Summary: Amanda Quick back on top
Comment: The Paid Companion is one of the best Amanda Quick's I've read for a while. The pace is fast, the plot compelling, and the characters likeable.
Elenora loses her home and is forced to take up a position as a paid companion, but there is more to her employer, Arthur, than meets the eye. I'm always a sucker for this kind of plot - I loved Amanda Grange's Marriage at the Manor, which is an Edwardian along similar lines - and Amanda Quick does it justice. There's plenty of wit, humor and adventure, as Arthur tries to track down a killer, and of course there's romance.
I've not been all that keen on her last few books but this definitely has the old sparkle. Recommended.

Summary: She's Baaack!!!!
Comment: Wow! I just finished "The Paid Companion" and it is great. This book has all the things you look for in an Amanda Quick novel.
Unlike her last three books, we have a wonderful heroine, Elenora Lodge, who has lost everything because of her step-father. Like the best Quick heroines, she doesn't take it lying down. She has a PLAN.
A little (very little) downcast, she is seeking a new job as a paid companion, when our hero, Arthur, the Earl of St Merryn enters.
He is seeking a lady to play his bethrothed.
Through twists and turns, with humor and wit, we follow the adventures of the merry pair. Arthur is hunting the killer of his uncle, and plans to detour the marriage minded ton away, by introducing Elenora to them as his fiancee.
Both soon discover they are well matched in the brains department and Elenora becomes Arthur's partner in the search for a killer. They not only find adventure, they also find each other.
I really enjoyed this book. From the descriptions of a weary, marital-minded aristocracy, to the passionate love scenes, this is pure Quick.
Thanks Amanda!

Summary: Not worth reading...
Comment: Amanda Quick (Jayne Ann Krentz) has long been one of my favorite authors...however, the last few offerings have been lackluster, canned, and not up to par.
Ms. Quick (Krentz) has long been known for her off-beat, unique, inspiring characters. I miss her quick wit, sense of humor, and truly inspiring love stories.
