About this listen

 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). 20th Century Contemporary Contemporary Romance Fantasy Fiction Historical Historical Fiction Romance Heartfelt Time Travel

Generally don’t listen to romantic style stories but this was recommended to me. Was so pleased with this one. Well worth purchasing and will listen to again. Unusual story, definitely at the top end of my favourite books.

Romantic and unique

One of the first books I read as a teen. Never loses its magic. The narrator does very well, especially as the voice of Nicolas! As Douglas, it’s irritatingly ‘wimpy’ at times, BUT doing the voice of a woman in distress I’d imagist not the easiest! Love love the book. Loved loved this audio equally as much. Highly recommend

Just beautiful

I first read this book when I was a teenager. I was completely enthralled by the historical and time travel elements in this book, my very first of this genre. I could not put this book down. As I was following Dougless and Nicholas adventure and journey of self discovery, I was also discovering all these fascinating things with them for the first time as a young girl from the Philippines.

As an adult reading and listening to this book again, including the author’s reason for writing, put this book in a different light and perspective. This is not your typical romance with a happily ever after book, there are more to it. Ms. Deveraux evokes a lot of emotions from me even to this day. I’m not the type of reviewer to write spoiler, however, I suggest to first read the author’s reason for writing A Knight in Shining Armor and I will leave it at that. Whether you enjoy the book or not after reading the author’s note at the end of the book is down to you as a reader and listener. But for me this book will always hold a very special place in my heart and still remain an all time favourite even more so now that it’s narrated by Steve West. Over 16 hours of outstanding performance. Every single character in the book have a distinct voice and personality that is just an absolute pleasure to listen.

Loved this book - enjoyed it so much and didn't want it to end! The concept of time travel between the 16th and 19th centuries was fascinating and life comparisons interesting.

Brilliant!

My first impression after 50mins into this book is that Douglas is either very very stupid or likes being a doormat, cause apparently she not only lets her family mock her and walk all over her but also the man she deems perfect marriage material. She has medieval coins in her hand and can’t tell the difference between medieval coins and normal everyday coins. She’s supposed to be a school teacher!! How can you not tell? The first this about being a teacher is that you’re curious about everything! She just gives the coins for train fair without even giving them a second glance. I mean seriously, you’re in a new country wouldn’t you look at your coins carefully to see that you have exact fare. Even though you’re a teacher in the US you do learn about English currency and wouldn’t any teacher look at the coins to see if they are the same as the ones in the pictures from the time she taught. She is seriously being airheaded. I despise the author for creating such a character. A disgrace to the female kind. I love JD's other titles but this short of turning my stomach.

Not her Best.
