Affair by Amanda Quick
3.0
Affair is a very typical Amanda Quick historical novel. The male protagonist is growly and tries to be authoritarian, and the female protagonist is independent and often obtusely clueless. In this book, as in most other Amanda Quick books, I keep trying to figure out what draws the two together. The mystery plot in this one was pretty good.
I thought I remembered reading Amanda Quick books that had more character development and didn't dwell on the ancient and the paranormal, but perhaps I'm mistaken.
I'm also tired of "bluestocking" heroines that are "firmly" on the shelf at 25. The average age of marriage for women in Regency times was between 23-27. So a woman of 25 could easily expect to still get married if they desired. In Victorian times the average age of marriage was 26 years old for women.
