This book was just so much fun to read. The particular Charm of Miss Jane Austen was full of twists and turn, I expected a pretty straightforward romance but I was so happy to find it wasn't. Not only did it make me feel I was in Bath but also I was experiencing everything Rose went through. As an Austen fan this was a joy to read. The time travel was so well handled and now I'm super excited to read more about these authors!

This book is well-written and the title certainly grabbed my attention. I have a huge fascination with Bath. However, the story couldn't fully keep my attention all the way through. I needed a bit more oomph.

This is a fun read for fans of Jane Austen's novels, a story about friendship and love of books. While there is a time travel aspect to the book, it's not a fantasy novel but would likely be shelved under Chick Lit in my library. There's not a whole lot of plot to the novel, but the characters are so enjoyable that I didn't mind. I especially loved the characterization of Jane Austen herself. I'll definitely check out the next book in the series when it is released.

I didn't think I'd cherish so much this book. First and foremost, the setting in Bath in September, during The Jane Austen Festival is particularly exciting, especially since the main characters, the British Rose and the American Morgan (and obviously the authors) are not eleventh hour Janeites; in fact, they are very familiar with Jane Austen and her works, and everything related to her, meeting even the most dedicated connoisseur's tastes. At last a novel that - in spite of the sci-fi turn - knows how to move in Jane Austen's sites and life!
Even the pseudonym picked for Jane - Jenny Ashton - is easily explainable; a very good choice.
Bath and the time Jane Austen spent in it are paramount in this novel, even because, incidentally, Rose has a job at the Luxury Lettings of Bath, renting Historical Houses to tourists; but the novel moves to Hampshire, too. And everyone who's been there, <i>feels</i> there, walking with Rose, Morgan and Aiden on trails that every Janeite recognizes and cherishes.
Having said that, this novel made me reflect on how much Jane Austen affected history, literature and the lives of her fans, especially when, as a result of a backwards butterfly effect, Jane is trapped in our own day, vanishing in 1803, so before publishing her novels, and Rose - the only one who remembers of her existence and mourns the loss - will end up in a very bleak world, where nobody has known about Jane Austen's wit and her wonderful works.
When Rose has to come to terms with the unease of a world that has never known Jane Austen, I, too, sensed the same unease. I thought to all the wonderful people I met because of Jane Austen, and I felt very lucky that she existed and still <i>exists</i> in my world.
And I believe that this is the meaning of this novel: emphasise the great power of our favourite writer, that after two centuries, stil manages to put together different people from different places in the world, establishing true friendships and cultural stimuli.
Many thanks to NetGalley and Canelo for providing me with an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Time travel AND Jane Austen. This book is right up my alley. It was a delightful adventure with a literary character many people know and love.

The Particular Charm of Miss Jane Austen is a delightfully fun read. Imagine Jane Austen showing up because she has time traveled. I might freak out a little. And, her books do not exist because she never wrote them. What a tragic loss to literature and swooning women that would be! Luckily, one other person knows about this situation. Perhaps, with a little help and luck, Jane might make it back to her own time. What happens if Jane is stuck in present day? This story has adventure, charming characters and a unique premise. It's a great romcom historical fiction read. Thanks to NetGalley for an arc in exchange for an honest review.

The particular charm of Miss Jane Austen is a fun romp of Austen goodness through Bath England. Thoroughly enjoyable and I was pleasantly surprised!

Rose lives a normal life in Bath, where she is obsessed with Janr Austen and secretly in love with Aiden an archaeologist.
However her life is turned upside down when she realises her heroine can time travel and then the world is turned upside down when Jane gets trapped in the 21st century. This means none of her books exist and Rose's life is changed in so many ways. Can she help Jane to return and write her novels and can she find true love in her real life?
A charming take on time travel with an open ending for a sequel

Wonderful book! This book ticks all the boxes on what I love in a book—time travel, Jane Austen and England. What would life be like without Jane Austen? You’re about to find out!

This was a different and interesting read sort of a mix of historical, fantasy and mystery. This is a perfect book for any Jane Austen fans it really captured the spirit of her writing and her style. I enjoyed the character of Rose and her handle of all the crazyness when a time traveling Jane Austen shows up in her town amd throws her life topsy turvy the shenanigans that ensue and the little interesting Jane Austen references dropped throughout made this a fun intriguing read!

Time travel, a dog, and Jane Austen.

A time traveling Jane Austen gets stuck in Present day thanks to a dog and her downstairs neighbor is the only one to help her. This read was an interesting take on Jane Austen. A thoroughly enjoyable lead.

This seemed to very promising especially for a Janeite! I had always wondered what would have happened had Jane Austen showed up in our times! However, I found the characters to be very flat with no development. Still, there was some humor and romance. I recommend this anyone interested in Jane Austen!

I love Jane Austen, and any book written about her. These two ladies have done an excellent job telling this mystery tale about a famous festival, and the whimsical writing and beautiful setting keep the reader present and engaged throughout the entire novel.

I enjoyed this book but my goodness, the two main characters were irritating. Rose and Morgan, after previously meeting in a Harry Potter chatroom meet for the first time (in real life) at an Austen festival in Bath. Other than the irritation the other problem I had with the main characters was that they were a bit stereotypical. Rose is a shy English Rose and Morgan is a brash American.
OK, now that’s out of the way I can tell you what I actually did like. Being an Austen fan myself, I loved the premise of the story. Jane Austen disappeared before she ever had a book published and the world is a very different place. Rose is the only person, other than Jane who has appeared in modern day Bath, know the truth and together they have to find a way to set the world to rights.
The book was written by two people but the joins are seamless and I couldn’t tell where the change of author came.
Thank you to Net Galley for a copy of the book in return for an honest review.

The Particular Charm of Miss Jane Austen

From the Publisher: When a time travelling Jane Austen gets stuck in modern-day Bath it's up to avid Janeite Rose Wallace to save her… because she's the only one who knows that Jane exists!

This is an entertaining Jane Austen time travel story. This was a funny story full of historical tidbits about Bath and Jane’s life. It is a must for any Jane Austen fan and I think history buffs will enjoy it also. As an added bonus, there is a little romance and a lot of friendship. 4/5

The rating would have been 5/5, but I felt that the story lagged unnecessarily in parts and I didn’t care for the cliffhanger ending.

This book was so fun! This was the first book I've read from this author and I really enjoyed it. The story was different from anything I've read recently and really captured my attention. It was so well written and the characters were fantastic.

This is a fun, wish-fulfillment book for all fans of Jane Austen.
Imagine you are at the Jane Austen Festival in Bath and you spot Jane in the crowd. Not just a super-fan dressed in Regency costume, it's actually her. Because she can time travel.

But when something goes wrong and Jane gets stuck in present-day Bath, the history of literature is altered. If she can't get back Elizabeth and Darcy no longer exist.

This is a very fun, silly book full of period details and Austen quotes. Lots of romance and friendship.
Thank you Netgalley for the digital copy in return for a review.

This is a sweet book! It's partly a rom-com, and partly a light mystery involving a time-travelling Jane Austen - unfortunately, I wish the two strands had been more closely entwined. As it stands, the first quarter of the book is straightforward contemporary chick lit, the middle half is set in an alternate universe where Jane Austen is in the present and never wrote her books, and the last quarter goes back to the normal rom-com of the start. The poor blending of the stories means that the pacing is way off - I actually had to look up how long the book was about halfway through, as I felt like I'd been reading for far too long for what had actually happened.

That being said, if it were condensed into about 200 pages, it would be a five star read for me. I really liked Rose, the main character, and it was a lot of fun to see how the world was different without Jane's work. I was invested in Rose and Aiden's relationship to begin with, but lost interest completely when the focus switched wholly to Jane's time-travel and the romance was more or less abandoned, so the climax of the romance, though very sweet, didn't quite have the impact it could have. I liked the veracity of the Bath setting, and the obvious love for Jane Austen that the authors have. I'd give it 3.5 stars if I could.

The idea is cute, but the execution, the one-note characters it's impossible to care about, the ridiculously long setup, and the awkward pacing erased what charm this book would have had.

SO glad that NetGalley sent me this ARC in exchange for an honest review! I'm a big fan of intelligent time travel stories, and bringing Jane Austenites into this adventure is super-clever. The authors blend their writings well here, layering this amazing 'what if?' story with so much engaging detail. They avoid cliché, and have made something fresh in this genre. Very well done, and the type of book you'll keep thinking about long after you're done. It's chattable in book club, and you'll recommend it to all of your Jane Austen fan friends.
