One of my very first Amanda Quick novels that I read while I was 14 years old. I adored the story instantly and have loved these classic Amanda Quick novels so much that I have bought and re-read them throughout the years. JAK/Amanda Quick became such an instant hit for me when I was young was due to the fact that her heroines were often very intelligent and unconventional beauties. For example, in DANGEROUS, Prudence Merryweather is a spectacle (glasses) wearing spinster (granted she was only 25 yrs. old) who had an unusual hobby of investigating ghosts. Prue was not a conventional beauty of her time but very much a modern thinking woman who happened to live in the 1800s. I loved that about all of JAK/Amanda Quick stories. All of her heroines and heroes are modern thinkers who were only limited by the rules of society in which they lived.
