Amanda Quick is Jayne Ann Krentz's historical-romance pen name, used mainly for witty Regency and Victorian stories that mix courtship with mystery, danger and unusual professions. Ravished pairs a practical fossil hunter with a scarred viscount in a romance shaped by smugglers and local scandal, while Mistress begins with a woman posing as a nobleman's mistress to protect herself from blackmail. Later series such as Ladies of Lantern Street and Burning Cove add secret societies, psychic abilities or 1930s California settings to the romantic suspense. Quick's books are brisk, dialogue-heavy and strongly plot-driven, with intelligent heroines and heroes drawn into investigations as often as drawing rooms. They fit historical romance, romantic suspense and lightly paranormal period fiction, particularly for readers of Stephanie Laurens and Anne Stuart. Read more Less
