That moment when you realize you've read this before, but apparently it was so forgettable that you didn't realize it until you started reading. I used to read the books published under the Quick pseudonym as soon as I found them either at the library or in mmp. And then a couple had 3 books (that...

A lot of friends loved this book but I just could not connect to the couple. You know the way that a lot of people feel about Lillian from Kleypas' It Happened One Autumn (I personally like her)? That's the way I felt about this heroine, she just rubbed me the wrong way. She's great with her take ch...

I've been wanting to read something by Amanda Quick for some time. I picked up The Paid Companion this week and read it in one go. I started the book at night and couldn't put it down so, I stayed awake all night and finished it. The Paid companion, as the title suggests is a story of a professional...

The plot is good, the kind that I like to read when it is well narrated. I am not saying that Amanda Quick is not a good writer (I have read most of her books, and I still consider her one of my favorite Historical Romances authors), but the thing is I feel that, if you have read half of her work, y...

I listened to this on audiobook while I made my Christmas cards, and it was an enjoyable read and kept me entertained while I attend to my crafting. The narrator used a voice for Arthur that was a bit stuffy, and not at all brooding and sexy, but otherwise, I can't complain. There was a good balance...

Oh this audiobook! How could I ever forget listening to you!Personal Backstory:I was driving alone on a car trip 5 hours to see one of my good friends. Seeing as Ohio is mostly corn and worried about falling asleep, I went to the library to scope out what I could find. This is how I found The Paid C...

I enjoyed this, although I do wish that more romance novels would show something other than the standard 'happily ever after with 2.5 kids' ending.

I really liked the first half of this book but things seemed to drop off after that. While I worried about the heroine's fate during the novel's set up her rescue at the end was never in doubt. Ooh, the hero's only wrong turn ended up yielding a lot of information, and the bad guy's plans went awr...
