Rating: Summary: Prime Krentz Review: As a long time Krentz fan I have always found this book to be a favorite re-read. The heroine and hero are wonderful--the story of sleeping beauty is always a favorite and this heroine is definitely emotionally in deep slumber. But, what really sets this story apart is Jayne's terrific invention of the western poet Twitchell. The bad poetry is hilarious and yet just enough "off" to mimic real western poetry from the likes of Bad Bart and other 49er era poets. The denouement with the cheating ex-boy friend getting the fright of his life is hilarious--a fun book that is high on my comfort shelf.

Rating: Summary: Coulda' Been Better Review: As far as I know this is the first JAK book that I have ever read so I'm unfamiliar with her writing style. The story of tall, dark and handsome meets shy, quiet girl was ok it just fell a little short of truly exciting. It didn't grab my heart or my attention like it could have. A little more angst and real-feeling danger and this would have been a GREAT book.
Rating: Summary: Cute Review: Cute book - the bad poetry makes me giggle and the relationship between the two leads is very sweet. None one of JAK's greatest, but definitely very enjoyable nonetheless.

Rating: Summary: Pals Review: I could not put this book down, it is one of the best books I have ever read. Jayne Ann Krentz is at her best.
Rating: Summary: another great JAK book! Review: I've read all of Jayne Ann Krentz' books. And this one definitely meets all my expectations. She creats an interesting set of characters, and I enjoyed watching them fall in love. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who enjoys Romance.
Rating: Summary: JAK Early Book Review: If you haven't yet read this category length novel originally printed in the mid-eighties, definitely get it. This is Krentz at her laugh out loud, wittiest best. Amber Langley moves to Seattle (where else in a Krentz?) in an effort to leave her former life behind. Six months ago, she broke up with Roarke Kelly, a race car driver she had had an intense, passionate affair with. Determined to never again be a prisoner of her tempestuous passions, she agrees to marry her mild, plodding boss Cormick Grayson for completely sensible reasons. Little does Amber know, Gray is really a Superman in Clark Kent's clothing... This book has some of the best one-liners Krentz has ever penned. The relationship between the protagonists is right on target, the sex is hot, and the comedy is classic JAK. Don't miss this one while it's still in print.

Rating: Summary: JAK Early Book Review: It was good but I've read better. Usually a JAK book grabs you from the start and won't let go until the end. Being that it is one of her first books and her writing has evolved so much over the years it's understandable. Still a worthy read.
