A Knight in Shining Armor

By: Jude Deveraux

Narrated by: Steve West

New York Times bestselling author Jude Deveraux will capture your heart with this miraculous time slip romance between a modern woman and a literal knight.

Dougless Montgomery has tried everything to achieve the perfect balance between self-sufficient and sexy, independent and agreeable—exactly the kind of girl she thinks a man would want. Still, she finds herself weeping upon a cold tombstone in an English church, rejected and abandoned by her boyfriend on a vacation she planned. Suddenly, Nicholas Stafford, Earl of Thornwyck appears before her but according to his tombstone, he died in 1564.

Despite their shock and the countless differences between a 20th-century girl and a 16th-century nobleman, Dougless and Nicholas are drawn together by a bond that defies reason. Dougless has finally found what she’s been searching for: someone who does not seek to change her, who finds her perfect, fascinating, just as she is.

But neither is prepared for the strength of their ties to the past…or the grand adventure that lies before them. Hailed worldwide as one of the most romantic novels of all time, A Knight in Shining Armor is “the epitome of every woman’s fantasy” (Daily Herald, Chicago).

Kept Me Interested

This is my first J Deveraux book. The begining was hard to put up with. I hated for the heroine to be so weak of character. However, as the story progressed, I was able to experience her change step by step until she became a strong and confident woman. This is a story of hope and love that surpasses all barriers of time. I also enjoyed the small bits of historical fact regarding everyday living in Elizabethan times. I usually like a bit more spice in the books I listen to but there was enough to make the book a good listen. For a time travel story, it was an enjoyable one. I'll probably be buying more Deveraux novels.

Enchanting!

I concur with those who said, "this a must read". It's one of the best books I've listened to.

At first I wanted to shake "door-mat Douglas" for putting up with Robert--for her making excuses for his ill treatment of her...and I wanted to knock him on his you know what.

It was inexcusable when Robert and his ill tempered daughter left Douglas stranded at an old, rarely visited church in rural England with no money and no transportation, but that is when her adventure begins. An adventure that changes her life forever.

I think Steve West was the perfect choice for narrator. He does well portraying both men and women, and reads with such feeling. I laughed and cried as the story unfolded.

Although I'm not into time travel books, I highly recommend this one!

Oh my gosh, I loved it.

This was a wonderful book. I didn't stop till it was over. I haven't heard of this author but she's great. The reader was also wonderful.

LOVE this story, should've been made into a movie!

Very engaging and I love the time travel love story. Narrator's voicing of the female lead could've been better.

wonderful story

I wasn't crazy about the narrator, he made Douglass's sound whinny. but I've lived this story since I first read it many years ago.
