Product Description
Product Description
From the cozy confines of a tiny seaside village to the glittering crush of the a fashionable London soiree comes an enthralling tale of a thoroughly mismatched couple . . . poised to discover the rapture of love.
There was no doubt about it. What Miss Harriet Pomeroy needed was a man. Someone powerful and clever who could help her rout the unscrupulous thieves who were using her beloved caves to hide their loot. But when Harriet summoned Gideon Westbrook, Viscount St. Justin, to her aid, she could not know that she was summoning the devil himself. . . .
Dubbed the Beast of Blackthorne Hall for his scarred face and lecherous past, Gideon was strong and fierce and notoriously menacing. Yet Harriet could not find it in her heart to fear him. For in his tawny gaze she sensed a savage pain she longed to soothe . . . and a searing passion she yearned to answer. Now, caught up in the Beast’s clutches, Harriet must find a way to win his heart–and evade the deadly trap of a scheming villain who would see them parted for all time.

i love this book - I love that harriet's not pretty and Gideon's not handsome, I love that harriet's a practical sraightford soul while Gideon's the tortured reclusive romantic one. Whilst studying a cave looking for fossils Harriet discovers "Ill gotten gains, Loot, Booty" she immedietly summons the local landowner to deal with it, Gideon unused to such a summons falls pray to curiosity and arrives, in the course of investigations Harriet and gideon become trapped in the cave overnight by the tide, thus becomming compromised. And so begins the Taming of the Beast(Gideon obviously, not Harriet). This book is witty totally engaging and by far one of Amanda's better offering's, my copy is now ragged and missing it's front cover through repeated readings

When I first got this book I read it straight through three times in a row, and by now I must have read it at least 20 times and and its like a an old friend, even though I know whats going to happen it still seems fresh when I read it again...which can only be a credit to Miss Quicks writing...Gideon makes a very good tortured hero, and I like the fact that he not a handsome adonis like I like the fact that Harriet's.. well plain..Read this one it's a great way to spend a rainy day...

What can I say? I love this book. Great story, suitably comical and rather endearing. I love the heroine, she is my favourite Quick heroine; not terribly different from other Quick heroines but I love her relationship with the hero. Although I am a born-romantic and terribly bias about romance novels in general; I do recommend this one particularly.

My favorite Amanda Quick.
This is something endearing and unforgettable about this one. The characters are both misfits and so perfectly, and touchingly happy together.
