Both of these vintage Jayne Krentz books are dated but interesting to read. When she first came out with these I think that she was one of the very few romance authors doing fantasy/sci-fi/futuristics of that type so she was definitely breaking new ground. The problem is she used the old bodice ripper model to do it and her males are a bit more alpha than the 21st century reader is used to. These two books are more in her Stephanie James style of writing than her Crystal, Quick or Krentz style of writing. So brace yourself. The heroes are of the "Me Tarzan you Jane --and you mine" and the heroines are of the "No. I mean yes. I mean no. I mean yessss .... (insert moan)" type. They are still fun to read -- just realize that it's been a few years since they were written and they're not exactly politically correct.

This is a good book that is fun to read. It's well written and interesting. It's book 1 and 2 in a series, but you can read att 3 books by them selves without getting comfused or lost. They are independent books.

I read all of Jayne Ann Krentz/Jayne Castle/Amanda Quick/Stephanie James books and have for many years. I never miss any of her works. I started loaning a friend some of my collection of her books and she's totally hooked!

I had read Sweet Starfire years ago and was excited when I found this version. 2 for 1 deals are the best!

However the 2nd story I found boring and unreadable. Maybe one day I will attempt it again, but after the freat story of Cidra, I just couldn't get into Cyrstal Flame. I like most Jayne Ann Krentz but that one was just difficult to get through.
