Shared Dream [Paperback]

Jayne Ann Krentz (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: July 1, 2001

The warrior died at her feet, his blood running out of the cave entrance and mingling with the waterfall. With his last breath he cursed the woman -- told her that her spirit would remain chained in the cave forever until a child was created and born there . . .

So goes the ancient legend of the Chained Lady and the curse that bound her throughout the ages -- until destiny brings Diana Prentice and Colby Savagar together. Suddenly, they are both haunted by dreams that link past and present, while their waking hours are filled with danger. But it is only when Colby, Diana's modern-day warrior, learns to love can these dark forces be vanquished. Only then can Diana set the Chained Lady free . . .

3.0 out of 5 stars Not quite good enough to buy twice., September 8, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Shared Dream (Paperback)

This is a good book, but not one of Jayne Ann Krentz's best. Also, it's not readily apparent that it is a reprint until you check out the copyright page. I bought it in 1988 and again under the new title unknowingly. I wish I had seen these comments first.

Vintage Krentz has businesswoman, Diana, spending a summer vacation deciding what to do since her promotion was denied by the male dominated executives. In the small town she meets Colby Savagar, a horror novelist, who is also trying to come to terms with his past as the bad boy of Fulbrook Corners, Oregon. Woven into the plot is the legend of the Chained Lady. The two lovers are haunted by the same dreams of the beautiful Indian princess and the warrior who keeps her prisoner. If typos and sloppy editing don't bother you, this will be a riveting story.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Shared Dream, June 23, 2001

This review is from: Shared Dream (Paperback)

Please be advised that this is an anthology which includes a couple of reprints of earlier Jayne Ann Krentz's books from the 1980's (Dreamscape). Yes I did enjoy those books even though I can't remember the exact titles without looking them up but I did ask at the JAK web site and found out that this is a reprint. For those of you who don't own JAK's older books you'll enjoy them. But for those with JAKs beware.
