From Booklist *Starred Review* There is nothing Londoners love more than a good scandal, and Amity Doncaster has given the city’s residents plenty to talk about. While en route home to London, Amity’s Good-Samaritan efforts to take care of Benedict Stanbridge, a wounded fellow passenger on the Northern Star, are transformed into a tawdry shipboard tryst by scandalmongers. When Amity finally arrives in London, she has the misfortune to be abducted by the serial killer known as the Bridegroom for his attacks on women. Thanks to her cool head and a cleverly weaponized lady’s fan, Amity escapes the killer’s clutches, only to find herself once again fodder for gossip. Fortunately, Benedict has the perfect solution. If they pretend to become engaged, not only will it diffuse any of the rumors about their shipboard relationship, it will also allow Benedict to stick close to Amity’s side until the Bridegroom can be stopped once and for all. Neatly complemented by equal measures of smoldering chemistry and lively banter, the action-packed plot is served up with plenty of dramatic flair and just the right dash of dry wit, making this a first-rate addition to Quick’s canon of classic historical romances. --John Charles

Bit of a disappointment By Imho The latest Amanda Quick (JAK) is a Victorian murder mystery without the physic element of the recent previous titles. I did miss that aspect at first, but the story seemed as if it would hold up without it. For the most part it does but bogs down in the middle and soon becomes repetitious, even tedious. I love all of JAK's books, under any name, but this one is stale and predictable. Anyone who is a JAK regular will have this figured out long before the end. Sure there are twists and turns but very easily followed as there are not enough characters to provide an alternate ending, nor any red herrings to lead the reader astray. Also, the hero makes one huge leap in logic to figure things out that really comes out of nowhere, a sloppy mistake JAK does not normally make. I gave it three stars as it is still worth reading especially if you are new to Krentz's books.

Nice Read But Ultimately Not Particularly Memorable By Sheila M OTHERWISE ENGAGED is the story of Amity Dorcaster who meets Benedict Stanbridge when she encounters him as he has been shot and left for dead. She saves his life and the town get know one another while traveling on a ship to New York. When they part, Benedict promises to see her in London. Weeks later, Amity is in London and barely escapes from The Bridegroom, a serial killer who kills scandalous women. When Benedict arrives in London, he is determined to help save Amity from the killer.I really, really liked the beginning of this book. It was unique and Amity is such a strong heroine. Her fan that plays such an important part of the book is unique and the scene where Amity uses it to escape from the killer was dramatic and tension filled. I thought the beginning was so good but to me the remainder of the book just didn't fulfill that promise.I really wanted to love this book but in the end could only like it. I didn't feel any particular interest in the romance as we see it between the main characters. I wish we had seen more of their earlier time together because it seemed like the true romance story happens then. Once they are in London the two already have a connection and I felt somewhat cheated.Also, there really wasn't much tension in the mystery since the revelation is not one that the reader can figure out from reading the story but is just revealed as a complete unknown. The additional villains are easily figured out since there are few characters that could be the villain.It may seem like I didn't like the book, but I generally did. It had many of the hallmarks of the author's books that I like but it didn't have that extra that makes it a must read. I really enjoy Jayne Ann Krentz in all her pseudonyms and I have come to expect more. This is a nice book that I liked but is not one that I will turn back to and read again and again.

I get them as soon as I can after they are released and enjoy them immensely but this one just didn't cut it, for me. I found it kind of flat. The mystery to be solved flowed pretty well but the romance seemed to me choppy -- just stuck into the storyline, kind of contrived. Anyway, I was looking forward to it and then, well, I felt disappointed. I loved her stories with characters with paranormal powers. I found those intriguing and fun but this one, for me, was really ho hum. Sorry to be such a downer. I hope this review helps someone. I recommend getting this from the library instead of buying it but that's just me giving advice based on my opinion of this book.
