by Amanda Quick
I've stated before that Amanda Quick books are pretty much my literary version of comfort food. They do tend to follow a certain formula, but it's a formula that works for me. This book was no exception. I adored both Ursula and Slater, and I really enjoyed watching them not only fall in love over...
Please note that I gave this book 4.5 stars, however I rounded it to 5 stars on Goodreads. I haven't read an Amanda Quick book since I was 20 something. It wasn't that I disliked them. I just started to feel like most of the books followed the same pattern and when I took a break, I forgot to pick t...
Not my favourite of hers but once I started reading I really wanted to finish, so while it's a 3.5 star read I'm rounding up for compulsion. Instead of psionics or the like in this one we have a man who learned ancient arts when he got trapped in a mysterious island and is a vegetarian ever since. ...
In this Victorian romantic suspense, the protagonist Ursula owns a secretarial agency. One of her secretaries is found dead, and Ursula thinks it was murder. She decides to investigate, but for that, she has to postpone her secretarial work for Slater, the hero. Slater is rich, infamous, and slightl...
Ursula Kern is mourning a colleague and a friend who recently died. She is also quite certain that Anne Clifton, the friend in question, didn't kill herself; she was murdered and Ursula set out to prove her point. What she didn't expect was that she would have help to do it, but archaeologist and ad...
I'm a big fan of Amanda Quick's books (she also writes as Jayne Ann Krentz and Jayne Castle), and I found "Garden of Lies" to be a return to form for her. I loved the hero, Slater (although not his name -- here in Australia "slaters" are what we call pillbugs or woodlice) who was an adventurer and t...
Well, what can someone say about an Amanda Quick novel besides the fact that is an Amanda Quick novel? There's romance, suspense, intrigue, murder, drama, love, a tad of humor, lovely characters, the usual setting of London with its dangerous, winding streets drenched in fog...All mixed together in...
A quick, fun read.What I liked: I do not read very many historical romance novels any longer except for a very few. Ms Quick (aka Jayne Ann Krentz, aka Jayne Castle) just happens to be on my short list. Here's why....Her characters are always inventive, likable, and have quirks that make them intere...
So over the years Amanda Quick had been my m/f Mary Calmes. I am not saying that her writing skills are on that level, I know she is much better writer, but she also is writing same book over the years and same characters with minor changes IMO. It is however been working for me very well because I ...
Disappointing. I'm not sure why I keep reading these. The plot seems very forced, contrived. The characters are nearly identical to those in previous Quick books. The relationship seemed to develop out of nowhere. No surprises.
