delightful lighthearted contemporary romance

She offers the predator a game of chance, high card if he wins she hands over her shares of stock while if she wins he backs off. He agrees and she draws the higher card. Gideon cannot get Hannah out of his mind as she brought to him is first refreshing event since he was betrayed by his mentor years ago. Though he must contend with his late teacher¿s offspring Hugh Ballantine, Gideon decides to go after Hannah. She, in turn, is looking at the journals her late Aunt Elizabeth Nord a renowned but controversial anthropologist took when she visited Revelation Island. The shy counselor steps out of character for the second time in a short period to follow up on her aunt¿s revolutionary work.

The tale stars a likable seemingly naive heroine and an apparent business predator readers will quickly decide that perceptions and images can be deceiving. The support cast enhances the fun story line starting when Hannah pulls out her deck of cards and Gideon keeps them as a souvenir and never slows down until the final confrontation with Aunt Elizabeth¿s legacy. --- Harriet Klausner

Not her better work.

I love Jayne Ann Krentz, but this book was a little ho-hum.

Not a usual quality book for this author

Don't waste time or money

I wasn't thrilled

This was pretty predictable, and I really didn't like the main character, she got more and more irritating as the book went on.

Not one of her best

aka Amanda Quick - this author is usually one I will pick up and read with enthusiasm. Unfortunately this book left me wanting and was anticlimatic. I feel that she could have done better. The characters were predictable and there were some situations that could have been played out much better.

This is a book that I will most likely give away. I typically covet my book collection but after reading this one the single time I don't think I would read it again.

I enjoy her Arcane series books -- those are well written and very entertaining. I continue to read the series from start to finish every time a new installment comes out.
