Dangerous Games: The Devil to Pay / Wizard (Mass Market Paperback)

~ (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Emelina Stratton was desperate to save her brother's life. Desperate enough to ask mafia-chieftain-in-hiding Julian Colter for help. The man, shrouded in mystery and with lethal good looks, said yes. For a price, of course. Emmy would have The Devil To Pay. Especially since she was what Julian demanded in return.

Intellectual Sophia Bennett knew what kind of man she wanted: a rugged cowboy. And in Texas they were everywhere! So why couldn't she take her eyes off brilliant professor Max Travers? He was a Wizard in mathematics who surely made love by the numbers. Yet every inch of him—no Stetson, no dusty boots—added up to dangerously sexy.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't Waste Your Money!!, October 23, 2008

By	MLP "mlp32" (New Jersey ,United States) - See all my reviews

I never write reviews, but felt compelled this time because I don't want anyone else to waste their money. Although it is not stated anywhere in the description, this book is a reprint from two books published under her pen name, Stephanie James. Both books were written in 1985. Needless to say, they are outdated. Both leading men are dominating and emotionally abusive with implied physical threats thoughout. The woman are whiny and constantly back down from conflict in order to 'calm down' the raging leading men. Jayne Ann Krenz did not bother to update or rewrite anything, so this is just a way to rake in a few easy bucks for her and her publisher. Don't be a sucker like me. Avoid this one and save yourself some money!!

1.0 out of 5 stars Alas I wish I listened, November 13, 2008

By	Rosa "Bookworm" (Detroit,MichiganUSA) - See all my reviews

I tried to give this book the benefit of the doubt. Since some of Jayne Ann Krentz reissues are good. But this just isn't one of them. The Heroines are truly weak while the men in the novels are so-so. I wish that I saw the previous review before I purchased the novel. Please listen and wait for the next one.

1.0 out of 5 stars UGH.., January 11, 2009

By	M. Campbell "GURU" (Hobart, TAS Australia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Ugh... Ok so I should have maybe looked at the reviews before I bought it BUT I love JAK and well it was instinctive.. So I wasted my money.
ITS A REPRINT PEOPLE!!!
Originally published in 1985 or something. There is no traditional JAK spark.. it was dull and boring and to tell you all the truth I didnt even finish The Devil to Pay. I fell asleep instead.
If you want to read something GREAT from Jayne Ann Krentz read the Arcane Society series!
