Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Good Read
Review: This is one book that will be worth your time

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Loved it!
Review: I was a bit disapointed in 'With This Ring' but 'I Thee Wed' made up for it and then some I just loved this book. I keep up with all the Amanda Quick books and have only been disapointed once.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: My Favorite Author!!
Review: Amanda Quick has quickly become my favorite author. Her books never disappoint! All of her novels feature unique, eccentric characters, juicy love scenes, and intrigue galore! I have read all of her titles, and eagerly await each new one as she pens them. Read this book, then hunt down her other titles...it will be worth it!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Definitely not her best work
Review: I am a huge Krentz/Quick/Castle fan, but I was very disappointed with "I Thee Wed." The characters didn't keep my interest. I actually didn't really feel compelled to see them come together. Not the usual sparks I expected, and I had the ending figured out about half way through the book. I think it's time I went back and re-read the Quick classics!! This is probably one of the first Quick books that I didn't read in one sitting. I kept falling asleep!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not the usual
Review: After buying my first Amanda Quick book, I was hooked and now own all of them but I find that with each book that comes out, it's starting to get very formulaic and I could interchange the characters in each book. Come on Amanda, I know you can do better than that. I found this book lacked the usual chemistry and intensity that the first few books had but I'll still wait for the next one to come out and hope that things will improve.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: I could barely finish it.
Review: This book unfortunately lacked the spark that her prev. books had contained. The main charachters lacked that certain chemistry. In all it was a disappointment. If you want to read an Amanda Quick book read another one besides this one.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: A let down after a string of successes
Review: Amanda Quick is fast becoming just another serial writer. With a story line that is more paint by numbers than imaginative (unusual heroine matched with staid hero, mysterious subplot, and a love scene or two), come one Amanda, you can do better than that. I'm glad I read the book at the store and didn't buy. It is not one that's worth keeping.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Not her best, but okay
Review: Like other reviewers, I've read better Quick. I have to agree that the Vanzagara stuff wore thin quite early, although the relationship with the grandmother and the subplot with Swan were more clearly drawn. I enjoyed it, but not as much as some other Quicks. I'm now wondering if Emma's sister will be the focus in a sequel.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Without the Vanzagara silliness...
Review: ... this might have been a great novel, not just a good one. Edison and Emma had all the spark and chemistry of Ms. Quick's early novels and the development of Edison's relationship with his grandmother was well done. But the Vanzagara stuff (Eastern-esque meditation and martial arts) really tried my patience.

It's bad enough that this author, who writes contemporaries under her own name of Jayne Ann Krentz, fills said contemporaries with Zenny heroes who find life's answers in weird pseudo-philosophies. Why must she fill her historicals with the exact same nonsense? I thought that the reason for developing novels under a different name was in order to experiment with *different* stories. What's the point when both lines of novels are the same except for costuming?

Perhaps Ms. Krentz should take a hint from Nora Roberts, whose J. D. Robb futuristic In Death series is extremely different from the novels she writes under her own name. Either that, or Ms. Krentz might as well slap Jayne Ann Krentz on her historicals too rather than go to the trouble of inventing a pseudonym.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: thrilling- more than a common romance.
Review: This was more than just some hot-and-heavy novel with the hero and heroine having sex every two pages. No, this had an interesting plot, which may have come first before the romance. intrigue, emotions, society, and, yes, love-making make this a very good book. The characters are not silly, young upstarts, but matured, intelligent people. The Vanzagara business is a little ripped-off of martial arts and Asian meditation techniques, but it was integrated well into the story. Everything clicked.
