Book Description

Publication Date: September 2, 2003

In this breathtaking trilogy, collected in one volume for the first time, Jayne Ann Krentz welcomes her readers to Eclipse Bay, a small Oregon town filled with secrets as treacherous as the coastal landscape and rivalries as fierce as an ocean storm...

Eclipse Bay... When Hannah and Rafe are reunited by a surprise inheritance, they are expected to despise each other as much as their grandfathers did. Instead, they discover that they don't hate each other--not at all...

Dawn in Eclipse Bay... After Gabe's disastrous attempt at trying Lilian Harte's matchmaking service, Lilian calls it quits. But Gabe has no intention of letting her off the hook. And when things get heated, the sparks between them turn personal.

Summer in Eclipse Bay... Scandalous passions and a decades-old feud bring together Octavia and Nick, two people who shouldn't even be friends, let alone lovers...

Before you get excited and say - wow, a follow up to the Eclipse bay trilogy, be warned that "Together in Eclipse Bay" is compilation which includes the entire Eclipse Bay trilogy dramatizing the modern-day Hatfield and McCoy-style family feud between the Harte and Madison families or a coastal Oregon town.

Eclipse Bay ~ A matchmaking aunt wants to end a 3-generation feud by willing her estate to her niece Hannah Harte and Rafe Madison, the grandson of the rival family, hoping to unite them in romance and put an end to the feud once and for all. This is the best of the bunch.

Dawn in Eclipse Bay ~ When he is not able to make a love match, workaholic Gabe Madison insists that professional matchmaker Lillian Harte either find him one more date, or be his date, They manage to ignite a fiery passion despite the history between their families.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not bad but..., April 27, 2008

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

OK i happen to really like JAK normally and was soo excited for this trilogy to be in one book, but it didnt really live up to my expectations of her. In all fairness i didnt yet read the last story but i found that the relationships felt rushed and although the characters were likeable, the plots were so boring I had to force myself through them. All in all not her best but maybe bc they are shorter stories. who knows. still not bad if you have nothing to do one evening.

This trilogy of stories from Jayne Ann Krentz details the story of two feuding families and how the grandchildren of the two come together(in more ways than one) and resolve old disputes and make new beginnings. While not her usual mystery/murder with complications stories, they are entertaining and a good read for fans.
