BLURB:
No one on the net had the same blurb or picture as I did that I
could find but I was too lazy to retype it. ;-) Figured this was
close enough.
This paranormal mystery-romance takes place several centuries in the
future, on the planet Harmony, a colony of Earth. Heroine Lydia Smith
is a down-on-her-luck archaeologist who specializes in extraterrestrial
alien cultures. Lydia is forced to take on a consulting client named
Emmett London, who needs her to help him find a valuable antiquity.
Though Lydia realizes that Emmett might be a dangerous man, she finds
herself attracted to him nevertheless.
FORMAT: Paperback
REVIEW:
This is the first book in a two part series - though I’d like to
note there are several more books based out of this world. As usual
with Jayne’s books, I absolutely love the story telling. And in
particular I look forward to the reading books from this new world. I
however do not think of Jayne as a typical romance storyteller though
all her books are intertwined around the couples and them having a
happy ending. I like that. But I don’t find the ‘passion’ if you will
ever truly fits in the story. I feel she could almost ‘keep the door
shut’ on that end of things because often we don’t hear what the
characters are ‘feeling’…they just are.
For example, and I am trying to keep this vague on purpose so you
don’t actually know the details of what happens in one of these two
books—but the hero gets hurt. Lydia rushes to his side and helps him
and business is taken care of. Now as far as the story goes…I like
this. It works and I have no complaints. But then if two minutes
later they are jumping in the sack I’m like…what??? I didn’t hear her
mind once ‘think’… He’s the love of my life..I can’t live without
him…or what was I thinking keeping distance between us, I could lose
him at any second…life is too short... the list goes on of possibilities.
See what I mean? There are a ton of ways to connect us on that
plane but she doesn’t do it. Obviously I love her writing for other
reasons. I love the stories she tells and I love that I’m guarenteed
that the couple will end up together. And I will continue to buy her
books.
