Reader Review: Arthur, the Earl of St. Merryn, and Elenora are refreshing as the leading duo. I find Elenora humorous and engaging. She knows when to keep her mouth shut and when to lobby for her interest. She also sees past the cold front Arthur puts up for the world to see. Arthur is not your typical rakish Earl. He is a methodical businessman and has no interest in the social swirl of the ton. But he has a sensitive heart that yearns for compassion. Overall the romance is light and airy. Although, I do wish for a bit more passion and electricity throughout. The love scenes can do with a bit more oomph too. The mystery and the chasing of the murderer is too slow and lacks suspense. I would've enjoyed the reading much more if the subplot didn't take up so much space.
"Once again, the incomparable Quick has whipped up a delectable Regency romance" ( Booklist ) about an ice-cold business agreement that turns into something far more heated.

I liked the "Paid Cpmpanion" and I guess that's because I like Jane Anne Krentz/Amanda Quick/Jayne Castle a lot. I mean a lot! I have most of her novels in paper and hard back and have attached myself to her new paranornal series about the Arcane society trials and tribulations. I think few authors can write dialogue the way AQ can. This is not her best book but it is still a very good book. I did not find the murder mystery to be a drag on the story...I think these subplots are great for the book and make her work stand out as a cut above the average romance.
