Look in his eyes. He's hiding something... Shy daydreamer Tabitha Graham had a vivid imagination. When she rescued tourist Devin Coulter from a back-alley mugging, she imagined that she'd found a soul mate in the sweet, quiet man. But Dev was no tourist, that was no simple mugging and Tabby's perfect gentleman was in fact a ferocious, FABULOUS BEAST. If there was anything Ariana Warfield couldn't stand, it was a phony. Her beloved aunt Philomena was under the spell of a con artist, and she knew that only master illusionist Lucian Hawk could reveal this swindler's cheap deceptions. But on the NIGHT OF THE MAGICIAN, Ariana would learn to distinguish tricks from real magic.
OK, don't be put off by my lackluster title. The book is pretty good. First point for reading this book: be a Jayne Ann freak like me. Second, acknowledge that these stories are dated re-issues and deal with it! Now for the review...I liked the first story "Fabulous Beast" better than the second story. In the first story, Tabby is a single, innocent woman on a cruise. She rescues a fellow passenger and incorrectly assumes that he is meek and mild-mannered like her. Clearly, he is not. Krentz does not leave the reader with a clueless heroine (she DUMPS him!) and the hero does the decent thing by falling in love with Tabby. To be perfectly honest, it's been awhile since I read this book so I don't recall alot of the second story's plot. Suffice it to say that the story was not as good as the first but not a total snore. If you find the book on the sale shelf, buy it and enjoy.
Romantic Intrique
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
I bought this book and have thoroughly enjoyed each of the stories. Each story contains a strong heroine and hero. Not only are these romance stories, but they are also full of intrique and suspense. These are definitely one of my favorite book purchases thus far.
