Synopsis

New York Times bestselling author Jude Deveraux will capture your heart with this miraculous time slip romance between a modern woman and a literal knight.

Dougless Montgomery has tried everything to achieve the perfect balance between self-sufficient and sexy, independent and agreeable—exactly the kind of girl she thinks a man would want. Still, she finds herself weeping upon a cold tombstone in an English church, rejected and abandoned by her boyfriend on a vacation she planned. Suddenly, Nicholas Stafford, Earl of Thornwyck appears before her but according to his tombstone, he died in 1564.

Despite their shock and the countless differences between a 20th-century girl and a 16th-century nobleman, Dougless and Nicholas are drawn together by a bond that defies reason. Dougless has finally found what she’s been searching for: someone who does not seek to change her, who finds her perfect, fascinating, just as she is.

But neither is prepared for the strength of their ties to the past…or the grand adventure that lies before them. Hailed worldwide as one of the most romantic novels of all time, A Knight in Shining Armor is “the epitome of every woman’s fantasy” (Daily Herald, Chicago).

In 1990 I was a senior in high school, and I was friends with my music teacher. It was one of those odd things I never understood how it happened, though I think it started when the drama teacher cast me for the lead in Fiddler on the Roof but I couldn’t sing.

I'm not totally sure what to say about this one or how to rate it. It is fair to say I enjoyed it despite the fact that it was riddled with flaws. It was a fairly fun time travel romance that was just light enough in tone to be fun. The story was fun. Dougless Montgomery is abandoned by her wastrel......more

I can’t really wrap my head around how I feel about this. I liked it but I also didn’t like it. It’s sitting at around 3 stars for me, which is a little disappointing because I wanted to love it more. I know it's a classic old school historical romance and so many people adore it!
