Persuading Him: A Modern Persuasion Retelling (Pemberley Estates #1) by Keena Richins -- Review

About the Book

​At seventeen, Anne found the love of her life in an ambitious, yet troubled ex-foster boy. However, her wealthy family persuaded her to keep on her path to a prestigious career instead of running away with a boy with no future. 

Eight years later, she finds herself with no career, little money, and a heart still pining for that ex-foster boy. When she accidentally runs into him--now handsome, rich, and working for the prestigious Pemberley Estates Corporation--she discovers he still hasn't forgiven her yet. How in the world is she going to convince him to give her a second chance? 

"Persuading Him" is a stand-alone, clean/sweet, second-chance romance with a guaranteed happily ever after, plus with some other Austen characters sprinkled in. It tells the tale completely from Anne's side. Check out the companion novel for Rick's side.

About the Author

Keena Richins has a curse: she must write the stories bubbling in her head or go mad. Seriously. You should see the hordes of characters in her head constantly babbling about their lives. When she needs a break, Keena will delve into books and her favorite are the Jane Austen books, so it is only fitting for her first debut to be a modern twist on one of those classics. And many more are soon to come. Enjoy!

Review

Persuading Him: A Modern Persuasion Retelling by author Keena Richins is a sweet contemporary retelling of Jane Austen’s Persuasion.  Richins story follows Austen’s original story pretty closely throughout the entire novel.  This story is a women’s fiction novel detailing the coming to know and stand up for oneself with a touch of slow romance.  Although the first half the book is a bit slow, the story does pick up in the second half and still a sweet, enjoyable, and entertaining read.  Readers that enjoy modern Jane Austen retellings will enjoy this novel.
