Publisher's summary

This spectacular romantic novel unveils a tantalizing tale of a legendary knight, a headstrong lady, and a quest for an ancient crystal. To find the mystical Stone of Scarcliffe, Sir Hugh needs the assistance of Lady Alice of Lingwood, a flame-haired beauty with a dazzling intellect. Together, Hugh and Alice begin a dangerous adventure that brings them more than they expect: murder, deception, and the possibility of lasting love.

For me this was like visiting an old friend!

For me the narrator was excellent, she move the story along. She is a delight to listen to!
In my opinion Amanda Quik's classic stories are her best work; although I find her current works nice I love her classic stories.

Shades of "The Princess Bride"!

I enjoyed this bit of entertaining fluff. Early Amanda Quick when still light and fun. Barbara Rosenblat's performance makes this completely enjoyable, sincere yet with a tiny touch of juicy camp.

Favorite book of all time

What made the experience of listening to Mystique the most enjoyable?

The characters are so well developed and the narrator is excellent. I have listened to this book at least 30 times and i'm listening to it right now.

What did you like best about this story?

I just love the heroine and hero and the interaction between them. I love the way the hero respects his lady and stands up for her to all.

What about Barbara Rosenblat’s performance did you like?

Everything! I don't think I'd like the book if I read it. It's her characters that make it excellent.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Mostly the dry humor of the dark knight and the way he reacts to the antics of those around him. It isn't a comedy but there are enough humerous responses to keep me coming back.

Any additional comments?

I think of myself as a fairly intelligent person but this book, named Mistique with characters like Hugh the Relentless, the bringer of storms, places like Rivenhall Manor and the fact it is a romance of the highest water has me in it's thrall. So wonderful!!

True Love Wins Again

I always enjoy reading novels by Amanda Quick and Mystique is just as wonderful. I loved the time of knights and ladies and, as usual, the heroine is a strong, courageous and intelligent woman. But what I liked most about this book is how love heals and brings with it true happiness. Yes, I’m a sap, but I believe that love is so precious in real life as t is in the stories we read.

Likeable

Barbara is a good narrator but the performance isn't as good as some others.
