Midnight Jewels

Summary: Not my favorite
Review: AFter reading all the 5* reviews, had to put my comments in. I've read most of JAK (& Amanda Quick & Jayne Castle), and re-read them. Including this one. The plot is good, I like all the stuff about books and old books, but the hero is just too obnoxious. I know they're all a little too macho, but this guy is rude and lacks some of the endearing qualities of her other heros. He does get better as the book goes on, but not soon enough for me. I would have dumped him way back. I actually prefer her newer work, where the heroes are a little less rude and the heroines more willing to stand up for themselves.

Summary: A good read!
Review: I am a huge fan of JAK and have been reading my way through all of her books. Midnight Jewels is the story of a used book seller, Mercy Pennington, who stumbles upon a rare book in a flea market. The plot unfolds as she attempts to sell the book and discovers the dangerous situation surrounding it. The hero, Croft Falconer, competes with the villian to purchase the book and the story developes from there. This is not my most favorite JAK book but it is a good read, fast paced with nice character development.

Review: I am in the process of buying and reading everything Jayne Ann Krentz/Amanda Quick/Jayne Castle has written. I have not been disappointed yet! Hoping all of her out of print books will be reissued. I was late in finding Ms. Krentz but I'll not rest till I've read them all!

Summary: A Jewel of a story.
Review: I can't remember what I read before I found Jayne Ann Krentz! This is one of my favorites. The story is exciting, faced paced, but not too fast. Jayne takes the relationship to believable yet passionate and exiting places. In all of her books she portrays the hero and the heroine as honorable, trustworthy and passionate, qualities you don't find much anymore either in real life or fiction. I find this so intriguing and inspiring. I love the setting; rare books, martial arts, travel to exotic locales (Colorado) and memorable love scenes. Definitely a keeper! Jayne has written books under the names of Stephanie James, Amanda Glass (a rare find), Jayne Castle and Amanda Quick. She does it all, contemporary romance, futuristic, and historical - a collectible author, don't miss any of them.

Summary: my very least favorite Jayne Ann Krentz romance
Review: I was sadly disappointed in this book. The dialogue is very stiff and unwieldy to me and the hero doesn't make much sense. I thought the plot was a stretch most of the time. There seemed to be little of her ususal humor evident.
I am glad this was not the first of hers I read.

Summary: Loved it!
Review: It doesn't come as a shock to me that I liked this book. Jayne ann krentz is one of my favorite author's and I've read a lot of her books. I enjoy her characters and exciting plots. I must admit that I like her historical romances better under the pen name Amanda Quick. I highly suggest her i LOVE ALL HER BOOKS. Try the historical ones you wont regret it.
