5.0 out of 5 stars The Best JAK book written yet!, Jun 6 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Gift of Gold (Mass Market Paperback)

I have read almost every JAK book that she has written. I can say that I have enjoyed every contemporary romance she has written (I'm not too into the otherworld, futuristic ones). Her heroes are always believable but heroic. Her heroines are down-to-earth women. And of all the books I've read, this one is my absolute favorite. Those professional advertising reviews always state "you won't be able to put it down", but in this case, its true! I totally fell in love with Jonas and could easily imagine myself as Verity (I have red hair too!). And by the way... Make sure you read Gift of Fire after this one; it takes you through Verity and Jonas' next phase of their romance and keeps you "begging for more".

1.0 out of 5 stars Definitely not Krentz's best work, Aug 26 2000

By	Lover of Mysteries "avatar_of_ares" (Norridge, IL United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Gift of Gold (Mass Market Paperback)

If it weren't for the Renaissance story thread, I'd have tossed the book without finishing it (Jonas is a dishwasher with a PhD in history). In the beginning Verity lets Jonas force his way into her closed restaurant and gives him a job even though she is fearful and suspicious of him.

Jonas later shows up at a nearby spa where the owners let Verity use the hot tub after hours. Jonas joins her in the women-only facility, climbs in with her in his underwear, and starts fondling her. I've never run into another of Krentz's female characters that stupid. It does get better toward the end.

The sequel, Gift of Fire, is much better. The only reason I read it is that I bought the two books at the same time.

Jonas Quarrel was a man with a gift -- a psychic gift that threatened to overtake him if he didn't discover how to leash the power within. Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Unbelievable!
This was absolutely the most far fetched, ridiculously written book I have ever read in my life. After reading 2/3 of the way through I had to burn it in the campfire out of... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars The best out of a huge body of work.
I've been reading Jayne Ann Krentz for 20 years. She has written a LOT of good books, but these two--Gift of Gold and Gift of Fire--are probably my favorites of hers. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Definitely a "gift" for the reader
Verity and Jonas are very memorable characters, which is why the sequel to this book "Gift of Fire" was written, if it had not been, we would have demanded it! Read more
