Second Sight

From: $0.28

Financially straitened and on the path to spinsterhood, Venetia Milton thought her stay at the remote, ramshackle Arcane House would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to engineer her own ravishment. She was there to photograph the artifacts collected by a highly secretive organization, founded two centuries earlier by an alchemist. And the alchemist's descendant-her employer, Gabriel Jones-has the eyes of a sorcerer.
But despite Venetia's intent to seduce Mr. Jones and move on, she is shattered upon her return home to read in the press of his violent demise. Using the sizable fee Mr. Jones paid her, Venetia establishes a new life, opening a gallery in London. Of course, posing as a respectable widow makes it easier to do business, so-in a private tribute to her lost, only lover-she assumes the identity of "Mrs. Jones."
Her romantic whim, however, will cause unexpected trouble. For one thing, Mr. Jones is about to stride, living and breathing, back into Venetia's life. And the two share more than a passionate memory-indeed, they are bonded by a highly unusual sort of vision, one that goes far beyond Venetia's abilities as a photographer. They also share a terrible threat-for someone has stolen a centuries-old notebook from Arcane House that contains a formula believed to enhance psychic powers of the kind Gabriel and Venetia possess. And the thief wants to know more-even if he must kill the keeper of the Arcane Society's treasures, or the photographer who catalogued them, to obtain such knowledge.

From: Amazon Posted: Jun 12, 2008 Type: User Review Krentz fans will love!

I was wary of switching from reading Jayne Ann Krentz novels to any of her psudonyms because I knew they would be different tones and/or voices, but I'm so glad I did. Second sight was the second Amanada Quick novel I've read (The River Knows was...

From: Amazon Posted: May 18, 2008 Type: User Review Fun bits of suspense, romance, and the paranormal all rolled into one great book

It didn't take me long to read this historic romantic suspense novel. Amanda Quick has a way with prose that draws the reader into each chapter alongside the characters.

In "Second Sight", photographer Venetia Milton has a romantic...

I am a great fan of Amanda Quick and this book did not move me at all. I really could not get with the whol aura business. But because I like her books I read it anyway. I would recommend it if you had nothing else to read.

From: Amazon Posted: Apr 22, 2008 Type: User Review Solid romance novel

Even with the supernatural element, I enjoyed this story. It was quirky and fun, with a hint of mystery and some good characters. It's a traditional romance story, following the prescribed arc, so all of the goodness lies in the little details....

I found this surprisingly good. I'm not much of a romance reader unless it is mixed with another genre, but I really liked this one. The characters were smart, funny, and endearing. The setting is historical with a touch of fantasy. The...

This was a pretty good story, and I really liked the interactions between the hero and heroine. I have always enjoyed Ms. Quick's characters, they are not your usual cookie cutter fare. This book is no exception, and it is very well written. I...

From: Amazon Posted: Oct 07, 2007 Type: User Review Subpar plot

I've always been a fan of Amanda Quick's witty sense for verbal exchanges and amusing plots, but this is by far one of the worst romances I have ever read. The romance between the couple in unconvincing and unsubstanciated; the plot is silly and...

This book was a good read.

Nothing stunning, nothing new, and, sadly, part of a series.

But a good read, none the less.

Our Heroine, Venetia, is a woman who has been orphaned and is responsible, with a maiden...
