I've been a big fan of Amanda Quick since way back when she wrote as Stephanie James, Jayne Ann Krentz and Jayne Castle. How is it possible that she wrote a medieval in the exact same guise as one of her regency or contemporary romantic suspense books. I'm not even kidding, one could substitute the clothes, mannerisms, backdrop, etc. and interchange the genres. That's a neat trick, one I've not seen any other author pull off.

This is not to say that she doesn't do a good job drawing you into the time period, but this could just have easily been set in 20th C. Seattle or 1812 London. Although this particular H&H was new to me, I've read about them before in the author's other works, i.e., the way they interact with one another, make love, spar/argue, make up, etc..

The good news is that Quick is a consistent writer, the bad news is that Quick is a consistent writer. And while the story is an interesting one, I can't help feeling like it's a retread.

Great book, characters are so wonderful. Very strong-willed woman, strong man with much patience.

I always enjoy reading books by Amanda Quick. This was good as usual.

Okay. Hellhound sent to mary Lady over a perfume isle.

I really enjoyed reading this book. What an ending but I'll give you no hints.

This is one of my all time favorites by Quick. It's a medieval romance with an interesting story line. A strong heroine that is being forced to marry, as women were in those days, is surprised by a knight with a fierce reputation who values not just the wonderful perfumes and scents made from the flowers her land is famous for, but the woman that oversees their production.

I love all Krentz's books written as Amanda Quick, but especially her older ones.

Typical Amanda Quick Romance. Fast-paced and quirky. Cute, a light read. A couple of chortlingly funny bits. Enjoyable.
