Pretty typical Quick. Which was the problem I had with it, there wasn't anything new about it. This one felt very much like her other paranormal historical romances. You could have transplanted the H and h from many of her other books into this one and they would have slotted seamlessly into place. ...
This review also posted at A Bookish Compulsion's Main SiteI have had a soft spot for Amanda Quick’s (AKA Jayne Ann Krentz) books ever since I read Mystique; the first substantial book I voluntarily finished and my entry into the world of a reader. At fourteen the medieval setting was fascinating, t...
This came completely out of the left field for me. The story simply didn't suck me in as Ms. Quick's novels usually do.Let's start with the title—The Mystery Woman. That was supposed to be the heroine. To me, she was no mystery. I would've preferred her secrets to be revealed more slowly, not giving...
One of the best Amanda Quick novels I've read in a long time -- it had much more "substance" so to speak than many of her books, with a greater focus on the relationship and the action than on the "psychical" elements (though they were certainly present too).4/5 Stars

First off, I won my ARC edition of this book via a giveaway hosted by Goodreads.Fantastic work, and I would expect nothing less from Amanda Quick as she is one of my favorite authors for a very good reason. No matter what she writing about or what name she is writing by, her tales never disappoint. ...

Standard fare. I preferred The Paid Companion which had a very similar theme (no paranormal powers) to this one. I think the character development here was much weaker.
I thoroughly enjoyed this novel. Her Amanda Quick persona is definitely one of my favorites. The story starts with an action packed opening with Beatrice coming upon her employer and father figure mortally wounded with her barely escaping with her life. I like that the paranormal elements were sup...
