Rating:  Summary: Not as much fun as its predecessor Review: But still a heck of a good read. Am looking forward to more stories set around these characters.
Rating:  Summary: Think outside the box Review: I think that the problem most of the reviewers had with this book is that it does not follow the standard romance formula - Boy meets Girl, Boy and Girl fall in contempt, Boy and Girl realize they love each other, Boy and Girl get married. Before you pick up this book you need to do two things: 1. Read "High Energy" first, not 100% required, but it will increase the enjoyment. 2. Realize that Dara Joy is not your "standard" romance writer. Dara has done something here that is very refreshing for the genre and I think her gamble really paid off. She writes with a curtsy to the Thin Man series and a tongue planted firmly in her cheek. I have yet to be disappointed by her work!
Rating:  Summary: Fabulous sequel Review: It seems to me you will either love it or hate it reading the other reviews. I love this book, but I not read a Dara Joy book that I haven't liked. Though it cannot be compared to the Matrix Of Destiny series it is still a fabulous sequel to HIGH ENERGY.Thank you Dara for sharing your wonderful talent with us.
Rating:  Summary: Lighthearted Fun! Review: I found this book to be lighthearted and funny...I burst out laughing so many times my assistant at work probably thought I was nuts! We read many romance novels by most popular authors during our breaks and I enjoyed Dara Joy's High Intensity much more than most. The characters were all realistic in an absurd way and the plot filled with twists and turns...I especially loved the "surprise" endings...never what I expected!
Rating:  Summary: Come on ladies! Review: Come on ladies it wasn't that bad I thought. I do have to admit there were a few things I did not understand involving some of her other novels but other than that I thought it was fun. It's way better than most of the garbage that is printed out there. Don't be so harsh ladies, I know you were dissapointed, however so was I but it doesn't mean I'm going to completly trash the book. All I'm saying is that it does not compare to any of her other books. Give it a try, I dont reccomend paying full price but if you see it on sale...pick it up it's a funny light read.
Rating:  Summary: High Intensity -- high standards Review: Hey folks, it wasn't that bad. Granted, it doesn't rank with her top books, but it was fun to visit with these characters again. The trouble is, we have very high standards for Dara Joy and so anything less than spectacular is a "disappointment". It's still better than 90% of the stuff that's out there. Boy, you reviewers are a tough audience.
Rating:  Summary: Very disappointing Review: This book was not good. In fact, I would say this was the worst. Her characters were flat. The story line was very boring. I kept reading it thinking it would get better. Ms. Joy is a very good futurist romance writer. Probably one of the best I have ever read, so this really disappointed me. If you never read any of her books, don't read this one as your first for you will never read another.
Rating:  Summary: Very Disappointed Review: I was extremely disappointed - the plot never got together, I found it boring, I never got into the characters.and their was no build to the climax. I have loved all her other books though.
Rating:  Summary: High Intensity= Intense Dissapointment Review: As one of Ms. Joy's biggest fans, it greatly saddens me to write a negative review about her novel. The character's in this book have no chemistry, there is no plot, absolutely nothing to hold this book together. I believe this book was to finish up her contract with the publishing company, and this book is hastily written, most likely as a snub to the company. Hopefully William Morris will hang on to her (the new publishers) and keep her set on the Matrix of Destiny series.
Rating:  Summary: Revisit with 2 of All-time favorite characters Review: Okay, so it wasn't as good as High Energy, not nearly as good, actually, but of course I still wanted to read about some of my very favorite characters. Only thing was that I thought when I kept seeing this book advertised was that it must surely be the long-awaited story about the secondary characters, Mills and Gregor. Sure I want to read about Tyber and Zanita again, but I'll do that by picking up High Energy again... and again. THAT one was delectable, and I wouldn't change a thing. This one, well, yeah, I would change one thing: Make it a story about Mills and Gregor and have us revisit Tyber and Zanita as secondary characters! Okay, okay, not possible at this point, but next time, right? It was still a light and enjoyable read, however. I just probably won't read it again, as I have with the first one.
