**** 3 stars
I liked this book, and as you know I am a Melissa Nathan fan. I am also a Austen fan and love how many of her books have a modern day take on Austen books. With Persuading Annie it flowed quickly and I found myself wanting to rush it at points. I knew how it was going to end but enjoyed reading it to see how it would unfold. I, like Annie, am constantly trying to please others while I find myself not quite as happy as I would have hoped. I really loved the suspense that captivated you all the way through. I wouldn't say this was my favorite read by Melissa Nathan, but was very enjoyable, just not as memorable.
Book Jacket Summary:
'It was a perpetual estrangement' Persuasion, Jane Austen
Meet Annie Markham. Gentle, sweet and kind. Except for her dark side. A dark side called Jake Mead. Seven years ago he'd been her entire world, even though her godmother had tried to persuade her to dump him. But when the going got tough, Annie's 'tough' got going. Jake's hasty departure from her life proved that a) godmothers are cleverer than they look and b) the only thing reliable about men is that they're totally unreliable.
Now Jake is back in her life. And he's the one man who may just save her family's ailing company.
But what Annie doesn't know is that Jake has an Achilles' heel. An Achilles' heel called Annie Markham. He's never quite got over her treatment of him all those years ago. This is the perfect opportunity for what some may call 'closure'. But what Jake calls, 'revenge'.
