Summary: Vintage Krentz
Review: Newlyweds, Ethan and Zoe Truax work at their marriage amid the various mysterious happenings. This second in the Whispering Springs series, has various plot lines and scintillating characters. The two work at their marriage and at the same time try to protect their friends. Krentz has written a winner. She has decided to flesh out the main characters, much to this reader's liking and I hope that she will write a third novel in this series. Thank you for an enjoyable read over the holidays.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A good, quick, fun read
Review: Reviewers here have panned this book in comparison to other of Krentz's efforts, but I don't have that particular prejudice. As a fairly new Krentz reader, I found this book just the right companion for a boring evening alone. The quirky characters and dialogue made me smile. Descriptions of the locations were riveting and logically presented so that action is easy to follow, and the story moved right along. What's not to like? Krentz doesn't pretend to be a literary novelist. Thank goodness!

A year or so ago, I wrote a very negative review of my first Krentz book, Summer in Eclipse Bay, which I felt was so bad I didn't pick up another of her titles until now. Glad I did. This one is in another league altogether. A nicely balanced book. Very entertaining!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Truth or Dare a must read
Review: The main characters and plots are well developed. Zoe and Ethan Truax continue to develop their relationship despite their differences in just about all areas. Ethan refuses to accept Zoe's paranormal abilities as anything more than intuition. While she tries to find ways to keep him safe and improve his health. The sub plots in this sequal are wonderful. The relationship that develops between Arcaida Ames and Harry Stag is heart warming. The book was funny. A must read for a Jayne Ann Krentz fan.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Entertaining
Review: This may not be JAK at her absolute best, but it is still a very nice sequel to Whispering Springs. There were enough good characterizations and plot turns to keep the reader engaged, and personally, I enjoyed it a lot. The best part about the book was a very accurate portrayal of how lack of direct communication and misunderstandings can affect relationships, and she illustrated this very well.

Definitely recommended.

Summary: A Good Quick Read
Review: Truth or Dare is a good quick read--a pefect companion for a boring waiting room or plane ride. Jayne Ann Krentz picks up right where she left off in Light in Shadow. Zoe and Ethan Truax are still trying to see if their experimental marriage will work, all the while working on their respective careers as interior designer and private investigator. Zoe's friend Arcadia begins to ge the feeling she's being watched and the romantic thriller takes off. The pacing in this novel is a little off--the main conflict is resolved with about 50 pages left of the novel, and suddenly, there is another conflict that wasn't really hinted at earlier. That, though is my only complaint about this enjoyable read.
