Review : Only With You : A Modern Retelling of Emma (The Jane Austen Academy Series #5) by Cecilia Gray



Book Blurb




Dive into the fabulous, fun lives of six Academy girls as their friendships are tested, torn and ultimately triumph…

Emma has it all - looks, money, and luck. It's not like she keeps it all to herself - she's totally committed to helping those less fortunate. AKA, everyone. She invites her heartbroken friend to help with a weekend charity event with an eye to matchmake, but when that friend turns her eye toward the guy Emma wants for herself, how will she choose between friendship and her own feelings?

The last thing that the girls at the elite Jane Austen Academy need is hot guys to flirt with. But over the summer the school has been sold, and like it or not, the guys are coming. And it’s about to turn the Academy—and the lives of its students—totally upside down…

The Jane Austen Academy series are modern retellings of Jane Austen classics set at a beachside California boarding school. 
Book 6: Always You (Anne – Persuasion) ~ Coming Fall 2014

Toot's Review by Stacy Sabala

Emma has big plans for spring break. She has invited Anne and Josh to her beach house. She is in her match making mode. She wants Anne to get passed her broken heart and her ex Rick. Josh is broken hearted over Fanny. Emma is sure if she can get these two together everyone will be happy.

She enlists Knight to help her unknowingly to him. So when he shows up bringing Rick with him she thinks her plans are ruined. However she decides to put a positive spin on and ask Josh to keep an eye on Anne since she is uncomfortable about Rick.

Of course nothing goes as planned and she ends up hurting herself in the process. She lets her fears take over her actions. Emma could lose everything she ever wanted.

I love this series. I have enjoyed the characters immensely that the author created. The idea of her stories being written in the spirit of Jane Austen novels is fun. Jane Austen is a favorite author, so I enjoy how others spin her tales. With that in mind this series is a fun read for me.

The characters Emma and Anne have been present in all the previous books. Emma has been present in all the love lives of her friends. It was fun to watch her scheme to help Anne’s love life only to figure out her own. I can’t wait to read what Anne’s story brings. I give it a 4 out of 5.
