Product Description

From Amazon.com

Regency writer Amanda Quick is one of romance's greatest authors for a reason: she can manipulate even the most discerning reader. In Affair, she takes the most unlikely hero, a nondescript, scientific nerd, and a bastard, and turns him into one of the most desirable "to-die-for heroes" ever. Of course, as the reader, you feel that you (and the heroine) are the only ones in on this fabulous secret. Of course, there's a great plot, great sex, and a happy ending, too! Don't miss this one!

From Library Journal

Enormously popular romance writer Quick scores big again with this delightful, frothy love story featuring Charlotte Arkendale, who is left to fend for herself following her mother's death and her stepfather's subsequent squandering of the family fortune. She creates an intriguing profession of investigating the intentions, honorable or otherwise, of her clients' suitors. Unfortunately, one of her clients winds up dead, and Charlotte is determined to find the killer. Baxter St. Ives, the required love interest, is also investigating the murder. Predictably, the two join forces, struggling with their growing feelings for each other. These two characters are so likable that we can only hope to see them again in a sequel. As always, Quick understands her readers and delivers an entertaining, sensual, albeit paper-thin, plot. Add this one to your "guilty pleasures" list and buy multiple copies.?Terrill Persky, Naperville, Ill.

4.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful characters trapped in a ridiculous plot, Sep 13 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Affair (Mass Market Paperback)

Let me start by admitting that the plot of _Affair_ is completely preposterous. The villain's identity is obvious from the Prologue, the secret society is outlandish and unbelievable, and the book's final "showdown" between the Good Guys and the Bad Guy borders on just silly. And ugh, those chemistry puns . . .

And yet, four stars. Why? Mostly because Baxter and Charlotte are my favorite Quick couple. Charlotte's career as a private investigator strains the bounds of believability, but it's just plausible enough, and her character is lively and engaging. Prickly Baxter provides a perfect foil for Charlotte. Both the hero and heroine have strong back stories and are sympathetic and interesting, and by the end of the second chapter I knew I had to find out what happened to them (as if the outcome was in doubt).

Even though Quick sends this interesting and romantic couple through some of the most preposterous plot contrivances imaginable, it's still a good read - just suspend disbelief in everything except the main characters.

4.0 out of 5 stars This was better, Sep 6 2003

By	C. Gilliland "brain freeze" (ARNOLD, MD United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Affair (Mass Market Paperback)

I like this one because it has a great deal of affection and just more affection. I do think this one is one of her more better novel. This had a hero that i rather liked and the girl was alright....in this book it was fun seeing how the main characters played off each other. So I do recommend this one.

2.0 out of 5 stars Delightfully Surprisingly Enjoyable, Aug 20 2002

By	Sue (Bentonville, Ar USA) - See all my reviews

I discovered this book quite accidentally. I had never heard of Amanda Quick (or Jayne Ann Krentz). I thought it would be boring, but it was engrossingly interesting. I thought the hero was a very sexy guy and the heroine was ok,if not quite believable. The plot was obvious almost from the beginning, but I still had no trouble reading it. I plan to read all the books I can by Amanda and Jayne Ann.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely amazing!
I have just finished this book and I found it very different from anything I have read so far. Firstly, the hero is (surprisingly) a scientist and this is already a difference. Read more

I really enjoyed this book. It is not the same perfect guy meets a perfect girl and they fall in love with obstacles along the way. Baxter is one of my favorite heroes. Read more
