Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Amanda Quick proves once again that opposites most definitely do attract in her new Regency romance, I Thee Wed.Sharp-witted lady's companion Emma Greyson has as much trouble holding a job as she does holding her tongue. But lack of references can't deter Emma; she just writes her own and finagles a new position. Her present employment brings Emma to a tedious house party in the country where she spends most of her time trying to dodge the lecherous groping of the gentlemen guests. In fact, to avoid just such an encounter Emma is forced to hide in a wardrobe. The only problem is that the space is already occupied--by mysterious financier Edison Stokes, no less! Stokes is on a quest to locate a volume of arcane potions that could prove deadly if it falls into the wrong hands, and he believes the text is in the possession of one of the partygoers. Emma soon finds herself the focus of another kind of attention, equally undesirable, when her highly developed intuition makes her susceptible to the powerful potions of the black arts. To protect her, Stokes hires Emma to be his assistant, but quickly realises that keeping Emma out of danger is a full-time job. The only solution is to keep her close to him--very close to him. And neither Stokes nor Emma minds that at all! Best-selling author Amanda Quick keeps readers begging for more in this highly entertaining historical. --Alison Trinkle

3.0 out of 5 stars WHAT'S ALL THE FUSS ABOUT?, 28 Nov 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: I Thee Wed (Hardcover)
I am a huge JAK and AQ fan, so I waited eagerly for this to come out. I had read reviews that said it was the best thing she had written for ages, and others that said it was terrible. But quite honestly, it was neither.

Despite what I had read, this wasn't a formulaic novel - in fact, maybe that was the problem. It never really seemed to get started, and my overwhelming impression of it was a feeling of 'Is this all?' It seemed like AQ was trying to explore new ground, and break that very samey mold she's fallen into lately, but it just didn't work. I kept getting the feeling that I had missed something - and of course I had, but it was something missing in the book, not in my understanding of it.

All in all, I can't say it was great or awful, but it was a bit of a disapointment. So if you are looking for something to renew your faith in JAK, then look for one of her older offerings.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Quick., 8 April 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: I Thee Wed (Hardcover)
This book is another example of why I love Amanda Quick. She is a so fun to read. I never get mad at her for taking me or the characters where we wouldn't want to go. Her writing lets your mind run wild with images. It is sooo easy to get inside the book. ex: ....as she sits up after the tumble she blows a leaf out of her mouth. I so saw her huffing that leaf out. lol My only regret is that I've read EVERYTHING she has written and now have to wait til the next. Waiting, what a bummer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Story, 2 April 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: I Thee Wed (Hardcover)
I always wonder where some of my favorite authors, such as Amanda Quick (a.k.a. Jayne Ann Krentz), get all of their ideas. Who knows. With I Thee Wed Ms. Quick has done it again. This is a fast-paced tale of treachery, deceit and of course love between two souls meant to be together. The snobbery and airs of "polite society" are hard for the intuitive, quick-witted heroine, Emma Greyson, to tolerate. Forced to serve as a paid companion to women of the upper-crust when her ship quite literally failed to come in, Emma tries in vain to learn how to hold her sharp tongue and keep her job. Emma's fate and the story take a marvelous twist when on one night during a house party the hero declares her to be his betrothed in order to save her from the hang-mans noose. Emma is far from thrilled but a life working for Edison Stokes is better than no life at all. Edison is the illegitimate son of the late Lord Exbridge. He has enough money to be accepted and even grudgingly respected by those with, shall we say, more traditional parentage. Edison is a former student of a mysterious martial art called Vanza and in search of its Book of Secrets, stolen from the Temples of Vanzagara. The plot revolves around the quest for this book and the secret recipes contained within. Emma at first is bait Edison uses to try and lure a thief into the open. When the plot takes a murderous turn, more than one in fact, Edison is faced with a very real danger to the woman he has come to love and must protect. As Emma rarely does as she is told, in order to protect her he must place his life on the line as well. Clear your calendar for a couple of days when you pick up this book. You will not want to do anything else until you finish it.
