More About This Book

Overview

Jayne Ann Krentz writes as Jayne Castle for her stories set in the future, as Amanda Quick for historical romances, but whatever name she chooses, her dazzling bestsellers capture readers from the first sentence and keep them aboard through the last page of the story. Zinnia Spring's nickname, the "Scarlet Lady," would stop most women cold, but Zinnia rises above it by dressing defiantly in red! Ever since a tabloid ruined her reputation and her interior design business, this headstrong young woman has made a living using her psychic abilities - a highly prized skill that sets her apart on the space colony of St. Helen's. But when she's hired by casino owner Nick Chastain, their meeting of the minds - and hearts - has her seeing stars.

"Dazzling...a scintillating foray into love in another place and time." (Melinda Helfer, Romantic Times)

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
In this return to the futuristic setting of Castle's (aka Jayne Ann Krentz) Amaryllis, casino owner Nick Chastain searches for a full-spectrum "prism" who can focus his psychic talents and help locate his late father's long-lost journal. The journal, which holds the key to a treasure-trove of alien artifacts, is sought by manyincluding a prism named Zinnia Spring. In a world where divorce is non-existent and lifetime marriages are contracted by matched-couple agencies, Nick and Zinnia are labeled unmatchable. But as they join forces to find the journal and a dangerous murderer, the laws of society cease to exist for this star-crossed pair. A riveting but squeamish climax that takes place in a maze of carnivorous plants, brings this imaginative, finely crafted tale to a splendid conclusion while setting the pace for future volumes. (July) FYI: Jayne Ann Krentz (who also writes historicals as Amanda Quick) lives in Seattle. Some of her earlier pseudonymous futuristic novels (such as Starfire) have recently been re-released under her own name.
Library Journal
Continuing her futuristic, paranormal series set on the imaginary world of St. Helens, where matched marriages are the norm and almost everyone is psychically gifted to some degree, Castle (Amaryllis, Pocket, 1996) focuses on two "matchless," highly gifted psychics. She gives them mysteries to solve, murders to avenge, and scandals to deal with and lets them discover their own "impossible" love in the process. There is a high-intensity level to this intelligently humorous romance that features a heroine with a scarlet reputation, a wealthy bastard hero, a demented but seemingly sane villain, and a lethal maze of carnivorous, almost human plants. Castle also writes contemporaries under her own name, Jayne Ann Krentz, and historicals as Amanda Quick and lives in the Seattle area. Note: Librarians will appreciate the casual, favorable references to libraries and librarians in this and in many of the author's other works.

    Wonderful Read

    I really enjoyed this. The same sort of tone as the Arcane series, but with twists and new developments and talents. Nick appears to be the quintessential bad boy, but he's actually a very sweet, romantic (at times even adorably shy) gentlemen - who can hold his own with the toughs of the world. And what he needs is a good woman to help him with his 5 year plan. In walks, quite by accident, Zinnia. Loyal, funny and bogged down by family issues herself, she feels she'll never find her one true match. But who can worry about that when there's been a murder right? That only scratches the surface. Serial killers, betrayal, drugs, attempted hit men, romance, forgery, mutant flora and so much more, it unfolds in a wild ride that kept me glued to it's pages. Another hit for Castle/Krentz.

    This Whole Trilogy is amazing!!

    The Whole Trilogy (Zinnia, Orchid, and Ammarylis) is the best out of all of Castle's books. I wish, wish, wish she would go back to THESE stories!! I've tapered off reading her most recent ones over the last couple of years because they just don't keep me as enthralled as this World does.MUST READ

    Where's the ebook?

    I have this paperback from when it was first published and would love to add it to my ebook collection. The other 2 books in this series are available as ebooks, why not this one?
