b:Persuasion|2156|Persuasion|Jane Austen|http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51I%2B8kXYtLL._SL75_.jpg|2534720], [b:Northanger Abbey|50398|Northanger Abbey|Jane Austen|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170368862s/50398.jpg|4039699], [b:Pride and Prejudice|1885|Pride and Prejudice|Jane Austen|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1279118438s/1885.jpg|3060926], and [b:Emma|6969|Emma|Jane Austen|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1266449335s/6969.jpg|3360164]. But all of the authors added a bit of the paranormal into the story lines.

The first one involves reincarnation and soulmates. Northanger Castles started off really fantastic, but the ending was too rushed and I just didn't see the chemistry there between the two leads. Blood and Prejudice takes place in present-time and it really worked for me. It got the main bits from the original and threw in some fun twists. The last one was my favorite. It made me want to see a whole novel based on this world of witches, werewolves, elves, and vampires all roaming around D.C. This is definitely the most spicy of the romances!!!

Overall, they were all fun and entertaining reads and I'd recommend one reading.
