Another winner from Amanda Quick

This has to be my favorite book from this author. H/H were perfect from page one . Storyline was everything you expect from an Amanda Quick book. No disappointments here.

very sexy & pure Amanda Quick!!

I love these 1-title books from Amanda Quick. I know they are not a series, but each book has some similarities, but she always keeps it fresh and very sexy!!

Risky business . . .

Risky business and loads of laughs make up Amanda Quick's _Dangerous_. Once again, Ms. Quick delivers characters who are so well suited for each other that they could only fall in love. Dubbed the Original and the Fallen Angel, Prudence and Sebastian are not defined by their monikers, but are defined by their unique and compelling personalities. Prudence is impulsive, persistent, and brave and Sebastian is dark, brooding, yet oh-so-gentle. These two meet and a love is forged that is at once beautiful and tumultuous. Sebastian has a penchant for growing bored easily, but Prue keeps him on his toes and always interested as she leads him on a merry chase. Watching Prue and Sebastian clash about what things are proper for a woman to do is vastly entertaining. It's also extremely funny how Sebastian confuses love with fondness while being profoundly jealous of other men's interest in Prue. For example, on the subject of a rather daringly cut gown, this exchange takes place: _Prudence_, "My lord, are you implying that you do not care for my new gown?" _Sebastian_, "What gown? I did not notice any gown on you tonight, madam. I thought perhaps you had forgotten to put it on before you left home." Ms. Quick's wit shines through in this novel as it does in all of her work and you'll find yourself laughing aloud. As always, the mystery of the novel is the driving force and this one was quite intriguing. It will keep you guessing until the very last pages. Once again, Ms. Quick presents a tale full of romance, mystery, and humor that will keep you turning the pages and wishing for more.

A Breathtaking Adventure

Amanda Quick's Dangerous trounces most of the novels in the historical genre. The story is absolutely fabulous. This was the first Amanda Quick story I ever read and I have been hooked ever since.Prudence Merryweather is a young woman who investigates the paranormal. She is a self proclaimed blue-stocking who has no interest in fashionable sociey. She is willing to risk everything to prevent her brother from dueling with Sebastian, the Earl of Angelstone.Sebastian also known as the Fallen Angel is mysterious and misunderstood by sociey. He is a man who has spent too much time in the shadows and is positively fascinated by Prudence. The two join up to investigate ghosts who are haunting several members of the ton. Sebastian is awed by Prudence's spirit and personality. Prudence is determined to prove the Fallen Angel doesn't deserve his nickname. The two are married due to extenuating circumstances and Prudence finally manages to thaw Sebastian's frozen heart. Affair has everything any reader of romance needs for a sucessful story. The plot, characters, and dialogue are exceptional. Don't let this book pass you by.

One of Amanda Quick's best

Thuis was a realy good book Prudence was smart and she had a head upon her shoulders and she didn't do stupid things thast would get her or somebody else killed. I loved Angelstone's temprament and the way he included Pheobe in his "investigations". He wasn't a prig and he didn't try to control Pheobe in her inquiries in Spectral Phenomenon (ghosts) and he understood that she was her own person and didn't try to change her. The entire plot and the mystery was good and unlike most Amanda Quick was actually quite realistic.
