Sophia Rose reviews THE AUSTEN AFFAIR by Madeline Bell. With a touch of wry humor, new-to-me author Madeline Bell pens a blend of romantic comedy with time travel romance.  Her enemies-to-lovers pair of film actors playing the roles of Jane Austen’s Northanger Abbey leads find themselves suddenly two centuries in the past and playing parts for a live Regency era audience.

Laurel Ann Nattress, author, editor, and blogger, shares her favorite Jane Austen scene, deftly defining the storytelling beats and why it still strikes a chord with her today.
