Omg love this book,it made me laugh , it made me cry and it made mad I just loved it so much that I read it twice cause I just didn’t want it to end. A MUST READ.
A Knight in Shining Armor is one of my favorite books by Jude Deveraux. Jude’s time-travel story is very different from most in that genre, and it’s a story I’ll read again and again. As a result, I’ve given this book as a gift several times over the years.
I came across this book as a recommended book for time travel romance. I was immediately pulled in. I fell in love with the heroine and could completely relate to what she was feeling.
If you’re a fan of time travel romance this is definitely a book worth checking out!
This was my first Jude Deveraux book, but certainly not my last! The story was an absolute “first” when she wrote it, and has been rewritten by copycats ever since. But deveraux has a way with words that no one has been able to deliver. The characters are enticing; the knight especially is a stitch in the beginning when learning the ins and outs of the modern world. Just a fun read!
My fave book by Jude deveraux!!
Makes my heart swoon!
This is the book that turned me on to romance novels. I first read it years and years ago and have since read a few times more. If I could give this one 100 stars I would! Jude Deveraux was way ahead of her time. The fame and notoriety of Outlander has nothing on this book. So good!!
possibly my favorite book of all time. I have read this book no less than 10 times
New cover, but I still love this book!
One of my all-time favorites. I’ve re-read this one several times and it’s always satisfying. A truly enjoyable read. Look elsewhere for a synopsis. Just read this book!!
I re-read this book at least once a year and have been for many years..true escapism. When I have been reading too many “heavy” books and need to unwind I head for Jude Deveraux’s early books, and lose myself.
I keep a copy of this book around to revisit now and then….I have for years.
I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED this book!
This was a great time travel romance. I enjoyed how the author sends the knight to the future, where he meets a woman and falls in love, only to have to return home. Then said women travels back in time to seek out her Knight in Shining Armor. This book had a little bit of everything, and I enjoyed my time I had with this book.
I read this book over 25 years ago and loved it so much I went out and purchased a hard copy which I have re-read several times. I have also purchased several copies and given them as gifts as well. I always recommend the book to others but never give my copy out in fear I will not get it back. I would love to see this book in a mini-TV series.
Not many books make me laugh out loud,but the leading lady Douglass is priceless. A unique time travel tale. Her experiences in the 16th century will be a test of those qualities that usually fail her: confidence, a strong sense of identity, and ultimately the ability to make good choices for herself. This is one of my favorite Jude Deveraux books.
I read this book many years ago when it first came out and have read it since many times. One of my most cherished books! If one could even once have this kind of love.
Great time travel romance. Definitely a classic and one I’ll save to read again.
This was the first romance book I ever read. It’s been many years ago but I have read it more than once, which doesn’t happen often! This story was fun. The character twist was perfect. The pair are definitely star-crossed lovers. This was also very unique.
My favorite book of all time!
I came across this book on my keeper shelf the other day. I STILL remembering reading this in high school and the impact it had on me. Sometimes I just read it again to have that same feeling and those same goose bumps that it gave me the first time I read it all of those years ago. If you are new to romance or just missed this book, please give it a read. It is a romance classic from one of my absolute favorite romance authors. Five huge stars for this book!
