Customer Reviews

A gentler tale than usual.

Virginia Elizabeth Middlebrook's first marriage had been a short taste of hell, making her vow to never marry again. A.C. Ryerson had married too young and swore off love. When A.C. and Virginia first met, they knew thay could become friends. Soon, they overcame Virginia's fears and become lovers. Marriage, however, is another story entirely. Then A.C. wins a stunning emerald and diamond bracelet in a poker game, unleashing a series of suspicious accidents.Another delightful tale by JAK. A.C. and Virginia are not as driven as some of Krentz's usual heroes and heroines. They are comfortable with each other from the first, only shying from committment. The legend behind the bracelet is intriguing. Wonder if there are other books about it?

Excellent book!

Virginia Middlebrook and A.C. Ryerson had both been burned in painful marriage.Neither had any desire to relive the past-they'd take things slow.A Caribbean trip seemed like the perfect way to test the waters of a new relationship...until A.C. wins a breathtaking emerald bracelet with a mysterious past. Suddenly their days-and nights-become a become a reckless roller coaster of adventure, desire...and deadly peril. Not the best of JAK's books but still an excellent book!

another amazing adventure from an amazing author

Part of the montclair jewel trilogy, this book is an example of the greatest romance author of all time. A.C and Viginia are 'friends', and as such they travel abroad. But things do not go as plan when they fall in love and then A.C wins a mysterious bracelet in a game of poker. Unmissable!! One of Krentz's greatest stories yet!!
