Summary: A Classic Jayne Ann Krentz - romantic suspense at its best
Review: As an avid reader of Jayne Ann Krentz' backlist, I looked forward to this re-issue. It's wonderful to finally get a chance to read this book. I was not disappointed by the trademark sizzling romance and good-natured humor.

The Lori Foster novel was an enjoyable read as well, although I did have some complaints about the wimpiness and naivete of the heroine. I probably would not have tried this author had she not been paired with Ms. Krentz, but I will keep an eye out for her books in the future.

Summary: Anniversary Collectable 2 in 1!
Review: back cover copy: The Private Eye, by Jayne Ann Krentz - Maggie is an innkeeper who's read too many detective novels. And burned-out private eye Josh January figures a case at Maggie's B&B is going to be a cinch. He's wrong. And if he doesn't start playing the hero, he doesn't have a prayer with Maggie! PLUS! Beguiled by Lori Foster - Dane Carter is not who everyone thinks he is. The errant son has returned to the family company after his twin brother, Derek, was found murdered. However, everyone, including Derek's old flame, Angel, believes Derek is still alive. Dane's Mission Impossible? To find the killer, protect Angel, and keep from falling in love with his brother's lover.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Lori Foster has done it again!
Review: BEGUILED is a masterful mystery full of snap and sizzle. Not only will you be left guessing until the end, but you'll be fanning yourself too. As always, Foster manages to make the air positively electric between her well-written hero and heroine. Look for WANTON, a spin off from BEGUILED, to hit store shelves in October. It's sure to be as sinful as its name.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Beguiled by Lori Foster!!
Review: Dane Carter is pretending to be his brother Derek while he searches for Derek's killer. He thinks he's got a hot lead when Angel Morris walks into his--Derek's--office. The more he learns of her relationship with his brother--that Derek had betrayed her trust, had her fired from her job, fathered her child, then left her--the more it looks like Angel could be Derek's killer. Yet, the more he learns of Angel, the more he knows it isn't her. When it turns out someone is trying to kill Angel, Dane is left with finding the real killer and protecting the woman he loves.

Lori Foster's ability to pull readers into the story and not let go until the very last page is what makes her such an enduring favorite!

Summary: HOT!
Review: Don't miss this one if you like steamy, passionate romance between characters that spring to life on the pages. This was a page-turner, an incredibly hard-to-put-down book.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Puzzling.
Review: First, let me say this was a good book. I love a hero who is burned out and a heroine who looks for the good in people. But...I found myself constantly looking at the author's name to verify that it said Jayne Ann Krentz on the cover. There was none of her signature humor or crackling sexual tension. As it has a 1999 copyright date, I would expect her usual style. Could this be a much older book that wasn't published until 1999? If you're a JAK fan, you might be disappointed. If you like sweet romance with a little sex and interesting minor characters, this is the book for you.

Summary: Wow! This set is too good!
Review: I always enjoy Jayne Ann Krentz's books, and this one was no different. She has such a great sense of humor. And because I bought the book for Ms.Krentz's story,I also got to discover Lori Foster! Wow! I loved this book, and I can't wait to read Wanton, the book that follows with the irresistible Alec. If it's even half as good as Beguiled, I wont' be disappointed. Sexy, intense, romantic, suspenseful...did I say sexy? I will definitely hunt up Ms. Foster's backlist. Don't miss this great duo of books!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great characters. Loved it
Review: I've only read Lori Foster's "Beguiled" in this book and I loved it. I've read every one of Lori Foster's books and I am never dissapointed. I love her characters and the stories. This one was no exception. I can't wait until "Wanton" comes out in a few months to read more about Alec and Celia.
