Product Details


Product Description

Product Description

Jonas Quarrel was lean, sexy, and equally capable of quoting Renaissance poetry or wielding a dagger. Verity Ames knew Jonas was the perfect partner for an affair – and that he was not the marrying kind. Before long he would be looking for new excitement, leaving Verity behind to run her gourmet restaurant in a California resort, hold on to misty colored memories, and wonder what she was going to do if she were pregnant with his child. Sure enough, her adventuring lover was soon off to an Italian villa rebuilt on a Pacific Northwest island. Jonas went to hunt for missing Renaissance jewels. Verity went along to snare a husband. A big, soft, four-poster bed might be the ideal place to try out her lures! But in this ancient mansion of hidden passageways and mysterious perils, there were some deadly traps for those blinded by love…unless Verity could help Jonas discover the most precious treasure a woman and man can find.


Ingram

When her lean, sexy lover, Jonas Quarrel, leaves her to run her gourmet restaurant and travels to a Pacific Northwest island to search for missing Renaissance jewels, Verity Ames follows him, hoping to snare a husband. Reissue. --This text refers to the Mass Market Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Loved it!, Mar 10 2001
By A Customer
I just finished reading Gift of Fire and Gift of Gold. Jayne Ann Krentz is amazing. Not only do I love her sex scenes but her imagination re: paranormal phenomenon is amazing. What a woman!!

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent page turner every time I read Gift of Fire., Mar 18 1999
By A Customer
Verity and Jonas are wonderful characters. This sequel continues with more interesting dialogue and suspense. The historical facts intertwined with the romance make this book a spell-binding read every time. Jayne Ann Krentz has the ability to weave a story that transports you into the book to watch the scene. I highly recommend both Gift of Fire and Gift of Gold

3.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't stand on its own, Feb 21 1999
By A Customer
Until I searched for Gift of Fire in order to review it, I only suspected that it had been a sequel. I figured that Jonas and Verity had been secondary characters in Gift of Gold that Ms. Krentz made the protagonists of Gift of Fire. Only now do I know that they were the hero and heroine of Gift of Gold as well.

Gift of Fire was exciting and intriguing, and I really enjoyed Jonas and Verity. However, since I didn't know for sure if the book was a sequel, I was annoyed by not fully understanding Jonas' and Verity's past history. I continually felt like I was missing something from their past that might have bearing on the present mystery. I kept waiting for an explanation of what had happened between Jonas and Verity before the book opened.

A cardinal rule of sequels is that they must be able to stand on their own as novels should the reader not have read the first book. Nora Roberts is a master of this. Her trilogies and Sacred Sins and Brazen Virtue all are capable of standing on their own. Especially pertinent to Gift of Fire's failure to stand by itself as the continuing story of Jonas and Verity, Nora Roberts' In Death books as J. D. Robb are the continuing story of Roarke and Eve Dallas, and all stand on their own without leaving the reader needing to have read the previous books in order to understand the one she's currently reading. Previous books' plot surprises are not spoiled, but neither does the reader feel she's lost the thread of the storyline.

Gift of Fire does not stand on its own, and while it was a very entertaining novel, it also left me frustrated.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book!
I read the two books (Gift of Gold and Gift of Fire) in the wrong order. I loved Gift of Fire so much, I had to go back and purchase Gift of Gold. Both are excellent!
