Rating:  Summary: dissapointed Review: Today I read "Scandal" a book written by my favorite author. As always I prepare myself for a good read, after all this is Amanda Quick Im talking about. Not too far into the book I decided this wasnt one of her best and once I concluded it I also concluded that I was dissapointed. Normally I would rave about her work, and had I not been truly let down I would have put on a happy face along with a good review, but that is not the case. I will nevertheless continue to read her books, and I will continue to enjoy her writting as well.

Rating:  Summary: Revenge is a Dish Best Served Cold Review: Well, I must admit that I couldn't stand the naive romanticism of Emily initially. And I found it hard to imagine how Simon was attracted to her (which it appeared to be so), even though he meant to marry her for revenge. Anyway, as the story progressed, it was getting more interesting. Simon ended up not as mean as one would expect from someone seeking revenge but Emily's naivety bordered between boldness and stupidity. Nevertheless, I do find myself enjoying the read, minus some of the literary lines. It's always sweet to see Simon falling in love with Emily through his behaviour.

Rating:  Summary: I really enjoyed this book ! Review: While this work may not be my favorite Amanda Quick novel (With This Ring and I Thee Wed are my two favorites), I still found it to be an enjoyeable read. It was a page turner and very hard to put down !However I must admit, I couldn't stand poor Emily's family and if I had been her, I would have written them off LONG ago ! Her patience with them did border on indulgence and enabling. That said, I still would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys historical fiction. While it's not Quick's best, it's still a pleasure to read and enjoy.
