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. "

---. How to Marry a Marquis. [Set in 1815] NY: Avon, 1999. [See also this page]

---. Sister of the Bride. NY: Zebra, 1997.

---. "The Valentine's Day Husband." In A Valentine Bouquet. NY: Zebra, 1997.
