- Laurie Brown says she writes because she loves to, because she needs to do it in order to stay sane, and because writing gets her out of housework. By day a mild-mannered accountant, she spends her evenings and weekends writing, following her alpha heroes and spunky heroines on their madcap adventures to a happy ending. She writes historical, contemporary, and paranormal romances, each with a humorous voice and sensual tone. Her second time-travel romance "What Would Jane Austen Do?" was a Romance Writers of America RITA Finalist in the Paranormal Category.
Besides speaking at writing conferences from Florida to Washington, Laurie has taught a number of writing classes at College of DuPage. She loves to hear from readers, especially if they laughed out loud while reading her books.

Eleanor was a very likable character to me. As were the two ghost sisters, or even their not-so-ghostly living selves. Shermont…he’s described as being a womanizer and rake, but I really don’t think he was any worse then any other man. Despite his wariness where Eleanor is concerned (the timing is a little too perfect of her arrival, she would evade questions and always seemed to be hiding something, in other words she was acting very suspicious) I have to admit Shermont was surprisingly fair-minded with her.
The book has a lot of misunderstandings and misdirection. From the ghost sisters’ and their uncertainty about what happened the night of the duel to Shermont’s mission to find the Napoleonic spy events seem to spiral out of control quickly for poor Eleanor. I do find it very amusing later on when she has to choose between hot sex or Jane Austen (I truly don’t think I could have chosen).
The resolution was better then I thought it would be--too often it seems like time travel romances ignore changing history by uprooting a character to the past or present, but in this case it worked out wonderfully.
I really do enjoy Laurie Brown’s romances (I previously read One Hundred Years to Reform a Rake, which was another time travel romance, but the heroine had the terrible decision of loving the Ghost man or his live self and feeling like she betrayed both at once) and look forward to future books!… (mehr)
