Thanks for this! I loved, loved, LOVED JAK’s temptations when I was in high school and haunted a local UBS. I remember really enjoying this one. Another particular favorite featured a professor.

I’m reading some of the one and two star reviews on Amazon for Lady’s Choice and I started laughing at the differences between Jane’s “confident, passionate,” and “assertive” woman and others’ comments about a “psychopathic heroine” (7/30/00) and a women who is “just downright unlikeable” (3/27/08).

I may have just had a post eaten by the spam filter. Anyway, Christine Rimmer is probably looking for Nightwalker by Stephanie James.

@Christine Rimmer: Nightwalker– former casino owner. I remember it was hard to find when I was helping friend glom original editions a few years ago. Probably reprinted, most of the Stephanie James have been. Always wondered why the Dell categories or the MacFadden books were never reprinted. The MacFadden ones were really hard to find– Jayne Bentley.

Jane, that scene on the car is making me want to hunt down a copy of the book now. Thanks!

@Christine Rimmer: Could the book you remember be “Gambler’s Woman”? I have the audiobook of JAK’s version (haven’t ‘read’ it yet) but the title kind of matched and “Stephanie James” also had a book with the same title…

Summary:
“To win big, she’d have to risk it all . . .
Dark, dangerous Jordan Kyle lived life on his own terms, setting his own rules and playing for high stakes. He’d moved through this world alone, and was satisfied to have it that way — until he encountered Alyssa Chandler.

By day Alyssa was a cool, controlled mathematical whiz, sorting through facts and figures. By night it was a different story. At night she became a creature of beauty and passion who was more than a match for Jordan. But were Jordan’s seductive caresses enough for Alyssa to take a chance on a future together?

Only time would tell . . . “

@Malle Your historical perspective is so interesting. I loved the Temptation line. I was so sad to see it retired.

@Kay Webb HarrisonOh I also loved A Woman's Touch. I can't remember Full Bloom. I bet I have it though.

This book sounds like something I’d really enjoy. I have never read JAK’s Harlequin novels. I started reading her early Amanda Quick books and later Jayne Ann Krentz singles, but I stopped awhile back when the heroines seemed to all blend in with each other with the similar quirky traits. Now I’m going to see if I could find a used copy of this. Thanks for the review.

Oh man, that was one of my all time favorite Jayne Ann Krentz books! I found it in a used bookstore and kept it till it fell apart. I LOVED that scene where she stands on the car and yells at Travis! The really funny part is that I was trying to remember the title just last week thinking I would try and hunt a copy down. I’m not fond of her current stuff, but I still own many of her Amanda Quick and Jayne Ann Krentz books in hardcover. I sort of stopped buying her when she went paranormal and I didn’t like the way she did it one bit.
