80's Reprint,
By
This review is from: Gambler's Woman (Mass Market Paperback)
Another reprint from Krentz's 1980s backlist. Alyssa Chandler is a statistician for a California company but on weekends she becomes a lady gambler in Las Vegas. She meets the mysterious Jordan Kyle and her life changes drastically. She cannot relegate him to her weekends and he has the ablility to ruin her corporate life. If you are expecting something of the caliber of current Krentz books, look in another place. This is not the best of her reprinted titles, "Fabulous Beast" comes to mind. Gambler is enjoyable but predictable. Wait for the publishing date of her newest book.

Bizarre. Oh so bizarre.,
By KarLynP "romance books rule" (Bay Area, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Gambler's Woman (Mass Market Paperback)
This was such a bizarre story - and not in a good way. It was down right awful. As one person already pointed out its an insult to women, which is just part of why this book was so bad. The hero was so awful that I kept waiting for her to get the restraining order and kick him and his dominating angry temper to the curb. But nooooooo, this brilliant modern woman must like abuse - despite her desire for a good decent loving man. Some how this book implies that he is a good man, but the story never shows it. And within a matter of days she turns her entire life upside down to be in this sick codependent relationship. It's such a poorly written story. It's not meant to be a dark scary story either. It really is meant to be a romance. But there is NO romance!!! They fall in love, but you never know why. He's abusive to the point of serial-killer scary, but she finds him charming. ?? She desperately wants a promotion, and then on whim (or what feels like a whim) she changes her tune completely. It's a bizarre awful book that no romance fan will enjoy. How it got published is beyond me.

Insulting to Women! Don't waste your money,
By Sprtwareor (AZ) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Gambler's Woman (Mass Market Paperback)
I can't believe Jayne Ann Krentz actually wrote this one. The women in the book were stilted characters who accepted abuse and asked for more. What's with this? How insulting. It never got better. This was supposed to be 'true love'? Give me a break. It's going in the trash can. I wouldn't even give this one away.
