Rating: Summary: I COULDN'T PUT IT DOWN!!! Review: I read this book several years at the suggestion of a good friend who was always reading. Once I started reading this book, I COULD NOT put it down...I would find myself up at 2 a.m. still reading because I just had to know what was going to happen next. I have read this book 4 times in all, and everytime I re-read it, I find something that I had missed before, (if that's possible).
Rating: Summary: Time Has No Bounderies Review: This Book just brings to life the feeling inside all of us to be able to go to a different time. The romance is incredible as is the humor and the adventure. I just felt as though I were a part of the whole story. I have lent this book out about 10 times now to friends, everyone of them loved the story and asked if I had any more of Jude Deveraux's books. They now call me the library. I can't wait for more time travel books.
Rating: Summary: HISTORICAL ROMANCE MASTERPIECE! Review: The timeless love story portrayed in this novel is utterly profound. No other Jude Deveraux historical romance has ever affected me as much as this has. And I never would have read it if I haven't read the author's commentary at the end of her novel "The Taming." Ms. Deveraux has talked about the endless hours of research she has put into this masterpiece so I was definitely intrigued to try out "A Knight in Shining Armor." I usually stay away from this genre (time travel) and prefer more realistic story lines but I'm glad I didn't. It took me weeks to get over the "withdrawal symptoms." I now want to go to England and visit the remote village of Ashburton, Devonshire, look into St. Andrew's church and maybe find my own knight. I also want to see the house that Sir H. Stafford built in the Elizabethan era (was Thornwyck based on this?). The author is definitely a genius. She has reflected the lifestyle of the 16th century in authentic detail that I totally got immersed in it. Thanks, Ms. Deveraux for writing this one. I'll treasure this book for always.
Rating: Summary: IN A WORD "PATHETIC" ! DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ! Review: This is my second attempt at reading a Jude Deveraux novel. I read "Legend" first and I found it to be awful! Based on the online reviews that mentioned "Knight in Shining Armor" as being so wonderful, I decided to give this book a try. I was amazed that it was so bad! I don't understand what the author finds so appealing about heroines that are so stupid and pathetic. I can not identify with a character that has so little regard for herself. What's with this pattern in these two books of women that are in bad relationships with loser men that mistreat them and yet they want to marry them! What's with her making her female characters come across as helpless indecisive little fools. I couldn't believe that Dougless would want to live with a man that treated her the way Robert did. Let alone marry him! How could Dougless tell her father to find her a man because she didn't know how to choose one herself? I believe that author's like Ms. Deveraux give the romance genre a bad name. I think that anyone that is trying romance novels for the first time will be left with a real sour taste in there mouth after reading this book.

The Knight in Shining Armor is such a wonderful book that makes u feel all these emotions that run through you at once....u dont know whether to laugh, cry, or to feel loved!

Rating: Summary: A New Massachusette resident romance reader Review: I love TO READ ALL OF JUDE DEVERAUX'S BOOKS!! THIS TIME SHE OUT DID ALL OF HER BOOK!. A KNIGHT IN SHINING ARMOR NOT ONLY MADE ME CRY BUT ALSO MADE ME WANT TO BE IN THE STORY. IT'S SO REALISTIC AND SO MUCH EMOTION AND FEELINGS!!! THIS TIME TRAVEL WOULD FANTASIZE YOU IN EVERY WAY.
Rating: Summary: Completely enthralling Review: I could not put the book down once I picked it up! It may not have been a "new" subject but Ms. Deveraux definitely knew how to do it just right... This is one I've read over at least three times already.
Rating: Summary: Wow!! This one deserves 10- Stars!! Review: Thank God I gave Jude Deveraux a second try after reading "The Raider". I've tried trusting the other readers reviews, so I'm very glad to try this as my second read. I found the story very moving and romantic. I've read close to 100 "romance" novels this year and this one somehow struck a cord in me. I felt so much of what the characters felt, especially Dougless's loss when Nicholas first had to leave and then when she had to leave Nicholas. What a heartbreaker!! This book will go on the shelf where I keep the books that I re-read again & again. I recommend this book to all true romantics.
Rating: Summary: Very Very Good....BUT... Review: As usual, I am impressed by Ms. Deveraux. This book was wonderfully romantic and enthralling and I would be lying if I said I didn't love it... however, is it just me, or is the plot strangely reminiscent of Johanna Lindsey's Until Forever? For those that have not read it, Ms. Lindsey's novel also had two lovers that jumped back and forth through time and changed history and ended with the heroine finding a 'reincarnation' of her love in modern times. The particulars were of course different, but... oh well.. Knight was an anjoyable read anyway.
Rating: Summary: GREATEST BOOK OF ALL TIME !!!! Review: A friend of mine recommended that I read a Jude Deveraux book, and I chose A Knight in Shining Armor on a Whim. Little did I Know that this book would change the way I look at romance novels from now on.It was the sweetest love story I have ever read(and since then I've read a lot). I literally cried when Douglas lost Nicholas for the first time.All I can say is that I doubt that I will ever read a better book for the rest of my life!
