Summary: Ravished is marvelous!!
Review: Yes, Amanda Quick does it again! Ravished is marvelous. Why didn't I give it five stars? Because it doesn't live up to Reckless, my favorite, but it is still marvelous.Basically, a Beauty and the Beast story, although the Beast is an honorable man with a reason to brood. Harriet, our heroine, enlist the aid of Gideon, Viscount and future Earl of her my village, to solve the mystery of a burglary ring. Harriet is an archeologist (fossil collector as she is called in the novel)and she stumbles upon the hideout of the burglary ring while fossil collecting in the caves of her village. Harriet, of course considers the caves her 'personal caves' and believes her mission is to capture the thieves and maintain possession of her precious caves. Yet, Gideon has a past and history of ravishing young innocent maidens and then leaving the maidens in a disgraceful state. He is also accused of driving his deceased fiance' to suicide. Gideon is scarred physically and mentally. Yet, it will take a fiesty spinster whom defends Gideon verbally and physically to free him of his past hurts and open his heart. Harriet discovers and uncovers a wonderful beast in her caves and in her love. Marvelous!!
