Ravished was a true delight. I am glad I was able to land on this prompt and get to this book. One of my main goals for the year is to read more of this author's historical romances. Especially her older ones as many readers just rave about them and they are so well done in low inner angst and they have such solid humor attached to them that really gives off that charming endearing vibe that comes so easily with her writing. I was able to find this one in audio. Its on Anyplay if any of you are interested, its ironically not available on Amazon. Anne Flosknik has such talent in older historical romances and I love how she narrates. She is one of the better historical narrators in my opinion and isn't talked about enough.

Ravished wasn't quite the book I expected it to be. I was hoping the "smuggling and pirating" would be a bit stronger, but it still had some solid elements to the story. I loved the marriage of convenience aspect though and this HEROINE. I loved how all in she was for the relationship and how she saw through the gossip and believed in her man over it. She was always defending him even at the cost of causing gossip and scandal to protect him .....Can we please get many more heroines like this please? It really reminded me a bit of Elisa Braden's heroines. The romance was a a delight. It had quite a few swoony moments and I loved them in their quiet moments.

Overall I had a blast with Ravished and it was entertaining, adventurous and sensual. I can't wait for more Amanda Quick in the future.

This was my first Amanda Quick book and it was a DELIGHT! I don’t know why I wasn’t expecting all the banter and wit here, but it was great. It’s got beauty and the beast vibes with a scarred, reclusive hero. I loved Gideon’s sarcasm and dry humor, which matched perfectly well with Harriet’s sassy stubbornness. She’s a paleontologist and it was just so funny how obsessed she was with her bones. They find themselves in a compromised position so of course, marriage of convenience! I had so much fun reading this and can’t wait to read more from this author.

Hiring Gideon Westbrook, the Beast of Blackthorne Hall and a man with a scarred face and a dark past, to help her guard her caves from the thieves who would use them to store their booty, Miss Harriet gets in over her head

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 Beast’s clutches, Harriet must find a way to win his heart–and evade the deadly trap of a scheming villain who would see them parted for all time.
