Laurie Viera Rigler's nationally bestselling debut novel, Confessions of a Jane Austen Addict, took twenty-first-century free spirit Courtney Stone into the social confines of Jane Austen's era. Now, Rude Awakenings of a Jane Austen Addict tells the parallel story of Jane Mansfield, a gentleman's daughter from Regency England who inexplicably awakens in Courtney's overly wired and morally confused modern L.A. life.

For Jane, the modern world is not wholly disagreeable. She relishes the privacy, independence, even the power to earn her own money. But how is she to fathom her employer's incomprehensible dictates about "syncing a BlackBerry"? How can she navigate a world in which flirting and kissing and even the sexual act itself raise no matrimonial expectations? Even more bewildering is the friend named Wes, who is as attractive and confusing to Jane as the man who broke her heart back home. It's enough to make her wonder if she would be better off in her own time, where at least the rules are clear---that is, if returning is even an option.

This is a fun, light-hearted listen - - especially if you're a Jane Austen fan. Rigler writes time travel stories where the time travel isn't the main plot point in the book. Instead it's a device for getting two women to the men they'll fall in love with. This book was especially fun watching a girl from Austen's time deal with our modern day conveniences.

These aren't spectacular books. They're just fun, clean listens. Reading is a great narrator. If you're an Austen fan, you'll enjoy these books. ( )

When Jane Mansfield wakes up, she discovers that she is not who she thinks she is. She is from 1813 England, but she figures out that she's woken up in 2009 Los Angeles. She is not even in her own body; she appears to be in the body of someone named Courtney Stone. Courtney apparently hit her head while swimming and she is told she has a concussion and her memory should return. But Jane knows she's not Courtney! How did she end up in Courtney's life!? And not only is Courtney's life a bit of a mess, Jane doesn't understand the culture, the time, the place...

I really enjoyed it. I thought it was fun. I read the flip-book, Confessions of a Jane Austen Addict, where Courtney woke up in Jane's body, time and country, a few years ago and I wish I'd followed up with this one sooner, so I could remember more of the other one. I thought it moved quickly and it was fast to read. This is just fun chick lit, in my opinion. ( )

you should in any case read both books, i really liked the idea, the setting and it was witty and a delightful reading. ( )

Cute. I liked the first one better, but this was a fun companion story. Last time, the modern day woman wound up back in the 19th century. This tells the story of the woman who switched places with her, the 19th century lady thrown into the modern day. Fun story. ( )

It is a fun exercise for the modern Janeite to imagine herself suddenly waking up in Jane Austen’s world—her real world, not the somewhat sanitized version presented in films of her novels. This has been fertile ground for novelists, with varying success; Laurie Viera Rigler’s previous novel, Confessions of a Jane Austen Addict, is easily the best of the crop, fresh and smart and more literate than the others. Thus we had high expectations for Rude Awakenings of a Jane Austen Addict, a companion piece in which we experience the other side of the body-switch: Jane Mansfield (yeah, we know), willowy Regency brunette maiden, waking up as shapely, blonde, 21st century and decidedly not virginal Courtney Stone. If Courtney, well-versed in Jane’s time from her Austen addiction, had difficulty adjusting, just imagine what poor Jane is feeling.

. . . While women value their so-called freedom, they are fearful of giving away too much too soon, thus obviating a man's reasons for marrying. Which sounds like freedom for men and not for women, in my humble opinion. And which sounds like being ruined is almost as much a risk in this world as it is in mine.
To think I had believed, even for a moment, that he was about to offer me marriage, not a chance to bed him again and be his mistress who must still work and pay her own rent and can be thrown off without a moment's notice unless perhaps he decides to make her an honest offer again. What a bargain.
He is sleeping, snoring softly, like a child worn out from its holidays.
I don't have to do anything I don't want to do. When has anyone ever said that to me?
Each of us has the power to create heaven or hell, right here, right now. I do not know how I have come to be in this time, in this place, in this body. But I do know that any place where there are six novels by the author of Pride and Prejudice must be a very special sort of heaven.
