A page-turner with a horrible rich guy everyone fiends over, and a perfectly perfect blonde who saves the day. Yes, this is trash, but if you're saying you don't just absolutely eat trash books up sometimes, you lyin'.

A so called retelling of the great classic Jane Eyer rewrittten as a Harlequin's romance drama story. The character of Jane here has nothing to do with the original amazing one created by C.Bronte and if not for the names, this book would have nothing to do with J.E. That ending was a big nonsense!
For me, as a retelling didn't really work but it could please some readers as just a romantic story.
I liked the art style in some panels, the cover was what attracted me to this book, it's nice.

Great illustration of course its a typical love story but good the end was different at least I think my reason of reading is illustrations admire the drawing. 5 star for that.

Jane Eyre is a sort of complex novel in terms of the relationships and the characterizations; Jane's ability to walk away from a man she loved because he was dishonest and kind of terrible was one I always appreciated. This "re-telling" was... kind of lacking for me. The art is great, but I don't think the story really benefited from the update. There's even less to see as appealing about Rochester in this version, and that was already a tough sell in the original. And the Richard Mason angle was... weird. I guess that made Rochester the lesser of two creeps, but... still a creep.

Overall I really enjoyed this take on one of my favorite classics. The author modernized the setting and story in a way that highlighted the original qualities of the characters, yet made them a bit more relatable. I felt there were a few holes and unanswered questions at certain times, but I loved the authors twist on the tragedy.

Quick weekend read. Beautiful art and color story. The updating of Jane Eyre? Not so much.

I really hated this. Decent artwork, I suppose. None of the characters are right - but Rochester in particular is downright terrifying and awful. Not charming, no redeeming qualities. When she does sleep with him, it was bad in several fronts: first of all, he's a horrible person; second, he's the employer and you are the employee. It was just not redeemable for me after that point. Ick. No. Yuck.
