What romantic hero did you pine for in your youth?  Did you like the brooding Bronte heroes? 

 Athena Murphy is an inspiring English professor who loves teaching but is behind on writing papers.  Athena needs to publish or perish so she takes time off to return to her hometown and determine the identify of C.L. Garland.  Garland is rumored to live in her hometown and is the bestselling author of the lit wit series of books, which are very spicy retelling of classic novels.  She takes a waitressing job at the café she used to work at and soon discovers it has recently been purchased by her ex-boyfriend, Thorne.  Thorne was Athena’s Bronte hero and great love.  She is still stung by their break-up and is not happy to be working with him.  Will she be able to find Garland and get her career back on track?  Will she be able to repair her relationship with Thorne?

 I enjoyed this light and fun audiobook.  The narration was great.  I loved all of the literary references.  I like books about books or in this case classic literature.  I am also a big fan of second chance romance and slow burn romance, and this had both. I really loved the town of Laurel and all of the secondary characters.  They were pretty funny and unique.  I also enjoyed the descriptions of the tasty food at As You Like It Café.  Overall, it was a fun audiobook.
