The Pirate

Rating:
Summary: A great escape read!
Review: The Pirate is the first in the reissue of Jayne's "Ladies and Legends" trilogy. The story reminds me of "The Taming of the Shrew". Jared meets his match in Kate, a thirty something historical romance writer. This is a good series to begin reading Jayne. Those who have become accustomed to Jayne's more recent books should keep in mind this book was originally written long before Jayne became the popular writer she is today.

Summary: Pretty thin book, pretty thin plot, heroine must be thin!
Review: This was the first Krentz book I have read that I have just been ABLE to put down. Ms. Inskip (what a name, and do we all have to be referred to as MS to show we have a job and and life?) was a poorly drawn character, one wonders why anyone would fall in love with her at all. She just had nothing going on! The kid was great, the hero was just OK, the setting was weird (where IS this?) and my advice is just to skip this one. I don't think that there was a lot of thought put into this one at all. Better to read "Trust Me," "Grand Passion," "Family Man," or "Sharp Edges." Go get these titles instead.
