A Super Twofer..., May 24 2001
By Book Addict "B.A." - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Private Eye / Beguiled (Mass Market Paperback)
If you like your romance steamy, your men hot and your women feisty then these two stories are a must-have for your collection. Jayne Ann Krentz gives us a vintage tale of love, lust and confusion between detective Josh January and innkeeper Maggie Gladstone. This is wonderful Krentz stuff, the affair is believable, the characters charming and the story holds us to the last kiss! Lori Foster gives us a harder-edged tale of brotherly love taken to a new dimension when Dane Carter replaces identical (and dead) twin Derek at the helm of their company and in the bed of former girlfriend Angel Morris. A tale that could have become sloppy and unpleasant remains taut and enthralling, the steamy sensuality will melt your heart and leave you cheering for the eventually triumphant couple. Cetainly the plots are predictable, and there is little mystery in whodunnit, but do we buy romances for mystery? You'll find plenty of what we do buy romances for between the covers of this book!!!

PRIVATE EYE is a classic romance!, Sep 27 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Private Eye / Beguiled (Mass Market Paperback)
Jayne Anne Krentz has written a wonderful romance between a streetwise, cynical detective and an innocent, small-town girl. The mystery is light, the romance is crackling. Best of all is the spunky trio of elderly tenants. These three leap off the pages, giving the hero and heroine's romance a push, a nudge, and a downright shove. PRIVATE EYE is a classic romance that will have you flipping the pages to get to the fantastic ending. Krentz ties this one up with a happily ever after you'll long remember.

Beguiled by Lori Foster!!, Nov 17 2001
By Holly Fuhrmann - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Private Eye / Beguiled (Mass Market Paperback)
Dane Carter is pretending to be his brother Derek while he searches for Derek's killer. He thinks he's got a hot lead when Angel Morris walks into his--Derek's--office. The more he learns of her relationship with his brother--that Derek had betrayed her trust, had her fired from her job, fathered her child, then left her--the more it looks like Angel could be Derek's killer. Yet, the more he learns of Angel, the more he knows it isn't her. When it turns out someone is trying to kill Angel, Dane is left with finding the real killer and protecting the woman he loves.
Lori Foster's ability to pull readers into the story and not let go until the very last page is what makes her such an enduring favorite!
