I found the erotic twist if that is what you call it. Now, I have read erotica novels before but still this one tops it all. No, I have never read the original Jane Eyre and after this read I doubt I will attempt it either. I will give them that much but this OMG was way over the charts for me to handle or like at all. So reader be aware of this! This was a novel that sometimes I had to reread to make sure I was reading what was written.WOW! Only asking myself is this for real? Now, this was really over the top for me and I have read some reads in my lifetime but this one over did it for me. Martin's GriffinAge Recommended: AdultReviewed By: Arlena DeanRating: 3Book Blog For: GMTAReview:'Jane Eyre Laid Bare: The Classic Novel with an Erotic Twist' by Charlotte Bronte and Eve Sinclair was a historical romance with some erotic tones and twists. Read moreīy: Charlotte Bronte and Eve SinclairPublished By: St. I won a paperback copy of this book from the publisher. This is a mediocre attempt, mostly forgettable & probably will satisfy large swathes of readers who are just looking for something quick & titillating. This is not the worst thing I've ever read but it is hardly a sign of the downfall of literature or erotica. I wouldn't recommend this for those who have deep devotion to the original but then I expect that should they pick this up to read it, they know it's not a serious re-telling & should be prepared for it to be exactly what it is. If there are people out there who have not read Jane Eyre (I have to imagine they do walk the earth & may well read on occasion), they may adore it from beginning to end. As the Jane in this story ends in a different place than the original, I wonder if there will be a series of the further adventures of Jane & will she again cross paths with Rochester. I daresay that the ending makes up a bit for the rest. While I didn't see that coming, it was again a departure from the original & I didn't dislike that. The very last for the ending was a nice twist. I saw this Jane as a different iteration from the original work & once I took it all as far less serious, I zipped right through it.

I've also read much better scenes in other books. I didn't find it sexy or erotic but as I've said, I've no deep affinity for the original characters. No one reading this is going for the literary value or as a comparison piece to the original. Because of that, I can say that for what it is, it's a decent enough effort. So I went into reading this book as one who respects the classic work but does not hold it as so sacred a thing. I'm an Austen person & must admit that I've never found Bronte heros inflamed a thing in my heart close to adoration. 2.5 stars (better than ok but i wouldn't say I much liked it either.)This is a tough book for me to review.
