Rating:  Summary: A Classic Jayne Ann Krentz - romantic suspense at its best Review: As an avid reader of Jayne Ann Krentz' backlist, I looked forward to this re-issue. It's wonderful to finally get a chance to read this book. I was not disappointed by the trademark sizzling romance and good-natured humor.The Lori Foster novel was an enjoyable read as well, although I did have some complaints about the wimpiness and naivete of the heroine. I probably would not have tried this author had she not been paired with Ms. Krentz, but I will keep an eye out for her books in the future.
Rating:  Summary: Beguiled by Lori Foster!! Review: Dane Carter is pretending to be his brother Derek while he searches for Derek's killer. He thinks he's got a hot lead when Angel Morris walks into his--Derek's--office. The more he learns of her relationship with his brother--that Derek had betrayed her trust, had her fired from her job, fathered her child, then left her--the more it looks like Angel could be Derek's killer. Yet, the more he learns of Angel, the more he knows it isn't her. When it turns out someone is trying to kill Angel, Dane is left with finding the real killer and protecting the woman he loves. Lori Foster's ability to pull readers into the story and not let go until the very last page is what makes her such an enduring favorite!

Rating:  Summary: Puzzling. Review: First, let me say this was a good book. I love a hero who is burned out and a heroine who looks for the good in people. But...I found myself constantly looking at the author's name to verify that it said Jayne Ann Krentz on the cover. There was none of her signature humor or crackling sexual tension. As it has a 1999 copyright date, I would expect her usual style. Could this be a much older book that wasn't published until 1999? If you're a JAK fan, you might be disappointed. If you like sweet romance with a little sex and interesting minor characters, this is the book for you.
Rating:  Summary: A Super Twofer... Review: If you like your romance steamy, your men hot and your women feisty then these two stories are a must-have for your collection. Jayne Ann Krentz gives us a vintage tale of love, lust and confusion between detective Josh January and innkeeper Maggie Gladstone. This is wonderful Krentz stuff, the affair is believable, the characters charming and the story holds us to the last kiss! Lori Foster gives us a harder-edged tale of brotherly love taken to a new dimension when Dane Carter replaces identical (and dead) twin Derek at the helm of their company and in the bed of former girlfriend Angel Morris. A tale that could have become sloppy and unpleasant remains taut and enthralling, the steamy sensuality will melt your heart and leave you cheering for the eventually triumphant couple. Cetainly the plots are predictable, and there is little mystery in whodunnit, but do we buy romances for mystery? You'll find plenty of what we do buy romances for between the covers of this book!!!
Rating:  Summary: couldn't put it down Review: This the type of book by JAK that I familiar with. I thought Maggie and Josh had sparks flying as soon as they got together. I like the way the characters fit in the story,although I did guess who was the behind the mischief even before the story was over. I would have liked to have been wrong and it turned out to have been someone else,that's the only disappointment of the book. I like the romance,the going of the throats of both heroes. I like the book very much. I am definitely a fan!
Rating:  Summary: couldn't put it down Review: This was my first Lori Foster book. I loved every minute of it. After reading it I went out and bought four other Lori Foster books. I like authors who don't portray the hero as a wimpy romantic. Her male characters are more masculine, while still being romantic. I happen to have three older brothers, me being the only girl in the family, so I can also say I like her female characters better, because they are not all wishy washy. I also love finding authors who are as good with the secondary characters as the main characters, and she definitely fills that bill. Keep Writting Lori!
