Canyons of the Night Jayne Castle Jayne Ann Krentz

REVIEW: Canyons of the Night by Jayne Ann Krentz

JaneC+ ReviewsAgency pricing / Contemporary / friends-to-lovers / Jayne-Ann-Krentz / Paranormal / Penguin20 Comments

Dear Ms. Krentz: My favorite thing about your books is the interaction of your main characters and your dry wit that seeps through the dialogue.  “Canyons of the Night” is set in the same world as the Jayne Castle series that involves glowing green alien artifacts, rezzed amber, and dust ... more >

Sexual Force and Reader Consent in Romance

Dear Ms. Krentz: I think that my favorite books of yours are the not the paranormals but since you’ve decided to go all paranormal all the time, I’ve just got to suck it up or stop reading you.    So am sucking it up because apparently you are a drug ... more >

REVIEW: Dark Light by Jayne Castle

JaneB Reviews Category / B- Reviews / Book Reviewsfuturistic / Jayne-Ann-Krentz / psychic11 Comments

Dear Ms. Castle: >I haven’t read all your Harmony stories but I admit to enjoying them quite a bit even though, at times, I have felt like they were futuristic lite. Maybe I was just in a good mood when I read this one, but the story worked for me ... more >
