Product Details

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! --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.


From Library Journal

Wot? A female private eye in Regency England? Quick looks to add to her string of 11 consecutive best sellers.

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

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
This review is from: Affair (Hardcover)
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.
