More About the Author

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed and surprised this is one of her older books!, March 12, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: True Colors (Mass Market Paperback)

I read anything that is published by Ms. Krentz (as Krentz, Quick or Castle). And her MIRA books are short and often quite good (I liked "Between the Lines". "True Colors" wasn't that bad, but I become tired of Jamie's indecision about who to trust about halfway through the book. I almost put it down because I couldn't take her whining again and the whispers to herself as to what to do. But... finally she trusts (at a critical moment, thank goodness) and all is right. It was a diverting read for an afternoon, but definitely not a keeper.

This review is from: True Colors (Mass Market Paperback)

Great idea........starts off with a lot of good conflict...but....

Cade spent two months romancing Jamie at the same time he was investigating her employers. The investigation blows up, causing Jamie and her employer, Miss Isabel, to have to face the press and investors angry over losing hundreds of thousands of dollars in Miss Isabel's brother's schemes. Cade arrogantly thinks he can say his investigation and using of Jamie to gain information had nothing to do with their romance. GRRRRRRRR

That was the first bad point, but figured you could work with the premise. But instead of learning from it, he continues in the same smug, arrogant, know it all attitude, treating Jamie like he knows more about he than she does herself, and simply because he took her to bed, he owns her. He even smirks that she is likely going to come crawling to him, because she got her pregnant!

Sorry, this one really sucks. Jamie is a wishy-washy character than lets the arrogant guy run all over her and you really end up not liking either of them, and possible downright hating HIM. I don't know any woman who could have loved this guy.

Saying it was dated might cover these sins of woe, but frankly, I did not like this one when it was first published. This sort of jerk was no acceptable back then, and he certainly is not acceptable today.

Especially - DO NOT pay the hardback PRICE!!
