It was the perfect opportunity for 'closure'... Meet Annie Markham. Gentle, sweet and kind. Except for her dark side. A dark side called Jake Mead. Seven years ago he'd been her entire world, even though her godmother had tried to persuade her to dump him. But when the going got tough, Annie's 'tough' got going. Jake's hasty departure from her life proved that a) godmothers are cleverer than they look and b) the only thing reliable about men is that they're totally unreliable. Now Jake is back in her life. And he's the one man who may just save her family's ailing company. But what Annie doesn't know is that Jake has an Achilles' heel. An Achilles' heel called Annie Markham. He's never quite got over her treatment of him all those years ago. This is the perfect opportunity for what some may call 'closure'. But what Jake calls, 'revenge'.… (more)

Persuading Annie is modern day version of Jane Austen's Persuasion. Although I didn't enjoy this novel as much as I did Nathan's retelling of Pride & Prejudice - Pride, Prejudice and Jasmin Field - I think fans of Austen adaptations would enjoy this novel. ( )

Another in Melissa Nathan's series of updating Jane Austen. This time it's Persuasion. A nice light hearted read, following the original plot closely and including a lot more humour.

A fun read for the Dentist's waiting room.

Is a nice story and funny, but I still prefer The nanny... If you need to read something funny and donĀ“t need to think in anything this is one of the best books to have... Nice reading for brain vacations.... ( )

I enjoyed this - see my review http://www.dnsmedia.co.uk/reviews/bookreviews/1096. ( )

The only thing I don't like about this really fun book is how young the hero is.... He's only been out of school for a few years and he's already a top independent management consultant? That note of unreality was too jarring for me. ( )
