Summary: Excellent book !!!
Review: "Shield's lady" is a futuristic romance written by Jayne Ann Krentz. In this book, we are introduced to the lost colonies that settled on the Planet Windarra. Sariana Dayne belongs to the eastern colony, while Gryph Chassyn, a Shield (legendary warriors who are a class by themselves) belongs to the western civilization (more creative and wild than the proper and practical eastern one). They don't share culture or beliefs, but they find themselves utterly attracted to each other, specially Gryph that knows after seeing her that Sariana is one of the few women in the world that can become a shieldmate . The book is very good, with some inteligent twists,like the fact that Sariana, after sleeping with Gryph, finds herself married to him without needing any kind of ceremony (an strange western custom regarding how ShieldS choose their mates of which she was unaware). On the whole I enjoyed it, specially the way in which Sariana tried to get out of a marriage she hadn't wanted in the first place (she thought she was getting into an affair). Highly recommended, if you want to read something somewhat different...

Summary: What a find!
Review: A piece of trivia - this book was published in 1989 under Amanda Glass. I read this before I read any Krentz. Like all Krentz books, there are strong, intelligent women, and strong, teachable men. A very satisfying book. PS those that enjoy this side of Krentz will probably like her books written under Jayne Castle.

Summary: It got my husband's attention...
Review: I enjoyed to story line and the character's in the story...but what go my attention is the fact that my husband who dislikes romances sat down and read this story from start to finished..That is one book that has got to be the best in the world. it completely covers the Sci-Fi and romance. If it can hold my husbands attention and keeps his interest without him even once throwing book across the room in disgust.It is a good one.

Summary: A new world worth exploring
Review: I find that I keep coming back to this book and re-reading it whenever my life verges on "quiet desperation." I enjoy a great many romance novels, but few that have the ability to take me to a place I would like to be over and over. The basic story of the arrogant, unplacable male disrupted by an independent minded female who hasn't realized her "place" takes on a new slant in this novel, and the science fiction elements add a dimension to the relationship that we all wish we could discover. This book is well worth the try...a look at two sides of life that should add some insight into one's view of society. Like all good romances, this one remains "true to the human heart," and Krentz's futuristic world is well worth the price of the passage

Summary: Shield's Lady
Review: I had heard of this book for a long time and as a big fan of Jayne's books, I looked everywhere for it. When I finally found it, I took the whole evening to savor it. And I did. The characters in the book were very interesting and the chemistry was there. I like female characters that know they can live without the man in their lives but take a chance and go for it. I like male characters who reveal (even if it is only to the reader) that he has doubts that his woman is going to fall at his feet, even if they do. They are the same people we are and we can relate to them yet they are put in extraordinary situations and must test themselves and their love for each other. Take the night off, put on some soft music and savor this book with a glass of wine and a bowl of cherries. Good reading.

Review: I had never read any of Ms. Krentz writings; but she is a writer I will be adding to my list. Her characters, although from another world, are beliveable and delighful. I could not and did not put it down until it was finished. I would very much like to meet Sarianna & Gryph's daughter in another book. Thanks Amazon for the referral.
