El primer beso ocurrio en un pasillo escasamente iluminado de la mansion de Edwin Hastings. Louisa no lo vio venir...Claro que era imposible que Anthony Stalbridge albergara intenciones romanticas: el beso solo supuso una medida desesperada para evitar que el guardia los descubriera donde no debian estar. Porque, a fin de cuentas, ningun hombre habria considerado que Luisa Bryce, con su vestido sin gracia y sus gafas, fuera una mujer atractiva. The River Knows - Amanda Quick audio performance by K. Kellgren 3 stars This was a mildly entertaining, bodice ripping, regency romance. A feisty, young heroine, ventures into society with an assumed identity to make her reputation as an investigative reporter. Handsome son of the aristocracy is investigating the same criminals. A romantic comedy ensues. Except for the ludicrously predictable and explicit sexual encounters, the mystery reminded me of Deanna Raybourne’s Lady Julia Grey mysteries. Years ago, I enjoyed several of these regency romances by Amanda Quick (aka Jayne Ann Krentz). I enjoyed the campy humor of what seemed a lighthearted spoof of the genre. This book lacked that level of humor. I don’t know if it was because Katherine Kellgren’s performance lacked the comedic delivery of Barbara Rosenblat, or if the writing was simply not that funny.Maybe it was a bit of both. Some things are only funny once, and the formula was a bit tired in this book. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

From New York Times bestselling author Amanda Quick comes a delightful romp filled with breathtaking suspense, dazzling wit, and steamy Victorian passion . . . The first kiss occurred in a dimly lit hallway on the upper floor of Elwin Hastings's grand house. Louisa Bryce never saw it coming. Of course, handsome, wealthy Anthony Stalbridge couldn't possibly have had romantic intentions. The kiss was merely meant to distract the armed guard about to catch the two unlikely sleuths. After all, the only thing these two interlopers have in common is a passionate interest in uncovering the dastardly secrets of Mr. Hastings-a prominent member of society whom they suspect of murder. Brought together by their desire for the truth, Anthony and Louisa finally discover the incriminating evidence they're looking for. But bringing Hastings to justice will be more perilous than they anticipate, especially since their thrilling attraction to danger-and, it turns out, to each other-might very well get in the way . . .
