Publisher Description

Beatrice Poole may be a vicar's daughter, but that doesn't mean she's a stranger to the darker passions. Indeed, she knows enough about gothic terrors to have carved out a highly successful career penning horrid novels. But now the talented authoress finds herself in the midst of an ominous adventure that rivals anything she's ever written.

Her beloved Uncle Reggie is dead, Beatrice suspects that he was murdered - all because of his keen interest in a fabled treasure that may not even exist. Rumors abound that the Forbidden Rings of Aphrodite, said to give their possessor the most unnatural powers, have surfaced in London. Yet Beatrice needs more than rumors to uncover the truth. That's why she's braved the wilds of Devon to seek out a leading authority on antiquities and ancient legends: The famously eccentric, unquestionably reclusive, possibly dangerous Earl of Monkcrest, a man believed to dabble in the supernatural.

But bearding the Mad Monk of Monkcrest in his den and dangling the possibility of uncovering a fabulous artifact before him may be the biggest mistake of Beatrice's life. For suddenly, she finds herself joined in an uneasy alliance with a man who is every bit as fascinating as one of the heroes in her novels.

"Amanda Quick has always been entertaining. Mrs. Beatrice Poole (widowed) and Earl Drake (also widowed) face a daunting task to recover the Forbidden Rings of Aphrodite and the lost dowry for her niece. It is a "horrid" search through the fogs of London with two well matched protagonists."

    " Beatrice and Leo are another cute couple. What I liked about this story was all the antiquities interwoven into the plot. I enjoy these sleuthing romance stories where they are trying to "uncover" the dastardly deeds of a mysterious villain. "

    " I got a bit bored with this after about 200 pages and just sort of skimmed through the rest. It's okay, but wasn't really holding my attention - it might be just me though. I think most lovers of Regency romances would enjoy it. I might try another Amanda Quick another time. "
