Real life isn't like a Bronte novel... Cara Truelove has always been a romantic, burying her head in books and dreaming of being swept off her feet by her very own Bront hero. When she was a gullible teenager, she believed boyfriend Seth to be a modern-day brooding Heathcliff. Fourteen years later, when Seth has proved to be more like Homer Simpson, Cara vows never to fall in love again, and turns her back on romance for good. Leaving Seth behind, Cara secures a job as nanny at Moreland Hall on the Yorkshire Moors, but is shocked to discover her new employer is none other than the tall, dark, and disturbingly handsome Mr Rochester. Her resolve to be more level-headed is soon tested when strange things begin to happen at Moreland Hall. Why is Mr Rochester's mother hidden away upstairs? What are the strange noises she hears from the attic? Why is the housekeeper so reluctant to leave her on her own? And where is Mr Rochester's mysterious wife? As events unfold, Cara knows she must keep a cool head, curb her imagination - and resist Mr Rochester at all costs. After all, one Bront hero in a lifetime is more than enough for any woman. Two would be downright greedy. Wouldn't it?… (meer)

Cara fell in love at a very young age with her own Heathcliff. Problem is, he turned out to be a bad poet who expects her to support him. She finally gives up on him and gets a new job in Yorkshire as a nanny to a young girl. Her new problem is that her employer is Mr. Rochester.
I loved this book so much. While the plot is a contemporary version of Jane Eyre, this book is so much more. Ms. Booth writes exceedingly well and is also very funny. The romance between Ethan Rochester and Cara takes some different and surprising turns while staying true to the original. The little girl is named Adele (as in the original), but I laughed out loud when I read the reason why. Same with the lunatic in the attic.
A terrific book from a terrific author. ( )
