Publisher's summary

At 16, 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.

Bring the book to life

This was an exciting tale by Amanda Quick. I loved the protagonist and her reckless ways. It presented a great counter to the hero's more pragmatic attitude. With Anne Flosnik reading, this book came to life!

Good listen, bad narrator

I always enjoy Amanda Quick stories but the narrator is terrible. She always sounds too overwrought and overly dramatic. It ruins the story.

Enjoyed the book not the narrator

I enjoyed the book itself but wanted to strangle the narrator at times. The narrator has a tendency to drag the words out to such a degree that it really slowed down the pace of the book. I expected it to be slow paced anyway but the narrator really dragged it down. At one point I was so frustrated with this tendency that I almost switched to another book, but being a compulsive completer has its benefits. I am glad I stuck with it but will seriously hesitate before I buy another book with her as the narrator. It drove me crazy, well crazier at least!

Wonderful

love it! I've read the book and was very excited when I found it in Audio. Unlike others I thought the narrator was wonderful and very entertaining. Well Done

Great Story/Horrid Narration

Great story but the narrator makes Gabriel sound like a melodrama villain at best, on the verge of an orgasm at times!

Classic Amanda Quick

This book is in my box of "keepers" from A. Quick. I've read it many times and this time, enjoyed both the book and narration. Anne Flosnik's British accent is ideal for historical romances set in feudal and victorian England. She adds an element of authenticity to the read.
