Notes from my reading diary for May, 1999: "It's the same basic regency Quick
formula, with the variation of both
characters being widowers and the common obsession is
finding a valuable
antique statue. There really isn't much to say beyond if you
like
Quick's other regencies, this one goes down just as fast and
sweet.
Quick's regencies are like a drug--the first couple are
memorable and
mind blowing, and then you plateau. The rest are good, but
never quite
recapture the intensity of the first few because it is basically
the
same plot and characters again and again. New sets, new
clothes, but
same old, same old."
---. I Thee Wed. NY: Bantam, 1999.
Quinn, Julia. Dancing at Midnight. [Set in 1816] NY: Avon, 1995. [See also this page]
Notes from my reading diary, April 1999: "This is
a classic romance of the older, wiser, wealthy heroine and
the
older, war-wounded, embittered hero. The hero's trauma
involves a rape
scene in the war. Additional trauma results because
someone is out to
kill the hero and all his loved ones. Comic touches involve
limps and
blisters, plagiarized poetry, and climbing in and out of
windows in
London. The hero and heroine seems particularly
sex-starved, and much of
their romance involves pure lust. There are lots of
characters clearly
from a prior romance by the author drifting about the book as
well.
The author has enough skill to make you forget all the
cliches and enjoy
the same old story and same old happy ending one more
time."
---. Everything and the Moon. [Set in 1807] NY: Avon, 1997. [See also this page]
---. Brighter Than the Sun. [Set in 1817] NY: Avon, 1997. [See also this page]
Notes from my reading diary, April 1999: "There
is a lot of farcical, slapstick comedy in this romance. The
villains are so familiar--the wicked stepmother, the evil
cousin--that
they never scare one. The battle of the new wife vs. the
hero's
resentful female relatives is another familiar plot we
recognize and can
enjoy. The hero and heroine suffer a lot of physical injuries,
but only
rarely do the injuries seem real or serious. The whole plot is
a huge
cliche, but redone in charm and with sweetness. "
