If you're looking for a fun read, then you need to check out A Love for the Pages by Joy Penny. Anyone who has ever gone to college not knowing what they want to do for the rest of their life will sympathize with June, the protagonist of the story. Her overbearing stepfather thinks he knows what's best for June, and because he's paying for her college education, she has to listen. But come summertime, when he wants her to work for him, she revolts by taking a job at her local library. Enter one tall, dark and handsome stranger who literally knocks her off her feet and June is about to experience a summer she'll never forget.

At first I worried I wouldn't understand the Jane Austen references because I've never read any of her books before, but Penny does a good job of explaining the similarities without hitting you over the head with them. I found myself unable to put the book down at times because I couldn't wait to find out what happened next. Definitely pick this one up!

A Love for the Pages edition by Joy Penny Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews

During the first week of The Romance Reviews Year End Splash Party I won an e-book copy of this book and for that I’ve written my honest opinion this book.

What young girl doesn’t fantasize even at a young age about becoming a princess and finding a prince she can fall in love with. And as they get older the characters in the books she reads mature along with her. In this book June Eyermann is such a girl, a girl who’s on the border of crossing over to womanhood.

Being the true bibliophile she is, June has taken a particular quality of a certain male character from several of the classic books she adores reading to form her own fantasy male. From Wuthering Heights she’s taken Heathcliff, from Jane Eyre she’s taken Rochester, and from Pride and Prejudice she’s taken Darcy. And just like Danny Kaye’s character did in the Secret Life of Walter Mitty, June’s mind drifts off to one of her books when she sees or hears certain things.

When June returns home from her first year of college she desperately needs something to occupy her time with; and what better way could a book lover like her to have than to take a voluntary position at the local library where she can be with all the characters she loves. Even with her characters close at hand, June has her ultimate nameless male character floating around in her mind.

For June to have a fantasy character on her mind is one thing, but to have him suddenly appear in real life is a totally different matter. As you read this book, Ms. Penny has made sure you’ve stepped into June’s shoes as her heart begins to race every time he’s in her presence even after witnessing his fierce sensitivity and having discovered his mysterious past.

If you’ve read things by Lord Byron then you’ll understand precisely what June is thinking about those heroines and that she’s fearful becoming one herself in real life. June is determined that hers will be one which will end in a happily ever after, but to know whether or not she gets it, you’ll have to read this book.

This book is right on target with its intended audience of young girls and will create wonderful memories for those who are somewhat older, which is why I’ve given Ms. Penny 5 STARS for her debut endeavor.
I love novels likes Pride & Prejudice and Jane Eyre and watch every version of the movies made that I can get my hands on! A Love for the Pages is a charming story of a devotee of these types of books who finds herself facing some situations similar to those in these books that she has also loves. It is one of those books that you could finish in an afternoon with a smile on your face.

The main character June is on her first summer break after the first year of college. We come into her life at the point where June has the chance to take a look at where she stands and what she wants to do. Being somewhat shy myself, I felt for June and her plight that she was going through at that time of her life. Not knowing what you want to do with the rest of your life when you just are becoming an adult with adult responsibilities can be somewhat overwhelming. As the reader, we follow June in this daunting time and on the sometimes rather humorous incidents that surround her that summer and her interactions with the enigmatic Everett Rockford.

I enjoyed the scenes that mirror some poignant scenes from my favorite novels. I knew right away what similar scenes were unfolding in A Love for the Pages when one of those scenes would occur in the book. The author does a very nice job of representing what scenes are somewhat similar to the scenes on those classic novels for people who may not know the other novels so well.

June does eventually realize that just because the classic novels made for enchanting stories, it does not necessarily mean that what happens in those novels translates well into our modern world and modern ways of thinking. I really enjoyed that aspect.

I would recommend this book to fans of Pride & Prejudice, Jane Eyre, and Wuthering Heights and/or for those who enjoy a lighthearted tale.
