Summary: Excellent
Review: "The Pirate" (book one of three, followed by "The Adventurer" and "The Cowboy") is a great short story. It was hilarious and witty, Krentz at her best. The only thing some readers might find exasperating is that this is an older Krentz book, so the hero was a little too alpha male at times. There were a couple of scenes in the book where I mentally gritted my teeth at his behavior. Nevertheless, this entire trilogy is excellent, guaranteed entertainment. Buy them all and read them in order!

Summary: Wonderful!
Review: "The Pirate" is the first book I have read by Jayne Ann Krentz, it was a quick read, but wonderful just the same, a great escape from the stress of everyday life, can't wait to read more of her work.

Summary: Fun Read
Review: A little predictable but fun. Kate's behavior was childish at times. There was lots of passion. The Pirate is a decent read.

Review: Did not like the sound of the readers voice. Too matronly for a romance novel, even if the heroine WAS a little older. The voice was distracting from the story.

Summary: Very little substance.
Review: I continue to find that her other titles under Amanda Quick are far more satisfying. Sketchy character portrayal and a plot that barely kept me interested. The mystery itself was given short shrift and it could have provided the necessary spark to the book if it was developed further. Pretty mediocre effort.

Summary: My vacations are never this good!
Review: I don't know what book the rest of you guys were reading, but I LOVED this book! Jared and Kathryn were just hilarious together. Kathryn wasn't too hard-edged--she was stressed out! That was the whole point of the vacation that starts the whole plot moving forward. Jared pushes all her buttons and their "arguments" are pure romantic comedy. Kathryn de-stresses really quickly--like by day 2!--and then it's just romance and and lots of excitement with just enough sexy banter to keep me grinning. Sure, it's not a "deep" read, but I can't think of a better way to spend a couple of hours.

Summary: IPromising opening, but this really doesn't deliver.
Review: I enjoyed early scenes with the heroine, but the plot really didn't develop. There seemed to be no reason for these two characters to get together other than that they were in the same place at the same time. The hero had appeal, but it was hard to really cheer on the heroine. In the dark moment of crisis, I didn't really care if it all ended. The heroine's concern seemed a bit petty so she didn't deserve to get the love of her life. All this said, it's not a terrible story if you like romance...but I was able to people watch, accept room service, and call home to check on the kids. A pleasant diversion, but not riveting.

Summary: excellent Temptation
Review: I first read this book as a Harlequin Temptation a decade ago, and it's one of the very few I've hung on to. The writing is tight and fast-paced, and the relationship is deliciously steamy. Watching the characters match wits and wills is a kick. One of the best books Jayne Ann Krentz has written, in my opinion. If you like category romances, I highly recommend this one. (The second book in this series, The Adventurer, is also especially good.)
