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.

Summer in Eclipse Bay ~ After losing his wife in a car accident, lothario Nick Harte has met his match in sexy gallery owner Octavia Brightwell. She has a distant link to the Madison family. She likes him, but does not want to get involved since her great aunt sparked the family feud.

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.

Enjoyed this book -- even read it more than once. This purchase was a replacement copy person that borrowed my original coipy did not return the book.

A great way to purchase three of my favorite Krentz novels in one book: Eclipse Bay, Dawn in Eclipse Bay and Summer in Eclipse Bay. All three books deal with the Harte and Madison families and the resolution of a feud that began 30 years before. My favorite is "Dawn"; the love story between Gabe and Lillian is delightful.

All three are exceptional is all I can say. What a wonderful way to read the triology, one of Jane's best.
