Summary: Best of older Krentz
Review: Plot Summary: Sarah Fleetwood has always gone with her instincts, and her gut instincts are telling her that Gideon Trace is her hero. Sarah wants to find the Fleetwood Flowers, gold and gem earrings owned (and buried) by her ancester Emelina. And Gideon, an expert on treasure hunting with whom Sarah has been corresponding, is just the man to help her find them. But Gideon isn't quite sure what to make of Sarah when she arrives on his doorstep and tells him just that!Krentz used to write a lot of category romances, and if you read a number of them, you begin to notice similarities between all her heroes and heroines. "The Adventurer" is not an exception. It is, however, one of the best of Krentz's earlier work, with enough freshness to keep it above the pack. Sarah is an immensely appealing character, impulsive, warm, and caring, and so forgiving of Gideon's defensiveness. Gideon is a wonderfully protective hero (even if he clueless about his own feelings). Their adventure -- to find the Fleetwood Flowers -- makes for an interesting plot surrounding their romance, and is intertwined enough in the development of that romance to make it intriguing. This is, in my opinion, the best of this trilogy, and one of the best of Krentz's work from the 80's. Enjoy!

Summary: One of Jayne's best!
Review: The Adventurer is a wonderful adventure. This is the second in Jayne's "Ladies and Legends" trilogy. The heroine is very independent. The hero is reluctant. What a combination. One of the things I liked best about this particular series is that the heroines are not twenty something but thirtysomething. Defintely a plus. If you've not read Jayne Ann Krentz before this is a book/trilogy to begin with.

Summary: Complexly Woven Plot
Review: The heroine who falls in love with his letters, and searches out her man with determination to woo and win him is every man's fantasy. I re-read this book every few months. Do you suppose Jayne Ann Krentz knows how dramatically she can stir the masculine reader's passion?

Summary: How Predictable!
Review: The Pirate was about 2 stars, so I can only blame myself for continuing to read the rest of the series. This was so removed from real life.....the characters had no development. The cats were the only characters that were in any way believable.

Summary: enjoyable reprint
Review: This is book 2 in a series of Harlequin temptations reprint. It is typically JAK so great fun. If you missed them first time around and are a big fan of JAK, I am sure you will appreciate the reprint. If you are a fan of JAK and keep her stuff - CHECK YOU OLD TEMPTATIONS - they were the Pirate, The Adventurer and the Cowboy - in that order.
In this one, Emelina Fleetwood is the descendant of a lady gold hunters, a former schoolteacher than spent a summer in the 1800'hunting for god and found it. She used the gold to buy five pair of jewelled earrings, each in the shape of one of her favourite flowers. Before her death, she hide the treasure and created a map, which is now in the hands of Emeline Fleedwood. Most of the tale is now myth, but Emaline believes, enough to hire treasure hunter Gideon Trace to help her find them. Gideon is not so sure, but Emaline believes and believes he is some kind of hero, another thing Gideon does not believe, but if she does and it keeps her around, he is more than willing to let her live out her adventure. It is wonderfully funny JAK and a good read.

Summary: fast moving, funny
Review: This is one of Jayne's fast moving story. You can't just put it down until you finish. It may be a bit far from real life, but that's romance. Don't you think?
