Two con artists have hatched a perfect plot: they will pose as St. John and Diana Rivers and present themselves to their dear “cousin” Jane Eyre, mistress of Thornfield Hall. But even the most well-thought-out plans go awry. Jane is nothing like St. John and Diana expect. Jane is mistress of Thornfield Hall, but her fiancé, Edward Rochester, isn’t dead like most people assume. He’s held prisoner by Jane who uses him as her sex slave. St. John is undeniably attracted to Jane, but it’s Rochester who captures Diana’s interest. When deception is the name of the game, is there any possibility for love?
Janet Mullany takes the classic story of Jane Eyre and turns it on its head. Brontë purists would be well advised to avoid Reader, I Married Him, for the characters are almost unrecognizable. Myself, I enjoyed the tale on its own merits, but with it being so very different from its source material, I wondered why Ms. Mullany bothered to use Jane Eyre as base material rather than writing a story that would be completely her own. Reader, I Married Him is an erotic delight, but I do wish the romance between Diana and Rochester was more fleshed out. I adored Diana, but the “love” aspect, as it were, came out of nowhere. St. John was equally intriguing, but again, his relationship with Jane never felt fully developed and given how Ms. Mullany ended Reader, I Married Him, I’m hoping to see their story continue in a sequel. All in all, I was entertained by Reader, I Married Him, though I think with a bit of expansion the story could have gone from simply diverting to a truly sexy, exciting tale.

Ever think Jane Eyre should have been angrier about what Rochester put her through? This story explores a nasty, grudge-holding, unforgiving -- and highly, highly adult-themed -- side of Jane Eyre. Not for the faint of heart!
The story centers around a male and female con artist team who come to Thornfield to help Jane Eyre part with some of her substantial fortune and find an unexpected fate waiting for them instead.
Short and imaginative. I couldn't help thinking as I read of Star Trek's Mirror Universe. Evil Jane would have paired nicely with the evil Kira Nerys from DS9. Come to this story expecting a sequel to the original is a big mistake. It's an alternative idea of what might have happened if Jane Eyre were hiding a dark side to a kinky soul.

I bought this thinking it would be in the line of a signet regency. QUEL surprise! Jane Eyre erotica.
The beginning was uneven and I wondered if I would even finish the story. The couplings (there is no other word to describe it) Diana and Rivers engaged in left me cold. Once Diana meets Mr Rochester I finally see why I like this author. Out of the mess came a wonderful moment. The atmospherics and the immediate vulnerabity between these two is worth the ebook price. My only regret was the swift ending.
VERY clever title by-the-way. A Epilogue title. Smart, very smart.
