Hidden Talents

Caleb Ventress & Serenity Makepeace. Great characters. People that I would hang out with...if they were real :-)Caleb doesn't want to feel, because he has been hurt. Serenity is a strong woman, who feels, loves, and is a bit out of the ordinary. There are many twists and turns in their relationship, which is what gives us a reason to read the book, but they end up happy, together, and well. The secondary characters, those in Witts End, and Ventress Valley, are well put together and enhance the storyline.As with the majority of Jayne Ann Krentz/Amanda Quick books, the characters are off beat, the suspense is great, the romance is exceptional, and the story is worth your time.There is nothing like a Jayne Ann Krenz to sit down for a good read with. I especially like the fact that this work has an epiloge.Thanks, Ms. Krentz, for the book! Write more like this, please!

The characters who make up the small town of Witt's End are depicted lovingly and with great humor. Jayne Ann Krentz' forte is characterization. But never underestimate her way with plot, either. The murder mystery is gripping.

I truly enjoy Ms. Krentz's books, and Hidden Talents is one of my favorites. The character development is great, the chemistry between Serenity and Caleb is wonderful, and who can resist the quirky, off-beat inhabitants of Witt's End? Pick this one up and see if you can find a bottle of "Ole Hogwash" (a Witt's End product) to drink while you read. Enjoy!ps - If you enjoyed this one, be sure to try Absolutely Positively, Trust Me and Deep Waters. You won't be disappointed!

I have read every book Jayne Ann Krentz has ever written--several times--and this is one of her best. She does strange and unusual characters especially well, and this book abounds with REALLY strange ones. But they are all endearing, even the strangest of them turn out to have their strong points, and the characters grow and change over the course of the novel. This one will make you laugh. It may also make you cry--just a little. Definitely a keeper.
