More About the Author

When a curtain opened allowing travel between Earth and a new world, it was a tourism opportunity like no one could have envisioned. Travelers moved back and forth between worlds with ease until...the curtain closed.

Abandoned on the new world with no access to Earth technology, the unexpected colonists had to learn to survive. And survive they did. JAYNE CASTLE chronicles the lives of their descendants in her best selling HARMONY SERIES. Turns out folks on HARMONY are starting to exhibit paranormal abilities and -- wouldn't you know it -- some of those people with psychic talents descend from members of the ARCANE SOCIETY (a bestselling series that Jayne writes under her two other pen names, JAYNE ANN KRENTZ and AMANDA QUICK).

Jayne is busy working on CANYONS OF NIGHT, Book 3 in the LOOKING GLASS TRILOGY due out in Summer 2011. Writing as JAYNE ANN KRENTZ she will release Book I, IN TOO DEEP, in Winter 2011. And writing under her historical pen name, AMANDA QUICK, she will contribute Book II in the trilogy, QUICKSILVER, in Spring 2011.

5.0 out of 5 stars JAK funtime, July 7, 2004

Think back to yesteryear when Crocket and Tubbs were just hitting their heyday...

Sure, this book is a bit dated, but still is a fun read. Back twenty-years ago when Jayne Ann Kentz - Jayne Castle in this instance - wrote with a fresh, originality that is often lacking in many of her works the past five years. It's typical JAK formula, the feisty, know-it-all woman wanting to control the situation, the immoveable man - the old Mars vs. Venus-on-roller-skates routine that JAK did to perfection. So, if you are forgetting why JAK has always been one of your favs, take a trip down memory lane, back when Sonny drove the black Ferrari, and enjoy the smiles.

Samantha Gabriel needed a business partner, actually she needed that and more. What she truly wanted was an avenging angel and Gabriel Sinclair fitted that bill completely. He had the money to back her financial scheme and what better name for an angel than Gabriel? Only, she had to play her cards right to interest the reclusive investor. She baited her trap with just the perfectly worded message, then checked into a nearby spa to await results. Only, the results were forthcoming much quicker than anticipated. As Sam is undergoing the torture of a vigorous massage in a woman's spa, in strides Gabriel Sinclair. He didn't have a flaming sword, but something told Samantha this angel was more of a deliberate devil, and one that did not like a woman trying to lead him around by a ring in his nose.

The fur flies as Samantha's well-plotted scheme gets complicated by her falling in love with Gabriel. Toss in a half-brother who gets Sam and Gabriel pulled into shady deals and you have JAK fun at her best.

Yes it is dated, but in my opinion it is better written than any of her Harmony books(although they are good).

One other thing the hero actually cooks and eats meat.

It is a very, very, good read.

Book just as described. Actually for being so old is in pretty decent condition. The only nit is that it had a bit of sticky stuff in the bottom of some of the pages and they kept getting stuck. Item arrived quickly and on time.
