More About the Author

The author of over 50 New York Times bestsellers, JAYNE ANN KRENTZ writes romantic-suspense, often with a psychic and paranormal twist, in three different worlds: Contemporary (as Jayne Ann Krentz), historical (as Amanda Quick) and futuristic (as Jayne Castle). There are over 35 million copies of her books in print.

Building on the success of her DREAMLIGHT TRILOGY in 2010, Jayne is now focused on writing the LOOKING GLASS TRILOGY. This series will follow the Quicksilver Mirror (a paranormal artifact) through all three of Jayne's worlds covering a time span of several hundred years.

The first LOOKING GLASS book, IN TOO DEEP, will feature Fallon Jones, a recurring character from Jayne's contemporary ARCANE SOCIETY series of novels.

4.0 out of 5 stars another page-turner, December 8, 2002

Courtesy of A Romance Review

Chance of a Lifetime was published in August 1997 and was still out of print. It was another page-turner of Ms Krentz that you can easily finish reading within one day. In this book, Rachel and Chance had very similar characters - smart, independent, intelligent and very protective of their family. The whole story was simple, entertaining and full of love. The attraction between the hero and heroine was strong from the very beginning and you could just predict they would be together and perfect for each other. That's what romance is supposed to be. Don't you think?

4.0 out of 5 stars Not Bad for a Hackneyed Plot Device, October 22, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Chance Of A Lifetime (Mass Market Paperback)

Krentz (also known in the Historical Romance Genre as Amanda Quick) uses the plot device of mistaken identity to get this novel started. The heroine is a typical Krentz heroine--sassy, agressive, and determined to see "justice" done. Similarly, the hero fits the mold of the tough, sarcastic loner just waiting for the right woman to arrive and bring him the stability he (supposedly) craves. A couple of confusing subplots and some annoying behavior by the hero (frequently he bellows for his Scotch before dinner) prevent this from being a great book, although it is a good beach or airplane read. I've read better from Krentz/Quick.
