From Amazon.com

Elizabeth Lowell's second book in her trilogy featuring the internationally renowned Donovan family pairs youngest brother Kyle, who featured prominently in the previous book Amber Beach, with the illegitimate daughter of a Chinese trading dynasty. Lianne Blakely accepts that she'll never be openly acknowledged as Johnny Tang's daughter, but her expertise in handling the family's extensive jade collection has earned their respect and leads to her realization that someone has substituted inferior replicas for several priceless pieces. Kyle, meanwhile, has been ordered by big brother Archer to investigate Lianne's possible involvement in the sale of jade treasures that may have been stolen from China. With international relations and leadership within the Tang family at stake, Lianne joins Kyle's effort to find the thief and elude some nasty characters, despite the equally dangerous, explosive passion the couple shares. Hot love scenes, relentless suspense, and appearances by the noisy and affectionate Donovan clan keep the reader entertained. --Ellen Edwards --Ce texte provient de la Hardcover édition.


From Library Journal

Jade Island is book two of Lowell's new Donovan series, focusing on jade's value to Chinese culture. Lianne Blakely is a jade expert and the illegitimate daughter of an influential Chinese family. Kyle Donovan, of Donovan International, owes the U.S. government a small favor. Lianne and Kyle are drawn together like moths to flames. Unfortunately, Laural Merlington lacks the vocal range required to create noticeably different voices for Lianne and Kyle. She attempts to compensate by using cadence to create marked speech patterns but is unable to effectively sustain this approach. As a result, the story requires very careful attention to keep track of the dialog. Despite the flaws, larger fiction collections should purchase as Lowell is on the best seller fast track. Smaller collections should purchase for demand.?Jodi L. Israel, Jamaica Plain, MA

5.0étoiles sur 5 One of my all-time favorite romances!, Mai 23 2004
Par K. Schultz (San Diego, California United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Jade Island Mm (Mass Market Paperback)
Loved this book. Loved the jade and the Chinese cultural issues and the Donovan family! Maybe the romance got less play then in your average romance novel, but the crime caper was great and Kyle and Lianne were wonderful! Both smart, funny, sexy people. Much rounder characters than typical and great banter. The romance scenes were also quite hot.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Action, Romance and a Double Cross or Two, Fév 4 2004
Par Ruthie Ramirez (San Diego) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Jade Island Mm (Mass Market Paperback)
Archer Donovan, head of the Donovan clan, asks brother Kyle to get close to Lianne Blakely, the illegitimate daughter of Johnny Tang and his American mistress, because he believes priceless Chinese jade artifacts have been stolen and he thinks the Tang family consortium, headed by Wen Zhi Tang, who has a lifelong obsession with jade, might have something to do with it.

Lianne is as passionate about jade as Wen and is a respected Jade expert, but much to her chagrin she's not accepted by the Tangs as a full fledged family member. However, when they need an expert to value the jade they want to buy, it's her they call.

In a nice twist her father, Johnny Tang, has asked her to get close to Kyle and while Kyle and Lianne are getting to know each other, they discover that priceless jade has been taken from the Tang vault and replaced with inferior pieces.

Lianne is a prime suspect because she is one of the few people who go into the vault on a regular basis. Then she's outright accused of stealing the jade and now she and Kyle, who now have a thing for each other, have to find the real thief or she may go to prison.

This is the second book in Ms. Lowell's series about the Donovan Clan and every bit as good as the first. There is lots of action, suspense, a double cross here and there and romance too. A very good book.

5.0étoiles sur 5 amazed, Sep 2 2003
This review is from: Jade Island Mm (Mass Market Paperback)
well i had read elizabeth lowells book cry wolf because my mother dared me to. ever since then i have been reading every book of elizabeths that my library has. i picked up this book about 2 books after i read mindnight ruby bayoue. even thought i knew what the end would be like it was a fun and exciting book. i knew the people and gained an even deeper emotional and personal impretion of them. this by far has to be the best book of the series so far.

3.0étoiles sur 5 Disappointing!
Normally, I very much enjoy Ms. Lowell's books. This one, however, was boring. I just couldn't get into the story. No depth to relationship between Lianne and Kyle.
