Rating:  Summary: Not that well written Review: I usually really hate to critize a book like this, but this book was not what I expected it to be. This book was to be romantic suspense, but where was the romance? This book focused mainly on the mystery(which was solved by the the time you reached the middle of the book), and then the story kinda dragged on, probably to finish the love story. The love story was okay, but there was no serious focus on it and it just kinda closed off. In the end, for my first book by Krentz, it was not the greatest.

Rating:  Summary: a gentleman's C...or D Review: I'm so happy I checked this out of the library. It wasn't truly horrible, but not that great either...definitely very very average. I doubt that i'm going to read anything else of hers. This is the 3rd or 4th I've read in hopes that she has reverted back to her old ways, but I give up!
Rating:  Summary: Same old, same old Review: If you are new to Jayne Ann's work, then you will undoubtedly love this book. She writes well and does great characters. But I must admit that I used to read her books in one sitting and this one took me three days. It seemed like just about every part of the novel was recycled from one of her others. As I read it, I kept thinking about "Hidden Talents", another of her books that involved blackmail. It was more complex, funnier, and had much better supporting characters. I hate to say it, but I'm getting tired of the fact that her main characters are always business people. Even in her historicals everybody is a business person. How about trying something new and different, Jayne Ann?
Rating:  Summary: JAK Never Disappoints Review: In FLASH, Krentz once again creates characters her fans love to read about. Olivia & Jasper are made for one another.
Rating:  Summary: I enjoyed this book. Review: It wasn't as good as some of her others but considering how many books she's written, it will happen. I agree with what Kelly said about plot lines. There is just so much original material out there but I read to escape and enjoy and that is what I do with Ms. Krentz's books. I am a fan for life.
Rating:  Summary: Disappointing following Sharp Edges, but a decent read. Review: Jasper and Olivia are not great characters. Their relationship is too business-like, not developed as well as in Krentz's previous works. I think she went too fast through this plot and left out some of her talent for intriguing romantic relationships. I hope her next one is a little more complex.
Rating:  Summary: Jayne Ann Krentz only gets better. Review: Jayne Ann Krentz is one of those rare writers who always entertains. And she manages to create a fresh, romantic, and mysterious story every time. FLASH (wonderful Jasper and Olivia's story) is great, comfort brain food that bites back each time the reader dares to relax. Yet again Ms. Krentz has produced a book you can't read fast enough, although you wish it didn't have to end.

Rating:  Summary: Lacklustre Review: Jayne Ann Krentz seems definitely on the path of Mainsteam Women Fiction. The romance in her latest is very very ultra-lite. I have no idea what the main characters look like at all! The wit, the humour, and the suspense are there, but everything seems so fimiliar after a while. And the suspense isn't even strong to begin with, hence my interest begins to wane after a while. And for $7.99, this book isn't worth the price.
