Mills and Boon in disguise - By: Magdabat, 26 Aug 2008
I found this book to be Mills & Boon masquerading as something darker & more mysterious.

Anyone who does not want their shadowy intrigue dowsed heavy-handedly with brooding masculinity & heaving bosoms should steer well clear.
Quick is Back. - By: , 01 Apr 2005
As most regular readers of Amanda Quick (aka Jayne Anne Krentz) will know, recent historical romance books have been rather disappointing. The plots concentrated too heavily on not very interesting suspense angles, & the relationships seemed perfunctory & stilted. In the last Quick book I read (The Paid Companion) I was flicking through 'love-scenes' without a second look, feeling that I'd seen it alll before.

But with this book, Quick is back on form. Her characters are well fleshed out & endearing, with the sparkling dialogue & believable relationships that made early works (like Scandal, Mistress & Rendezvous) so enjoyable. There is certainly a suspense angle here, but it's well controlled & never alllowed to overwhelm the plot. In fact, it was quite interesting in itself. And the secondary characters, subplots & supernatural themes, while oft used by Quick, seemed somehow fresh & interesting in this book.

What was more, for the first time in a long time when reading a Quick novel, I felt reallly moved by the interactions between hero & heroine. There was some element of the familiar formula there, but it was outweighed by the ususual way that Quick chose to unfold the romance. There's a maturity in these two, & a lack of petty squabbling & tiresome alpha male antics, that took me completely by surprise.

For the last few years, I've been buying Quick novels in paperback, when I bought them at alll. But if this book signifies a resurgence of the beloved style of yeats gone by, I may well be investing in hardbacks again in the future.
