From the cozy confines of a tiny seaside village to the glittering crush of the a fashionable London soiree comes an enthralling tale of a thoroughly mismatched couple . . . poised to discover the rapture of love. There was no doubt about it. What Miss Harriet Pomeroy needed was a man. Someone powerful and clever who could help her rout the unscrupulous thieves who were using her beloved caves to hide their loot. But when Harriet summoned Gideon Westbrook, Viscount St. Justin, to her aid, she could not know that she was summoning the devil himself. . . . Dubbed the Beast of Blackthorne Hall for his scarred face and lecherous past, Gideon was strong and fierce and notoriously menacing. Yet Harriet could not find it in her heart to fear him. For in his tawny gaze she sensed a savage pain she longed to soothe . . . and a searing passion she yearned to answer. Now, caught up in the Beasts clutches, Harriet must find a way to win his heartand evade the deadly trap of a scheming villain who would see them parted for all time. From the Paperback edition.

This is a delightful old school romance, Beauty & the Beast retelling. It has obviously influenced many romances that came after it, with its independent blue stocking heroine and tough beast like hero with the heart of gold. This is a great pick if you want to try an old school (90‘s) romance without the heavy triggers. There is a mild one in comments. 4.5⭐️

Nessavamusic Mild scene of threatened rape, none occurs in the book. Some slight gas-lighting. (edited) 3y

My first Jayne Ann Krentz! Honestly that's the most exciting part for me, ticking off a Romancelandia milestone. The book itself was fine. I enjoyed the bluestocking heroine who was fiercely protective of her hero though.

The usual formula but it was the usual fun too. Hariett is an enthusiastic fossil hunter and Gideon is the wealthy scarred aristocrat she calls upon to capture a band of thieves hiding loot in the cave she explores. Romance, misunderstanding and danger ensues before they find their happily ever after. 3🌟

I'd forgotten how much I enjoyed Amanda Quick's characters! Smart, witty women and surly men who realize how lucky they are to have those women. Harriet was sharp, tenacious and caring. Gideon, honorable but alone. They work it out. I'd for Harriet's sister, Felicity, to have her own story!

Not my favourite romance, that's for sure. The dialogue was stilted, the smut lukewarm, and the fat shaming unforgivable. The premise was interesting, however, and the heroine—an amateur archaeologist—was delightful. As a "Beauty and the Beast" retelling, it was a little too on the nose.
⭐️⭐️✨

Ugh, what is with the unnecessary fat shaming, Amanda Quick?

StellaDz Nice! I never knew! But I always hear that crack in the binding when I open a new book. ☹️Will try this method from now on! (edited) 7y

Ahhhh! What to say? Ravished is such a sweet retelling of Beauty and the Beast. I loved the heroine Harriet. She never failed to make me smile or laugh. I believe I smiled the whole time reading this book. The hero, Gideon is definitely getting added to my favorites list. 10 out of 10, most definitely.

My first Amanda Quick novel. I know! The romance was cute but the plot was a bit over the top and dragged out way longer than it needed to be. And the heroine literally gets kidnapped 3 times. 3! In under 400 pages. I did like the humor and characters so I may give Quick another try. #24in48 #readathon
