About this listen

Emma Shaw is a modern woman with a classic dilemma—love or career?

Eight years ago, she chose ambition over romance, cutting out the man she loved and carrying the emotional load for her family. Now, her dream job is slipping through her fingers, and the only way to save it is to work with the one person she’s spent years avoiding—Fredrick Wentworth, the man she let go.

When his book launch falls apart, Emma is forced back into Fredrick's orbit, embarking on a book tour that could either revive her career… or reopen old wounds. But as miles pass and sparks reignite, she starts to wonder—can she rewrite her own story and finally get the ending she wants?

Modern Persuasion is a witty, heartfelt contemporary romance perfect for fans of second chances, forced proximity, workplace tension, and road trip romance. If you love Austen retellings with a fresh twist, you’ll adore Sara Marks’ charming take on Persuasion.

The content of the book seems to be a lackluster modern adaptation of Persuasion (though why did it change the main character's name, Anne, to Emma?). They key scenes are included and updated,but not as creatively as it could have been. The AI narration is very noticable and distracting. chapter 21 is particularly horrible. The voice inflection at the end of every chapter sounds like it is (at most) the end of a sentence in the middle of a paragraph. it's jarring when the inflection leads you to expect the continuation of the idea, but there is a long pause and then a new chapter.

AI narration is awful
