It's Finally Out! (1) A Breath of Eyre by Eve Marie Mont

It's Finally Out! is a new feature I've just started (hope to continue, but we'll see) in which I highlight a novel, or two, on the day it's actually released. Obviously, it's a book I don't have a review for, or I'd put the review up, instead.

This week, I have picked A Breath of Eyre by Eve Marie Mont to highlight.

A Breath of Eyre (Unbound, #1)  
by Eve Marie Mont

Released Date: March 27, 2012 (today!)

Emma Townsend has always believed in stories—the ones she reads voraciously, and the ones she creates in her head. Perhaps it’s because she feels like an outsider at her exclusive prep school, or because her stepmother doesn’t come close to filling the void left by her mother’s death. And her only romantic prospect—apart from a crush on her English teacher—is Gray Newman, a long-time friend who just adds to Emma’s confusion. But escape soon arrives in an old leather-bound copy of Jane Eyre…

Reading of Jane’s isolation sparks a deep sense of kinship. Then fate takes things a leap further when a lightning storm catapults Emma right into Jane’s body and her nineteenth-century world. As governess at Thornfield, Emma has a sense of belonging she’s never known—and an attraction to the brooding Mr. Rochester. Now, moving between her two realities and uncovering secrets in both, Emma must decide whether her destiny lies in the pages of Jane’s story, or in the unwritten chapters of her own…


I picked this one because it sounds so perfect for me! I love Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë, so this obviously excites my interest. It's kind of like how people still love reading Jane Austen's novels and writing their own fiction about them--you can't just let those swoon-worthy heroes fade away into fictional history. 

It's Rochester.... *Sigh* Anyway, my favorite version of Mr. Rochester, although he is far too pretty to have played his part, is Michael Fassbender.

Did anyone else see him in that latest movie adaptation of Jane Eyre from 2011? Lord, who doesn't fall in love with Fassy once they get a gander of him!?

Wow... I love this guy, aside from his role as Rochester, even. Guess who has been recast as Rochester for me in this book. 

Yes, he is quite Fass-inating....
