Hello Bookfluencers,
With the new adaptation of Sense and Sensibility premiering in the UK on September 25th and in the US on October 16th, it is going to be another great year for Jane Austen fans!
Just in time to add to the celebration, bestselling author Ruth Mitchell (Modern Jane series) will be returning to Great Reads Book Promotion on tour in October with her forthcoming Austen-inspired novel, Romantic, a modern twist on Sense and Sensibility featuring Marianne’s story.
- ON TOUR: October 12 – 16, 2026 with Great Reads Book Promotion
If you are not familiar with the Modern Jane series, take heed. All are contemporary romcoms set in the same universe with side characters from one book starring as main characters in the next. However, each novel can be enjoyed on its own and read out of order.
Romantic is the 5th book in the series and contains dual POV, witty banter, tender moments, and scorching chemistry but no steam. (Just epic kisses!)
Read on for more details…
BOOK DESCRIPTION
Annie Greenwood believes in love at first sight. A self-professed hopeless romantic, Annie has long known that she will recognize her true love the moment she meets him. After all, that’s how it was for her parents.
But now that she’s 27, single, and still struggling to settle on a viable career, Annie’s reconsidering all her romantic ideals. She loves living in Big Sur and couldn’t be happier working at Norland Park with her beloved mom and sister. But money is tight, and Annie knows that she could contribute more. It’s high time she gives up her dream of being a poet and finds a desk job. And as long as she’s shelving dreams, maybe she should stop waiting for some romantic hero to show up and give Brandon James a chance.
The wealthy widower might not be Annie’s usual type, but somehow he and his ten-year-old daughter, Pepper, have wormed their way into her heart. Everyone says Brandon has a thing for Annie. But after the tragic death of his first wife, the single father moves cautiously, making Annie wonder if he has any interest at all.
Just when Annie begins to see Brandon in a new light, fate steps in and sends a handsome stranger, Jack Willoughby into her life. A chance meeting, a dramatic rescue, and instant chemistry! What could be more romantic than that?
