Customer Reviews

Different and interesting

Raven's Prey. This one was different and the Mexican local made it more interesting. It kept me guessing and all worked out the way it should have. Not the usual hero or heroine, that made it all the more interesting.

A rough couple

A love story between a couple that does not want to bein love. Very good book, like all that I've read from this author.

Queen of Romance Does It Again

I'm big fan of Jayne Krentz. Her novels never disappointed. This is no exception. The plot involves Honor Knight who tries to convinced Raven a mercenary hired to bring her back. That she is in danger. So you have the right recipe for romance,suspense,anticipation. Finally the climax of the story. If you want a great read this is it.

A great golden oldie from Jayne Ann Krentz

Raven's Prey, Silhouette Intimate Moments #21, is Jayne Ann Krentz writing as Stephanie James. This book was written over twenty years ago, so it's a wee bit dates, okay, rather dated, but put that aside and enjoy a fun book showing JAK's style before she got too polished. Her current writings really are letting me down, two books out of three, because she is going through the motions. Oh, she is a very brilliant writer, has been one of my favorite writers for two decades. But of late, JAK has forgotten her roots. I am seeing many Romance writers moving to mainstream, and that is fine, but at the same time, I am seeing many of same those writers forgetting what pushed them to the top - their ability to create characters that make you care, the ability to use words on a paper to evoke romance.This is JAK at her freshest, sparkling style. The battle between the Man from Venus and the Woman from Mars. JAK is a master in this formula, giving you love between opposites. Any JAK knows the routine - feisty woman, dark and slightly dangerous man put in a situation that forces emotions to rise quickly. So enjoy the brightness of JAK when she still had a true love for romance!Honor Knight was on the run. She'd been hiding in Mexico for a month now, fearing for her life, but the minute he walked into the small cantina, he was there for her. The man was dressed all in black, had black hair. Judd Raven fit his name very well. He was hired to bring Honor back and he intended to do just that.He turned a deaf ear to Honor's pleas the men who hired him to bring her back were not her father and brother. Eventually, he says he will make sure before he turns her over that they can provide proof of their claim. When it proves out Honor was telling the truth, it was too late in her eyes. He hadn't believed her. Honor thinks their relationship can never survive this. Only, Judd is not willing to let Honor go. The male-female dynamics are outmoded, but the thrill of JAK really enjoying what she was writing overcomes this. Lets all hope, she takes six month off and goes back and re-reads her first 10 years of work, when she was so sharp, so sparkling. There is no one who can touch her in the feisty heroine and the confused alpha male formula, so I sincerely hope she finds diamonds in the rough have their own beauty, instead of overly polishing them.

One of her better efforts from the 80's

Reviewer: Robin Peek This is a story of a woman on the run and the man sent to bring her home. A thrilling adventure with intrigue and desire. Honor Knight, a beautiful woman with a soft heart, who is in the wrong place at the wrong time. Judd Raven, the dark and dangerous hunk sent to return her to her family. These two first meet in a smoky cantina in Mexico, where Honor has run to escape the threat on her life. Judd has been hired by her "father and brother" to bring her back to the States. He has been on her trail and thinks she is crazy, from her father has told him about her. Judd doesn't realize til much later that he has been lied to and the man is not her father, but one who wants to kill her. Honor falls for Judd hard and is hurt when he won't even listen to her story. These two must overcome many obstacles to be together. They must learn to trust in their love for each other or risk losing each other forever. This story with its danger and intrigue is a real page turner. I was enthralled with the story from the first page to the last one. This is a definite keeper, if you can find a copy to read and keep. If I had to rate it I would give the book a five star rating.
