In this Wild and Wanton edition of Austen's classic, Emma and Mr. Knightley burn up the pages as they give in to their baser natures.

"This 'wild and wanton' rewrite of Jane Austen's Emma did not disappoint...The transitions are seamless, the writing styles matched extremely well. I like to think that Austen (after getting over a bit of shock) would have welcomed these spicy, but tasteful, additions to her story. I know that I certainly did."

"...the wild and wanton version of *Emma* made it more accessible to a modern audience in the sense that it it was similar to modern ideals of courtship. Jane's characters find relationships in the meeting of compatible minds, but the modern romance reader expects zing. The zing made me think of Emma and Harriet more as the very young women they are, and also added an extra level of complication to the story. As much as Jane would, I think, be flummoxed by it, I rather liked the new wild and wanton angle."

"Micah Persell has taken this beautiful story with its lively banter and unspoken attractions and filled in the blanks for us bringing EMMA to life in a way that I'm sure Ms. Austen would surely have approved - if it would not have shocked her into a blushing silence. Keeping true to the voice of Jane Austen, Micah has improved upon a classic. She has made it even more romantic, if possible. She's filled in the gaps for us. From Mr. Weston's proposal to Miss Taylor and her wanton acceptance in the garden clear through to the Knightley's wedding night, which was just as I would imagine it to be since Emma was most assuredly a virgin, when she married *her* Mr. Knightley. As Ms. Austen ended her own edition, there was most certainly a *perfect happiness in the union*."
