This wasn't a favorite. It was good but I found Phoebe a bit annoying and a very hard learner. She had a wonderful family and it was a good love story. The hero was a very cool guy. I found myself anxious to finish so I could find a better book.

I really enjoyed this book! Phoebe is so strong, independent and fearless and I loved her. Gabriel is so perfect for her. I could understand Phoebe well-how wonderful it would be to have a knight to rely on!
Gabriel is so stubborn but then he has had to learn the hard way that life is too tough and unfair - thank goodness he "finds" Phoebe - his perfect match in every way!

I always enjoy Amanda Quick's inventive characters and stories, this book is no exception!
Adorable, excellent light reading
Good. Heroine has a limp. Story is into knights and chivalry.
I did not like Phoebe, she was too much. unnecessarily so.
From a crumbling fairy tale castle on the stormy Sussex Coast to a dazzling, dizzying masquerade ball comes an enchanting tale of a charming knight, a daring maiden, and a sweet, searing, storybook love.....
At sixteen, Phoebe Layton had imagined that Gabriel Banner was a brave and valiant knight, a noble-hearted hero born to rescue ladies in distress. Which was why, eight years later, when she desperately needed help to carry out a vital quest, she could think of no one more suited to the job than Gabriel.
But when she lures her shining knight to a lonely, midnight rendevous, Phoebe finds herself sparring with a dangerously, desirable man who is nothing like the hero in her dreams, and when he sweeps her into a torrid--and blatantly unchivalrous--embrace, she can't help but fear that she has made a dreadful mistake. It is a kiss that will seal Phoebe's fate.
