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.

When she's not writing, Jayne can be found at her favorite social networking site posting messages to her fans.

4.0 out of 5 stars Suffering from a little touch of "Sequel-itis"?, May 20, 2001

In this sequel to the delightful "Eclipse Bay" we meet the feudin' Hartes and Madisons once again. This time, Lillian Harte falls victim to the charms of Gabe Madison and love and mayhem ensue. Unfortunately, this book doesn't hold up as well against the original, in my opinion. The sparkle and wit that permeated the first book is not as prevalent (maybe I just missed Winston the dog) and because much of the Harte/Madison conflict had been resolved by Rafe and Hannah in "Eclipse Bay", the feud as a plot device was lacking! However, these comments are not meant to dissuade any potential readers - Jayne Ann Krentz is truly a master of her genre and you won't find a better lighthearted romance around than one with her name on it!! I would urge, however, that you start with "Eclipse Bay" just to keep the characters in chronological order and then, after reading "Dawn", wait, as I am, for the next book about Nick and Octavia Brightwell!

3.0 out of 5 stars Good Story, Nice Little Plot, May 5, 2001

This review is from: Dawn in Eclipse Bay (Paperback)

Overall this is a pretty good story. The romance between Gabe and Lillian was neat, although very predictable. Bringing in the Hartes and Madisons together again was a neat plot; however, the continous repetition about Hartes' being what they are and "What did you expect, he's a Madison", got really, really tiresome. A few times fine but constant repetition was annoying. Jayne Ann Krentz has done so much better in the past.

5.0 out of 5 stars Eclipse Bay Books are the best she's written in years!, May 7, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Dawn in Eclipse Bay (Paperback)

I've been a fan since Ms. Krentz' Candelight Ecsatsy Romance days, and she is one of the rare authors I followed to hardback. Nevertheless, I had just about given up on her after the last several Krentz/Quick stilted and formulaic offerings. The Eclipse Bay books, in paperback no less!, are a return to the much more lively and entertaining books I expect from this author.
