Flash

I really loved this story. Jayne Ann Krentz has such a playful style and her characters have the greatest quirks and wit. Lots of fun.

I saw a lot of reviews screaming about how unoriginal this was...earth to readers....lol....JAK is NOT original. She is formula, but it is a formula we so enjoy. All her males are deceptive mild on outside, very controled inside; they are Alpha Males underneath and don't you think otherwise. They are green, grey or amber eyed. She is not that pretty, but very vivacious, a forceful personality and is used to getting her own way. Generally, she has been hurt, maybe he has been hurt or both, and one side of their family - close kissing cousins of the Adams Family - will drive them nuts. Every book has their share of quirky characters, and lots of rapier repartee, mostly centre around a mystery that forces the leads together.There!! I just reviewed EVERY JAK book every written...however, have you ever looked at Nora Roberts?? You are talking formula again. Lets face it - out side of Maggie Davis with her Out of the Blue and Last Male Virgin - most stories have already been written dozens of times. It is what the writer DOES with the story. JAK does very well. Just we sort of know her too well so the razzle-dazzle is a bit expected, so we are let down. When someone yells BOO! you jump the first time. 5th time it's the same fightful BOO!, but you go yeah yeah...I really enjoyed Flash. Not as much as Wildest Hearts, Deep Waters or Absolutely, Positively, but I really enjoyed it.Olivia Chantry is a messy bessy in the desk department, but she is a one woman dynamo in her business Light Fantastic. The Chantry family (the pains in the bums this go around) expected her to inherit and run her uncle's business Glow, Inc. when he dies. Instead, he was in money troubles and sold the 51% of the stock to Jasper Sloan. Naturally, they are at loggerheads about how to run the business, with Olivia not likely she is 49% owner, but they have little time to iron this out, before a blackmailer strikes. They are forced to reveal all to each other and work together to stop the blackmailer.Formula, formula, formula...JAK trademark all the way...but this dog and and pony show is one well polished rendition....

I read the bad reviews this book has gotten, but they're wrong. This was a great book. The characters are unforgetable and the romance was great. Jasper and Olivia were two very unforgetable people, and the situations they find themselves in will make you laugh throughout the book.

Jayne Ann Krentz is one of those rare writers who always entertains. And she manages to create a fresh, romantic, and mysterious story every time. FLASH is great, comfort brain food that bites back each time the reader dares to relax. Yet again Ms. Krentz has produced a book you can't read fast enough, although you wish it didn't have to end.

In FLASH, Krentz once again creates characters her fans love to read about. Olivia & Jasper are made for one another.
