" This is one of Amanda Quick's earlier novels, but I don't recall reading it before. A rollicking romp, with a sassy heroine and a hero we can all identify with. "

" Disappointed. I had high hopes for Olympia and Jared. I love her distractedness with the real world. And her concern for her three nephews. And her loyalty to her aunts. Jared's cool, collected intensity when going after what he wants is a great foil for Olympia. They do make a great couple. The mystery of the lost treasure added much to the story so I was disappointed to see it left unsolved at the end. Jared wouldn't take Olympia into society, he didn't think to give her jewelry. The least he could do would be to take her and the boys on the grand adventure of her life to the West Indies. Now THAT would have been romantic. "

" I am new to Amanda Quick novels and attempt to find new authors to read every summer. Deception was a flighty rom com with a little intrigue, but not clever enough to really keep my attention. I am moving on to Affair to see if that is any better. "

" This is my favorite Amanda Quick book so far. I felt it had more humor than the other books and not the darkness of the villain that some of the other books have. "

" Another great Jayne Ann Krentz re-read, this one is one of my favorites. I love the characters, the plot(s), and the dialogue. Anything with children and dogs is almost guaranteed to get my approval. "

" As usual an excellent read. Amanda Quick is my comfort read and she never fails to give me a story I enjoy no matter how many times I re-read them. In fact she is one of only 3 or 4 authors I will actually re-read as I have far too many books waiting for me to explore. "

" A good solid Amanda Quick with a damaged hero (sightless eye) and a smart, off-kilter heroine. Three rather naughty orphaned boys, with Jared working as their tutor. It's fun, it's easy on the mind, but it has substance and engaging background characters. "

" This book has romance, suspense, treasure, pirates and a ship. All it was missing was someone walking the plank. Olympia was such a breath of fresh air that paired perfectly with the sea lord. Jared made a most excellent tutor ;-) "

" A reread. I smiled all the way. Not that the book is funny - no it's not. It's a classic romance, but I smiled from the sheer pleasure of reading the old friend and enjoying it once again. It's like an old, favorite, comfy blanket. It might be slightly unraveling from age, but you still love it. "

" Reread, jan 2010. Ebook version.
Vintage Quick, like the scholarly heroine, who pretends to a little more "woman of the world" than she is.
And a hero who isn't really quite the sensible boring type his flamboyant family thinks he is.
