Read in February, 2008
Strong-willed, and with a redhead's combustible temper, paid companion Emma Greyson finds herself embroiled in a dangerous adventure with the dashing Edison Stokes. A wealthy member of Regency England's "Polite World," Stokes follows the clue in a dying man's last words to arrive at Ware Castle, where he suspects a dark plot is underway. At the castle he encounters Emma, who stands out among the era's decadent and depraved society as a woman of sharp intelligence. From their awkward in...more

So our heroine is an Emma with a fiery redhead and a combustible temper without fortune or connection, and forced to work as a paid companion to support herself and pay for her sister's school fee. Sound surely quite on the contrary to the world-famous Austen's Emma,“handsome, clever, and rich, with a comfortable home and happy disposition,” doesn't it?
Well, at least the two Emma both possess“the power of having rather too much her own way", stubbornness, in another word.

What I learned from this book: "Don't judge a book by its cover". The cover is pink and looks like a romance, which it is, but I thought that if you like to read Anne Perry's Thomas and Charlotte Pitt Victorian mysteries, you would like this book, too.
Adrian, this book is packed up and on it's way to you, along with The Magician's Assistant by Ann Pratchett, which I thought was a "magical" book.

Yet another quirky lower-class-woman-marries-rich-lord type of book, but as I enjoy those, I have no problem getting around any hangups about that. There was a lovely little exotic twist that I suspect the author has used in previous books, since it wasn't completely fleshed out about a society of ninja-like folks, so I'll have to check it out and see what else I can find.

Not one of my favorite Jayne Ann Krentz genres, this one is Vanza. As usual, I re-read it annually and enjoy the other aspects of the book, but it's a bit harder to ignore the references to Vanzagara in this one than in some others. The characters, on the other hand, are great, particularly Emma and her repeated attempts to get a reference from Edison.

I Thee Wed - Ok
Quick, Amanda (aka Jayne Ann Krentz) - 2nd in Vanza series
Hiding from the advances of a lecherous gentleman during a country house party, lady's companion Emma Greyson stumbles upon the enigmatic Edison Stokes, an aristocratic sleuth on the trail of a thief who has stolen a sacred book.
I prefer her contemporary romances.

Another interesting read from Quick. I discovered after reading this novel that it was actually should be read before Lie by Midnight. I think I liked this one even more than Midnight. I enjoyed the secret society and other historical aspects. As usual, Quick has great wit and a good mystery. A most definite fun read.
