Publisher Description
At sixteen Phoebe Layton had imagined that Gabriel Banner was a brave and valiant knight, a noble-hearted hero born to rescue ladies in distress. Which was why, eight years later, when she desperately needed help to carry out a vital quest she could think of no one more suited to the job than Gabriel. But when she lures her shining knight to a lonely midnight rendezvous, Phoebe finds herself sparring with a dangerously desirable man who is nothing like the hero of her dreams, and when he sweeps her into a torrid – and blatantly unchivalrous – embrace, she can’t help but fear that she’s made a dreadful mistake. It’s a kiss that will seal Phoebe’s fate. For now the exacting Earl of Wylde has a quest of his own: to possess the most intriguing, impulsive, outrageous female he has ever met…even if he has to slay a dragon to do it.

"I listened to the audiobook version of this book during my flight from Oakland, CA to Austin, TX. It was able to keep me from boredom. It was interesting enough that I continued to listen to it for the rest of the day until I went to sleep. I enjoyed the story and I like Phoebe's character (the heroine). I liked Gabriel's character at first as well, but in my opinion, as the book went on he became a little too controlling."

" audiobook. Most of the books I've read by Amanda Quick (Jayne KRentz) have been Arcane Society (paranormal)...this one was not. Really enjoyed it. "
— Susan, 1/31/2014 -
" I like that both main characters like to collect old books of medieval literature. The adventure and mystery kept me intrigued. The character's chemistry is hot. "
— Sue, 1/1/2014 -
" I enjoy Amanda Quick's writing and have read most of her books. "

" took me some time to get in the story, but then it was great. Especially love the mother and when the family sticks together. Great fun! "
— Barbara, 11/30/2013 -

— Annette, 11/22/2013 -

— Jackie, 9/26/2013 -
" Another enjoyable light read - as expected. "
— Jane, 9/1/2013 -
" My favorite Amanda Quick story. I reread it just for fun! "
— Becky, 8/13/2013 -
" I managed to slip this gloriously trashy novel into the last week of my school holiday reading. Quick is always entertaining; much tongue-in-cheek, bodice busting romance. "
— Catherine, 7/30/2013 -
" 3.5 out of 5 stars. "
— Lint, 12/29/2012 -
" More like 3.75 but still alright. "
— Kate, 7/13/2012 -
" Another go-to author when I need a happy ending, and charming dialogue. The heroines are always slightly quirky, the heroes, of course, dark and brooding. A wonder escape to another era author. "
— PJ, 5/28/2012 -
" I don't know why, but I just couldn't get into this book like I have Quick's (Krentz's) other books. I thought Phoebe and Wilde were sweet but nothing really set them apart as romantic characters. "
— Me, 5/9/2012 -
" It wasn't my favorite by Amanda Quick...I found it a bit drug out in some places and also a bit rushed in others. It's not terrible by any means but there are more intriuging books out there by this author. "
— Paige, 3/30/2012 -
" Really witty and well written. Recommended to all those who like this genre. "
— Nupur, 1/16/2012 -
" This was a nice read, entertaining, pretty much what the author used us to. Good to spend some time with just to relax and enjoy. "

— Cheryl, 7/1/2011 -
" Quite a bit better than average. "
— Barbara, 6/12/2011 -
" I liked that Phoebe was her own person, although sometimes she got to be annoying and didn't think somethings clearly enough. <br/> <br/>A fun historic romance to pass time by. "
— Lianna, 5/14/2011 -
" 2.5 Trying hard to be funny, but not quite succeeding. "

— Sue, 9/7/2010 -
" This was one of the very few books that, when I was finished, I immediately started to re-read it. The characters are great. It is funny, exciting, and very romantic. "
— Isabella, 4/14/2010 -
" I love that they are both book-collecting geeks. This is also one of the funnier Amanda Quick romances. Although the characters are so stereotypical and the plot is cliche, it all skips along so merrily that it's a really fun ride. "
— Greymalkin, 2/17/2010 -
" Great book, I really loved Phoebe's character and the word - game between her and Wild. Great descriptions. "
— Merima, 9/26/2009 -
" True confession - I think I've become a historical romance junkie. <br/>Perhaps I have a corset-wrapped heart. I keep returning to these books and think Amanda Quick is one of my favorite. <br/>I found the characters quirky and likeable. "
