But one thing is standing in Tess\u2019s way\u2015well, one very tall, annoyingly handsome person, actually: Hugh Balfour.<\/p>\n<p>A serious British method actor, Hugh wants nothing to do with Tess (whose Teen Choice Awards somehow don\u2019t quite compare to his BAFTA nominations). Hugh is a type-A, no-nonsense, Royal Academy prodigy, whereas Tess is big-hearted, a little reckless, and admittedly, kind of a mess. But the film needs chemistry\u2015and Tess\u2019s career depends on it.<\/p>\n<p>Sparks fly, but not in the way Tess hoped, when an electrical accident sends the two feuding co-stars back in time to Jane Austen\u2019s era. 200 years in the past with only each other to rely on, Tess and Hugh need to ad-lib their way through the Regency period in order to make it back home, and hopefully not screw up history along the way. But if a certain someone looks particularly dashing in those 19th century breeches\u2026well, Tess won\u2019t be complaining.<\/p>\n<p>A wickedly funny, delightfully charming story,\u00a0<span class=\"a-text-italic\"><em>The Austen Affair<\/em>\u00a0<\/span>is a tribute to Jane Austen, second chances, and love across the space-time continuum.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div itemprop=\"reviewBody\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-lazyloaded=\"1\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" src=\"https:\/\/thelitbuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/tetiana-shyshkina-bJxw_lKIz70-unsplash-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"A photo of stone house and garden in the style of an English manor\" class=\"wp-image-19976\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelitbuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/tetiana-shyshkina-bJxw_lKIz70-unsplash-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/thelitbuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/tetiana-shyshkina-bJxw_lKIz70-unsplash-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thelitbuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/tetiana-shyshkina-bJxw_lKIz70-unsplash-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/thelitbuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/tetiana-shyshkina-bJxw_lKIz70-unsplash-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/thelitbuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/tetiana-shyshkina-bJxw_lKIz70-unsplash-1080x720.jpg 1080w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\"\/><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-abc1b22abfdf617479dcd9a1d7177fd3\">Time Travel &amp; Regency-Era Romance? Yes, Please!<\/h2>\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-b86f6dfb73cf4507c7d98f4c6fc7efdd\"><em>The Austen Affair<\/em> by Madeline Bell surprised me with its warmth and emotional depth. I expected a fun, Austen-inspired rom-com with a time-travel twist; instead, I found a tender story about two people navigating grief,\u00a0love, and the unexpected future they discover in each other.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-38d87d927d67022bf7824739a4a9289a\">Tess Bright and Hugh Balfour deliver a classic grumpy\/sunshine dynamic\u2014messy vs. meticulous, open-hearted vs. reserved. Their chemistry feels authentically Austen-esque yet refreshingly modern, and I loved watching their slow-burn connection unfold.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-2e688c739c38803e0e32e68a5846b329\">When Tess returns to acting for the first time since her mother\u2019s death, she lands the role of Catherine Morland in a new <em>Northanger Abbey<\/em> adaptation. Stepping back into the spotlight becomes a tribute to her mother, a lifelong Austen fan. Grief\u2014Tess\u2019s and later Hugh\u2019s\u2014quietly threads through the narrative, grounding the romance with real emotional stakes.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-e299efedf8342e462664ecdda87d300f\">After Tess and Hugh are suddenly transported to the Regency era, Tess sees the experience as a gift from the universe, a chance to honor her mother in the world she adored. But even across centuries, hearts still need mending. In tentative and tender steps, she and Hugh begin to find healing in one another.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-efb265099fe13c9f8e99a176ab623312\">One passage captures this arc beautifully:\u00a0<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-2f3ed3b2471ea937af30fb7330a980c3\"><em>\u201cA ripple of grief and despair runs through me, like a fever laying waste to my body. I am flung back into a Thousand Oaks bedroom with the lights out, curtains drawn. I have had a love, but not the kind she means. And I realize, suddenly, that to be thrown back into that room\u2026at some point I had to have left it. I believe I only truly left that room when I turned a corner with Hugh. So slowly I was not conscious of it.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-b8697c4b7c76242d2cf47e010b3ce1c4\">As a devoted Austen fan, I came for the world\u2014wandering Regency gardens, dancing at candlelit balls\u2014but I stayed for the heart. Bell delivers a swoony, heartfelt romance that honors Austen while carving out something unique.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-256d7fc1a6efc3a2d30201e1d2673ab8\">I\u2019d recommend Madeline Bell\u2019s <em>The Austen Affair<\/em> as your next time travel rom-com!\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img data-lazyloaded=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/thelitbuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Free-Book-LitBuzz.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19773\" style=\"width:192px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelitbuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Free-Book-LitBuzz.png 1024w, https:\/\/thelitbuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Free-Book-LitBuzz-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/thelitbuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Free-Book-LitBuzz-65x65.png 65w, https:\/\/thelitbuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Free-Book-LitBuzz-440x440.png 440w, https:\/\/thelitbuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Free-Book-LitBuzz-150x150.png 150w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Title: The Austen Affair Author: Madeline Bell Genre: Time Travel Romances, Regency Romances, Women&#8217;s Literature &amp; Fiction Publisher: St. Martin&#8217;s Griffin Release Date: September 16, 2025 Format: Ebook, Paperback, Hardcover, Audiobook Pages: 336 Two feuding co-stars in a Jane Austen film adaptation accidentally travel back in time to the Regency Era in this delightfully clever [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":345605,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[107307,101,140648,100839,168192,168193,97833,168194,168195,168196,168197,102322,126548],"tags":[21382,6399,5848,69846,62377,168198,168199,168200,13251,68664,168201],"dealstore":[],"offerexpiration":[],"class_list":["post-345604","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-adult","category-books","category-comedy","category-contemporary","category-debut-novel","category-enemies-to-lovers-2","category-fiction","category-grief-themes","category-grumpy-sunshine-romance","category-jane-austen-fandom","category-regency-time-travel","category-romance","category-time-travel","tag-affair","tag-austen","tag-bell","tag-debut-novel","tag-enemies-to-lovers","tag-grief-themes","tag-grumpy-sunshine-romance","tag-jane-austen-fandom","tag-litbuzz","tag-madeline","tag-regency-time-travel"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.4 -
