This is definitely one of the writer's better written books. The story was about Anne Silver avenging her reporter brother's attempted murder by a bunch of thieves stealing valuables disguised as de-ghost experts. Since Anne was just an ordinary woman with no special investigative skills or training, she sought out Julian Aries' help in exposing these phonies. Julian was an FBI agent who promised to come back to her after he finished his then assignment. The problem was he never showed up, and as much as Anne hated him, she was left with no choice but to turn to him for advice and help. The story went on about how they set up the plan and trapped these cons in a haunted house and how they fell in each other's arm during the process.All in all, it is page-turner with an intriguing plot. Both characters were well developed, and the twist at the end was a sure surprise. I also like it when the writer added in a touch of supernatural spirit to spice up the story. If it were not for the silly gibberish quarrel that the heroine picked up at the first few chapters and some occasional typos, this book would warrant a FIVE-star. Anyhow, I would recommend this book to anyone who likes a fast-paced, suspenseful gothic with strong sexual tension blended in it.
This is Vintage Krenz i.e. the man is secretive and dominating and the woman secretly likes it and admires him even while it irritates her to do so. It was written back in the 80's so many 2000+ readers may find his "Daddy Knows Best" attitude and her final acceptance of it a little grating. Not that she accepts it willingly or is afraid to stand up to him and the ensuing battle of the sexes was fun to re-read.
I enjoyed this novel a lot more than I have some of JAK's other shorter novels. The characters seemed to be adequately developed, there weren't any irrational jumps in emotion or plot, and the story didn't feel rushed or contrived. All in all I'd say it was worth reading, though I doubt I'd buy it.Four stars for keeping me entertained and for keeping me from wanting to chuck it across the room in frustration.

This is a reprint of a book that was printed back in the 80's. After reading it you can really see where Krentz is going as a writer and how she's developed.I did like the book. I had wondered what was going to happen in the end because I couldn't imagine the criminals being that stupid - and they weren't. Both Julian and Anne have some baggage. "If she hadn't fully accepted his claim, at least she wasn't going to defy him or his rule" - what century did that come from? Actually enjoyed the 'out of shape' issue that comes up in the end - finally someone who isn't perfect.
I really expected more from this story. In a way it seemed, JAK was just pushing through it to get it finished and wasn't having any fun with the characters. It had a lot of potential and I just felt let down. Its a read for a day off from work when you can't think of anything else to do.
I borrowed this audiobook from my library. I really love JAK. I went into this knowing it was an early book of hers, so therefor didn't have my normal expectations. However, this book, while not her best, was made that much worse by an over-enunciating narrator whose male/female voices didn't really vary. The only reason I kept listening is so I could find out what happened.The story itself wasn't that bad. If you want to read it still, my suggestion - get the hard copy.
Easy and fun read. One of Krentz early books but shows she has always been a great author. Has mystery and romance a hard combination to beat.
