Time Travel and Everlasting Love

This book was probably written over 20 years ago, but it still resonates as an overall heartwarming, captivating time travel love story.
The first part of the story really aggravated me as the heroine was treated so badly and was being blatantly used her by current lover. Nobody could be that blind! His bratty daughter was the icing on the cake and I almost gave up on this book because of how they walked all over her. But once the time traveling hero appeared, I couldn't stop listening to it.
Ms. Deveraux did her research on medieval life and did a great job on how a 16th century man would see 20th century England and vice versa with the heroine.
The author takes you on a great journey with the hero/heroine, across 4 centuries. Douglass, the heroine manages to find love twice, as well as self-respect by the end of the novel. The ending was not what I expected, but was just delightful and heart-warming. A thoroughly enjoyable 16 hours of listening pleasure!

A Knight in shining armor

I liked the story but,did not like the man reading the book . well reading it for the male parts was ok but, for Douglas he made her sound like a crazy Transvestite and it was almost to annoying to listen too. and I guess it was not just Douglas but, all the females.

Listened over and over

Where does A Knight in Shining Armor rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I rank this audiobook at the top. Steve West does a fabulous job!

What did you like best about this story?

The storyline is wonderful. Jude Deveraux writes as I was listening, finding myself thinking the same thing!!! What I liked best about this story is, how the characters realized their short comings and failures, then turned them around. Of course the love between the characters will light a fire in your loins!!

Which scene was your favorite?

I like all the scenes!!

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

This book is one I wish I could listen to all in one sitting!! I almost did!

Any additional comments?

As a christian, I especially loved the references to God. Very touching. I would like to think God is still working in ways that bring the right people together. Being widowed, looking for my end of life partner, this book made me realize I could have appreciated my husband a little bit more. I'm hoping I will have a "second" chance!

This is such an awesome story!

For fans of Jude Deveraux, this is a classic. It's one of the best time travel/romances out there. I read this many years ago, and was delighted to see it in audio. I just wasn't all that fond of the male narrator. He did a pretty good job, but there's just something about a male narrator trying to pull off a crying woman's voice that just makes it sound... well, whiny and cheesy.

But despite that, I listened to the story practically straight through. I had forgotten the awesome ending! I just loved it. Entertaining and endearing.

Now, hopefully Remembrance (my favorite Deveraux's time-travel romance novel) will come out in unabridged audio. I'd hope for that story, the publisher will chose a woman to narrate. It just makes it that much more believable. Justine Eyre would be great for that story!

I'll continue to wait for more vintage Deveraux...

omg. This story set my heart through so much

Only Romance Novel I Love

When I was younger, in the late 80's, early 90's, my mother was a huge romance novel fan. She was widowed so she read read. I was not a fan, however, she handed me Jude Deveroux's "Knight In Shining Armor", and enticed me to read just one chapter and see, so I did. I was instantly hooked! Time travel, 16th century Knight, troubled young lady just looking for respect and love, not too much mushy stuff, but just enough; it had it all! This is the best romance novel ever! And now I've had it read to me again some 30 years later, and it was fabulous again! Thank you Audible! I recommend this book even for those who don't really like romance novels, but enjoy old English history and/ or time travel. GREAT STORY!

Surprisingly Great Romance! do ignore sample.

The beginning, especially the audio sample sounds awful! So HAPPY I gave it a chance. The story get better and better, and it has the BEST HEA! =) Wonderful, classic time travel romance which influenced many authors. Yes, it is worth a credit. A must for every romantic! The ending is so worth it =)
