The premise of this book, historical romance meets time travel, intrigued me. I have read a number of Jude Deveraux books so I knew I liked her writing style but I was apprehensive about the time travel aspect getting too sci-fi or technical. My apprehensions proved to be unwarranted. I enjoyed reading A Knight in Shining Armor, parts of it made me laugh out loud (Nicholas buying new clothes), other parts (Dougless' repetitive meekness) frustrated me. I couldn't go to a full 5 star "love" on this book and I don't know that I will opt for another time travel book but I did like it and I would mention it to a friend looking for a beach read.
