Summary: A Medieval Delight
Review: This is one of her best novels to date. It is the story of a young woman whose inheritance and lands have been stolen by her uncle, who bargains with a Knight to help him find a green crystal, property they both claim, if he will help her and her brother get out from under their uncle's control. Set in medieval times, this is a glorious love story. Watching the formidable knight soften as his affection for his wife grows, is touching. The atmosphere is so authentic, you think you are inside a medieval castle, or attending a tournament of Knights. HIGHLY recommended. This wil be a cherished book.

Summary: Everything a romance should be
Review: This was my first Amanda Quick novel and I have read it several times since. And to date it still remains my favourite. Hugh and Alice are great fun. Their battles are legendary and Alice has so much courage & love, and a love of strategems that Hugh is definitely the right guy for her. My favourite scene is where she calls in her boon from her tower window. Great stuff. A definite keeper. Thanks Ms Quick.

Summary: It's a must read!
Review: This was the first Amanda Quick book I read and it's absolutely terrific! One you start reading it you cannot put it down. The heroine is what a heroine should be. Beautiful, intelligent, headstrong, willful, bold, and daring....Did I forget anything else? She has a sharp tongue(razor sharp) and a quick mind. The hero is tall, dark, and mysterious. Lady Alice approached Lord Hugh with a bargain that bonded them for life. Diane

Summary: Both were searching for something the other had . . .
Review: Thus, Alice and Hugh are thrown together in the thrilling novel, _Mystique_. In the style that fans have grown to love, Amanda Quick weaves the tale of a strong-minded, spirited heroine and an honorable, legendary hero. Both characters are bold and daring and complement each other's personalities. As always, I was well pleased with the way the characters were portrayed. They were not only plausible but charming. You'll feel as though you know these two people as well as they know each other. Alice is quite impetuous and head-strong and often reckless and willful. It is really quite comical the way she never listens to Hugh. Hugh is mysterious, vague and even exasperating but even so he is vastly appealing. Despite his name and reputation, Hugh the Relentless has a kind heart and is truly capable of love and mercy. Both are obstinately stubborn and seem to take great pleasure in arguing with one another. Even so, their love is at once touching and tender and will bring tears to your eyes. With her usual flare, Ms. Quick begins this book with a bang and the action continues from there. _Mystique_ is set in the middle ages and is a nice twist from Ms. Quick's usual books concerning the London 'ton.' She handles the medieval setting with the same elegance as her Regency titles. You're transported to Ms. Quick's world and it's a lovely, lively place to be. A peek at the future of our couple at the end of the book is a nice touch, letting you know that all will remain well between them. Once you start reading Amanda Quick, you'll never stop as she turns out one exceptional book after another.

Summary: my favorite so far
Review: well i'm a new addict to Quick's books and so far this has been my favorite of them all. So much so that I am going to go buy it so i can read it again.

The best part of the whole story was being able to identify with the female in the role. Alice was determined and stubborn when it comes to what she wants and Hugh was an equal match to her. It was refreshing to read about a strong female and her falling for someone who was her equal, even if she wouldn't admit to it.

if you want to read something that is just fun and refreshing, i recommend this book. i normally do not read romantic books and like the wicked widow this one had the right amopunt of plot and romance to make it entertaining to read.

Summary: A Wonderful Tale!!
Review: Well, Jayne Ann Krentz aka Amanda Quick has basically one formula for her stories. But what a formula. She is light, she is witty, but the Quicks are just her JAKs in period costume. But that does not stop her from giving you a winner tale. If you like JAK/Quick, you will LOVE her only medieval. If you are not her fan...your tough luck..lol...you are missing one great time!!

The one of two medievals (Desire being the other) from the talented Ms. Krentz/Quick. With her usual charm and wit, she creates lovable, endearing characters and as with all Quick/Krentz novels, the emphasis is on fun and hi-jinx and romance.

This time Lady Alice joins forces with Sir Hugh the Relentless,on a hunt for a long lost stone, which could cost them their lives. The tale is so endearing! Lady Alice will Capture your heart!!

When Lady Alice plucks up her nerve and approaches Hugh the Relentless, is its a dark and stormy night (lol). He is black haired, with amber eyes (with JAK you get amber, green or grey!). The first impression, he is every bit the fearsome warrior of his reputation, but to Lady Alice he is her knight in shining armour. She thinks she can control this man, after all she has been driving away fortune-seeking suitors for years, along with managing her interfering family.

Lady Alice has deliberately lured him to this man with the promise of a green crystal belong to him. But Lady Alice is using it as a bargaining chips (also she does not have it!!). She is hoping to find it, and her dowry to free herself and her brother from her uncle's clutches. Hugh agrees to her terms, only, he has terms of his own: that Lady Alice must agree to a temporary betrothal and spend the winter in Hugh's great stone fortress, Scarcliffe Keep.

The adventure begins, but Sir Hugh's lifelong enemy is plotting against them.

One of the few authors I keep in hardback and there is a reason for it!!
