Summary: OH wow....where to start :-(
Review: Great idea........starts off with a lot of good conflict...but....
Cade spent two months romancing Jamie at the same time he was investigating her employers. The investigation blows up, causing Jamie and her employer, Miss Isabel, to have to face the press and investors angry over losing hundreds of thousands of dollars in Miss Isabel's brother's schemes. Cade arrogantly thinks he can say his investigation and using of Jamie to gain information had nothing to do with their romance. GRRRRRRRR That was the first bad point, but figured you could work with the premise. But instead of learning from it, he continues in the same smug, arrogant, know it all attitude, treating Jamie like he knows more about he than she does herself, and simply because he took her to bed, he owns her. He even smirks that she is likely going to come crawling to him, because she got her pregnant! Sorry, this one really [is bad]. Jamie is a wishy-washy character than lets the arrogant [person] run all over her and you really end up not liking either of them, and possible downright hating HIM. I don't know any woman who could have loved this [person]. Saying it was dated might cover these sins of woe, but frankly, I did not like this one when it was first published. This sort of jerk was no acceptable back then, and he certainly is not acceptable today. Especially - DO NOT pay the hardback PRICE!

Summary: synopsis
Review: Her heart was on the line- Jamie Garland loved working for Miss Isabel. Her job often threw her into the company of the most fancinating people... like Cade Santerre. From the start, he made no secret he desired her. And only last night he tenderly made love to her... A morning visit from the authorities changed everything. And angry over Cade's apparent betrayal, Jamie sent him away. But weeks later a question still burned within her-one that could only be answered by seeking out Cade.

Summary: Enjoyed it very much!
Review: I "discovered" Jayne Ann Krentz (aka Amanda Quick, aka Jayne Castle, aka Stephanie James and so on)a year or so ago. I am reading as many of her older books as I can get my hands (or eyes) on. So far, she has not written a book I have not enjoyed, no matter what name she is writing under.
Rating: 
Summary: Disappointed and surprised this is one of her older books!
Review: I read anything that is published by Ms. Krentz (as Krentz, Quick or Castle). And her MIRA books are short and often quite good (I liked "Between the Lines". "True Colors" wasn't that bad, but I become tired of Jamie's indecision about who to trust about halfway through the book. I almost put it down because I couldn't take her whining again and the whispers to herself as to what to do. But... finally she trusts (at a critical moment, thank goodness) and all is right. It was a diverting read for an afternoon, but definitely not a keeper.

Summary: Not a keeper
Review: Jamie Garland feels betrayed and used by Cade Santerre when he catches her employer's brother in a financial scam. The arrogance of the hero, Cade Santerre, was annoying. The heroine, Jamie Garland, kept telling Cade that he was having trouble accepting that he was a romantic hero, while insisting that he had trampled all her romantic dreams. Since this is a reissue, this may have been when Ms. Krentz was transitioning her heroes from being totally alpha males, but, the veneer of romantic male just didn't take. The characters caused the storyline to just galumph along.
Rating: 
Summary: beyond disappointment
Review: Maybe it is because this is one of Krentz's earlier works, but I was totally disappointed in both Jamie and Cade's characters. The lack of creativity in Jamie made her come across as a simpleton and like unable to make her own decisions. Cade seemed as border-line mental abuser of women. This is strickly my opinion
