I have a long list of authors that I automatically buy. I also have a shorter list of authors that I watch release dates carefully and buy as soon as their books become available. I have a very short list of authors that I have convinced myself that I cannot wait for paperbacks or the library or any other delay and must buy the book as soon as it becomes available, even if it's in hardback (on the beloved Nook. And as I don't love this cover as much as I enjoyed the book, I bless the Nook all over again. The cover's way too provocative for the story, but it is romance so it can slide).
Jayne Ann Krentz is one on the short short list. I started reading Amanda Quick many, many, many years ago in my nothing-but-historicals-phase and loved her books. Then I found Jayne Ann Krentz, the woman behind it all, and her present-day titles. And even wondered into Jayne Castle's future even though I would have told you I don't like books set in the future. I've gotten over that.
Dangerous men and capable women whose meetings flare in both anger and passion...what's not to like? Neither hero nor heroine are perfectly lovely, perfectly mannered, or the catch of the season. As one of those types myself, I love to see love work out.
Quicksilver is the latest Arcane Society novel, the story of a Sweetwater and the glass reader who will save him. There's a little mystery, a little fantastical psychic power, and a lot of great dialogue and fabulous interaction between a strong woman and a man who wants nothing more than to have her...the trademarks of the Jayne Ann Krentz novel. I gobbled it up quickly and then was left searching for a suitable replacement. I need to check the release of the next in the Arcane series...
