Phillipa (Flip) Allison and her friends, forming the "Four Musketeers," engage in their book club and share their fascination with Pride and Prejudice. Flip works as an ornithologist and usually wears trousers with unimpressive bird shit on them. Flip is taken with Magnus Knightley, a British hunk from the University of Cornell and visiting scholar, who's sitting at a nearby table at the coffee shop listening to the girls loudly discuss the book. None are aware that Magnus is "the" expert on Pride and Prejudice and quite familiar with every word written.

All hell breaks loose when Flip takes the advice of her friend and decides to have a massage by a mysterious masseuse who allows Flip to envision herself in her favorite book through a dream. When hot sexual events occur in her dream, Flip wakes to the realization that she's changed the contents of the original writing of the book. In an effort to return things to normal, Magnus, among others, is drawn into another dream in an attempt to restore the contents. Their journey in the dream explodes their entire world with hot, hot sex. Madame K promises to help restore things at the expense of Flip and Magnus losing all memory of the events and each other.

I loved all the mystery of finagling the events in an effort to set things right again. Ms. Cready's characters were very believable, intelligent and successful people. The story includes a lot of humor and clever incidents throughout. Gwyn Cready is a very inspiring author who has a terrific sense of originality and a gift for the paranormal. I thoroughly enjoyed reading her novel.
