5.0 out of 5 stars Definitely Non-Linear!, March 31, 1998

This review is from: Whirlwind Courtship, High Energy (Paperback)

HIGH ENERGY - Zanita Masterson, reporter for a small-town newspaper owned by her grandpa, is tired of the brainless assignments she's given and wants to get something with more pizazz. So she goes to sign up for a psychic healing class thinking to do a story on it and ends up in a physics class instead. (Zanita can't spell.) The instructor is none other than world-reknowned Tyberius Augustus Evans, hunk extraordinaire'. He sees Zanita and he's hooked. Zanita and Tyber are two people with a mission...Zanita to get her story and Tyber to get Zanita. ONly Zanita has sworn off men. A light and amusing story. The secondary characters are terrific...Zanita's friend "Mills" is a babe in her own right and we meet a possible match for her, but Zanita's "Auntie" is the star, with three hats and an attitude. I can't tell you enough good things about it. Read it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Dara Joy romp is well paired with Krentz classic, August 31, 1997

High Energy, by Dara Joy, is paired with a reprint of an early Jayne Ann Krentz novel, Whirlwind Courtship. Whirlwind Courship is a fun book, with Krentz's usual fiesty heroine and masterful hero. The real riches are found in High Energy.

It has been years since I've laughed out loud so much during one book. It is full of very well written humor. Neither the male nor female love interest is overbearing or full of angst; they find themselves tangled in each other emotionally and physically.

The hero, Tyberius Augustus Evans, is a brilliant, rich, sexy, eccentric physicist. The heroine, Zanita Masterson, is no mere place holder, but is a funny, wry reporter for a small-town newspaper. When she stumbles into his professional seminar and sees a way to get an interview withthe famous recluse, she can't resist luring him into it. But he has decided to lure her into something decidedly different...

I've enjoyed Dara Joys futuristic romances, but I sincerely hope that she writes more romps like this

3.0 out of 5 stars Intense passion, curious characters, and male dominance, August 4, 2008

By 

linda's books "Linda Abbott Trapp, PhD, autho... (Puerto Vallarta, Mexico) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Whirlwind Courtship, High Energy (Paperback)

If you don't mind formulaic romance that's heavy on male dominance, these two novelettes are entertaining reads. In the first, the heroine is a slightly ditzy reporter, and in the second, a more capable managerial professional. Each woman more than meets her match, and each story details the heroine's slowly dissolving resolution to remain independent. Since both heroes are unusually attractive, wealthy, and brilliant, the capitulations are presented as inevitable. There's plenty of passion and a raft of entertaining characters to add to the entertainment value.
