A Knight in Shining Armor by Jude Deveraux

Review in 20 Words or Less:

Heartbroken, stranded, woman prays for knight to save her.  Man travels ahead 400 years to her rescue.  Cute love story.

More Thoughts on the Book:

Dougless, an American woman (despite her name!), travels to England with her terrible boyfriend and his spoiled daughter.  After a fight, Douglass's boyfriend leaves her stranded and penniless in the countryside of England.  She stumbles into a church and prays on the grave of Nicholas Standford for someone to come rescue her from her life.  She prays for a "Knight and Shining Armor" :)  Out of no where, Nicholas Standford, who was awaiting execution in the year 1564,  travels forward in time 400 years.  Together, Dougless and Nicholas are set on a mission to find out who framed Nicholas in the past.

This story was a bit corny, but I truly loved every minute of it.  I slowly learned to love Nicholas for all his fault (mostly sleeping around before he met the main character), and found the characters very likable in the book.  I really enjoyed reading about life in the 1500s.  It was a typical historical romance novel.  What can I say, I loved it :)
