The psi world depicted here is new to me so the learning curve with terms in this series is steep. That being said, the book is fast-paced with engaging characters, and I love Hector, the dog. I had a bit of trouble keeping track of the three families and multiple generations over more than 300 y...
Romance and paranormal activities intermingle as the death toll rises. Abby Radwell has always been an outcast, her paranormal talents are unique and her family rather ignore her than accept her gifts. Sam Coppersmith has always had paranormal talent but upon meeting Abby, he has met his match. ...
I've always really enjoyed Krentz's writing & this was no exception but I did feel it could have been better. It started off great, I didn't want to put it down & then for some reason a little bit past halfway through something changed. I was loving the characters and the whole idea of the story....
I picked up this short story for free and read it after reading Fired Up. It's about Fallon Jones the psychic detective of Jones and Jones, and in it he has been requested by the owner of a book store to investigate the weird sensations he is feeling there. The previous owner had mysteriously d...
This was not a good story. The hero, Court, is physically and sexually abusive throughout the first 2/3 of it, and there's no actual chemistry between him and the heroine, Leya. All they do is bicker the whole time before magically "admitting" that they love each other in the last few pages. And ...
At the very beginning I couldn't stop thinking that I have already read this book, which is nearly impossible since I note every book I read meticulously. Still, I had an impression that I somehow know it. So either I indeed already read it and missed to notice it or this book was so similar to s...

Listened to this a while ago on audiobook-- don't remember it too distinctly, except that it was a light diversion for a car trip. I have an interest in lucid dreaming, and maybe that's why I picked this up at goodwill...or it could be that someone had just raved about this author and I figured t...

Pleasant but predictable personal interaction. I wanted more meat. Audiobook narrator made it worse.Cleo runs a small hotel/inn. Her parents were killed a few years ago. A small group of friends work at the Inn. They call themselves a “Family.” This book takes the prize for using the word “...
This story had its good and bad points. I liked the alien world with a touch of magic, and the idea of there being ancient keys and stones of power that represented the different ends of the spectrum. However some other aspects of the story were less satisfying.(view spoiler)[The hero, Ridge, had...
Review of Kindle edition of a Krentz romantic-suspense novel originally published in 2001Dawn in Eclipse Bay is Book 2 in a trilogy of three, contemporary, romantic-suspense novels. The first book is Eclipse Bay. The third book is Summer in Eclipse Bay. Since this is a trilogy, this book is not n...
I listened to this as an unabridged audiobook and if it weren't for the fact that I was trapped in a car with no other form of entertainment to be found I more than likely would've given up on this one mid-way through. The characters were too blah to hold my attention and their attraction to each...
HE FIGURES ONE AND ONE EQUAL TWO. SHE KNOWS HE'S WRONG...IF BABY MAKES THREE.Jonas Quarral was lean, sexy, and equally capable of quoting Renaissance poetry or wielding a dagger. Verity Ames knew Jonas was the perfect partner for an affair--and that he was not the marrying kind. Before long he...
This is a bit of a pivotal book, from a pivotal period in romance fiction. In this one you can see some of the older tropes rearing their ugly head; domineering male issuing commands that the woman follows without arguing enough; that sort of thing, the tropes that gave romance fiction a bad name...
First in a two-part series (followed by Truth or Dare), this book is a great re-read . Ethan Truax is a very believable three-times-divorced and financially bankrupt private investigator starting all over again in Whispering Springs. Zoe Luce (formerly Sara Cleland) is a less believable widow a...
Malgré l'explosion des sous-genres en romance, la romance mâtinée de science-fiction reste marginale et peu connue, y compris de moi-même… C'est pourquoi, lorsque j'ai lu quelque part que Sweet Starfire était considérée comme la première véritable romance SF (exceptant, donc, les ouvrages de SF t...
The hero Ryder and the heroine Brenna meet when Brenna mistakes his cabin for the one she has rented and attempts to climb in the window. They immediately find a common ground in their interests and they end up spending a lot of time together over the following days. Brenna is not interested in a...
