About this listen
Kiss. Marry. Kill. Nineteen-year-old June Eyermann has always known exactly which of her favorite Byronic heroes goes where. She'd kiss moody and possessive Rochester from Jane Eyre and marry prideful but repentant Darcy from Pride and Prejudice, leaving obsessive and spiteful Heathcliff from Wuthering Heights to be chucked off a cliff - but no. She couldn't leave any of her heroes behind. She lives for her favorite fictional worlds.
But June is about to get a serious wake up call when she returns home for the summer after her college freshman year. Stuck somewhere between feeling like a kid again under her parents' roof and being forced to start acting like an adult with worries about her future career, June looks at the library volunteer position offered to her as a way to keep her sanity for the next few months before she can go back to school.
What June doesn't expect to find at the library is her favorite romantic heroes brought to life-all in the same man. Obstinate, prideful and even a bit rude, Everett Rockford shouldn't exactly be "dating material," even if June's heart rate accelerates whenever she's near him. But after discovering his enigmatic past and witnessing a few fiery moments of tenderness, June can't help but see Rochester, Darcy and even Heathcliff in Everett. If she's going to make it through the summer without becoming a tragic heroine in her own story, she has to separate the man from the ideals of fiction in her head. Because if there's one thing she knows about Byronic love stories, it's that they don't always end happily ever after.

Austen wrote, 'I am going to take a heroine whom no-one but myself will much like' and thus introduces the handsome, clever, rich - and flawed, Emma Woodhouse. Emma is perfectly content with her life and sees no need for either love or marriage; nothing however delights her more than matchmaking her fellow residents of Highbury. But when she ignores the warnings of her good friend Mr. Knightley and attempts to arrange a suitable match for her protegee Harriet Smith, her carefully laid plans soon unravel and have consequences that she never expected.

The unapologetic intensity with which Emily Brontë wrote this story ensures that it will forever be considered one of the greatest works of English literature. A passionate tale of a chaotic and often violent love, Wuthering Heights transcends your average romance and, with its Gothic undertones, takes the listener on a journey through one man's lustful hunt for revenge.

Meh
I received this audiobook for free in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.
In gave it 3 stars because it kept my interest enough for me to finish it but it wasn't for me. Perhaps a specific niche, such as a teenager who is obsessed with the same books that the main character refers to endlessly, would enjoy it. Although I felt the narrator was cast appropriatly as far as type, I had a difficult time distinguishing between the different characters as well as the main character and her inner thoughts. They were read exactly the same as her dialogue.

Fun for fans of classics
Who was your favorite character and why?
Everett is a character I started off disliking but by the end I found him to be my favorite character.
Was A Love for the Pages worth the listening time?
Yes, because it wasn’t to long I was definitely more willing to listen to it and I was not disappointed.
Any additional comments?
I heard a little static in the background which didn't really bother me but I noticed it.

A clean New Adult romance.
Any additional comments?
A modern spin on some of the classic romances. The love interest in this book is a combination of the leading men in three of Junes favourite classic romance books, Pride and Prejudice, Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights.
I enjoyed that much of the book was set in a library and that the main character loved reading. She never went anywhere without a paperback or her kindle. I loved when she pulled her kindle out of her tiny clutch bag at a formal dinner!
I found the characters likeable and hoped that June would work out what she wanted. I found the romance a bit too "classic" and old fashioned, with declarations of love when they barely knew each other. It seemed to come out of nowhere and I would have liked a bit more tension and build up.
I listened to the audiobook version and the narrator was well spoken and easy to listen to. I recieved this book free in exchange for an honest review.

I read all sort of genres including young adult. For some reason this book had a hard time keeping my attention and pulling me in. It took me awhile to finish.

Sweet Ya romance
Jane, a confused college freshman, doesn't know what she wants to do with her life.
She is expected to follow her step dad and take business classes. Her life changed when she volunteered to work at the Rockford Library.
Everett Rockford is expected to continue in his family's business And marry well.
His life changed on a stormy day while going into the library, literally being knocked off his bike in a rainstorm by Jane.

Both their love of books brought them closer together.

No For Me
This story was given to me via audiobook boom. This was more of a story for young adults or teens. It seemed like a coming of age story where both characters were learning what the true meaning of love is. The narration was very good and the voice went well with the story.

Cute take on old literature.
A Love For the Pages was a clean romance that referenced classic literature through out the book. The main character Jane is a huge fan of Wuthering Heights, Pride and Prejudice, etc and relates her life and those around her to the characters in the classic novels.
This was a sweet romance with little suspense but it was a refreshing read from all the drama filled books I have been reading lately. The characters were likeable but of course you had a few villains but the little drama they caused was needed.
This book was provided to me via Audiobook Boom for my honest review.

Light, sweet coming of age romance
Nineteen year old June Eyermann is back home for the summer after her first year of college. Back home where her mom and step father continue to push her towards academic and career choices they want for her. June, a classic romance book junkie at heart, begins to make some choices for herself starting with volunteering at the Rockford Library instead of a paid position at her step father's office. Here she meets Everett Rockford, a man whose personality has many of the traits from her favorite book heroes: Heathcliff from Wuthering Heights, Darcy from Pride and Prejudice and Rochester from Jane Eyre. Some of their interactions even mirror scenes from those books. As June's relationship with Everett becomes more complicated; so does her inability to see him for who he is and not the book characters she's begun to associate him with.
I found the narrator, Dawn Huestis, to be a great match for June's character. She has a voice that captures the age of being almost grown up yet still vulnerable. She was very competent at being able to read clearly and at a reasonable but energetic pace. She was also able to differentiating between voices with ease.
For the most part, the story was light and sweet and at just under six hours on audio, it was short as well. I was actually uncertain as to who June's love interest was going to be and found that there was always an underlying bit of tension that left me thinking things were not going to work out the way I thought they would. I appreciated June being able to make mature decisions in love, in school, and in work, but more importantly that she was able to make them for herself.
