Crystal Gardens

Crystal Gardens by Amanda Quick

by Leave a Comment

I stopped reading Quick’s books a few years back. When she started focusing on paranormal and then noir books I just lost interest. I absolutely love her historical romance novels though although some are unintentionally funny to me now. Crystal Gardens is the first book in a trilogy focusing on paranormal romance. I wish I could say that this book was wonderful. But honestly it dragged and hearing/reading about people talking about their physic abilities kept making me snicker. I was very interested in the […]

Two back to back Beauty and the Beast-esque historical romances

The Duke and the Lady in Red by Lorraine Heath

Ravished by Amanda Quick

by Leave a Comment

The Duke and the Lady in Red o I think this is another in a series of “Beauty and the Beast retelling” esque historical romances that I picked up on a whim, and it is…of moderate success. The book vacillates wildly between wanting to be the debauched tale of a a scandalous, disreputable Duke waiting for redemption and a very 90s-era Special Episode of historical romances. To give away the secret, of course our peerless (HA what a pun) Rosalind is secretly hiding a heart […]

Surrender

Surrender by Amanda Quick

This is definitely a re-read. I just never got around to posting a review for this book eons ago. Not much to say except I loved the heroine in this one (Victoria) and hero (Lucas). The two of them being thrown together due to Lucas needing an heiress and Victoria wanting adventure sets them on a fun collision course. Of course based on the time period there are a few times you want Lucas to get kicked hard someplace. He talks about his husbandly rights […]

Tale as Old as Time

Ravished by Amanda Quick

by 4 Comments

I read this for Romance Book Bingo 2017: Fairy tale Retelling square. I have carried this book with me to countless countries and on countless vacations at this point. I love “Ravished.” I think Amanda Quick was firing on all cylinders for this one. I ended up reading this after another romance book I started was ticking me off so badly I just ran to my shelves and pulled this book down. You have a hero and heroine you can root for, an A and […]

Reckless by Amanda Quick

by Leave a Comment

Yes! I am finally done with my reads of some of Amanda Quick’s earlier works (from the 90s). I think I hit peak over this two days ago though. I can’t wait to move onto some other authors. This is the same set-up of most of Quick’s earlier books. Quirky Original in her mid-20s who is in danger of “staying on the shelf” and an older male who knows he should not be attracted to said female, but is, and then denies he is falling […]
