Hidden Talents

Summary: No no no...
Review: Sorry people, this book is plain and boring. The suspense is not really suspenseful, and the romance is not really exciting romance. It is a very slow read, and all those weird people actually annoyed me. And the hero and heroine doesn't seem to have any real chemistry. I still have like 50 pages left, and I can't finish it. I usually like JAK, but not this one, it is just too weird to be a good romance or suspense. Save your money, and try some other JAK books. I give her 3 stars for the effort...

Review: The characters who make up the small town of Witt's End are depicted lovingly and with great humor. Jayne Ann Krentz' forte is characterization. But never underestimate her way with plot, either. The murder mystery is gripping.

Review: This book is not perfect so maybe I shouldn't have given it 5 stars, but it is definitely better than 99% of the romances out there. Serenity and Caleb are wonderful together and although the dialogue was not as snappy as some of the JAKs I've read that is more than made up for by the characters' warmth and caring. Once Serenity and Caleb work out their initial problem their relationship never looks back. Conflict comes from outside and throughout the book they get through things by depending on each other. To me this is what love and romance are all about. As usual Ms. Krentz writes some great secondary characters and a fairly good mystery. I must agree with another reviewer though that Serenity's ex-boyfriend is a pure annoyance and not cute or charming at all. But I did find the prologue and epilogue funny. All in all, very highly recommended.

Summary: Not just a great read - a great re-read!
Review: Yes, I have read this book several times. It is just as good the fourth time as the first. If you like your books with strong male and female characters, you will like Jayne Krentz. Serenity is not like many female characters I have read, she is gentle but strong, caring and loyal. I love her uniqueness and her 'alternative' lifestyle. Caleb is a man who never really knew if he was loved and does not really believe it exists. The two meet amidst a murder mystery which they try to solve as well as putting their own lives back together. What a great couple. And I loved the secondary characters! I think you will too.
