Not Precisely Mr. Knightley by Carolyn MillerMy rating: 💛💛💛
So, I have not read Emma, which I can gather is which this story is loosely based on. Maybe if I had, I would have had a better connection and appreciation for our lead lady EJ. But I really struggled to find any connection point with EJ. I just felt she was just too materialistically focused and too easily drawn into that world.
I totally felt Jordan’s frustration to help EJ keep her focus right. His realisation that he cannot do what only God can was his peace in his turmoil of feelings.
Emma-Jane did redeem herself and turn into a lovable character at the end. But maybe a little too late for this reader to form a connection with her.
I enjoyed the first book a lot more. I will read the last book in the series, but mostly because I want to see what will happen with Elinor and Katie!
