[.ca] After Glow (ISBN 1587247291)

Welcome back Jayne!!!:
I have been so disappointed in nearly the last 1/2 dozen books from this author. Seems like in courting the mainstream sales she snubbed her nose at Romance and the fans who adored her. The books were so FLAT. But ZOWEY!!!!! This book is right on target. A (FINALLY) sequal to After Dark (which I loved, just felt unfinished because it WAS!). I got out After Dark and read it back to back with After Glow and POW SIZZLE CRACKLE...romance is back, sexy and so LOVING!!!! MORE MORE Harmony tales, PLEASE!!!

One of the Best:
I wish there was a higher rating than 5. Nobody does it better. If you read "After Dark" you'll probably enjoyed it even more. The sense of a fully fleshed out world is awesome. The sexual tension between Lydia and Emmett is great. I love the way each worries about the feelings of the other. The dance of romance is Jayne at her best. From Lydia's determination to protect Emmett, to his worries about her feelings for ghost-hunters, we are constantly waiting for the explosions to begin. However, Jayne Castle, knows what we want. I just loved the Restoration Ball and The DRESS. Two hearts wanting the same thing but scared to reach out too quickly. The suspense and stirring adventure are not overshadowed by the romance, and the thrilling conclusion is wonderfully enhanced by Fuzz and a number of unusual and fasinating characters. Could not put it down. I have already reread it 4 times. (UNBELIEVABLE for me.) I usually don't like to read a book that continues a relationship, but this one is perfect. This is a keeper. And be sure to get "After Dark" also.

Oh what a tangle . .:
I used to love all the different books written by this author, whether she was writing as Amanda Quick, Jayne Anne Krentz or Jayne Castle. Now they are all so dull - almost over-detailed. This book is no different. While the premis of "para-psychology" could have been interesting the language developed by the author to describe the different types of psychics is confusing and over-used. I found myself skipping huge chunks of this book just to get to the point of the conversation. Don't waste your money -borrow it if you are a die hard fan or wait for it at the local library. I only gave it one star because her heros are usually the strong, silent type - a personal favorite of mine!

More Harmony books...PLEASE!!:
Jayne Ann has been doing trilogies - cranking out three books for a set of characters, and outside her Eclipse Bay, the first one is so good, second two suck! REALLY. However, it's with her Harmony books Jayne Ann really returns to her top form. They are fresh, funny and show she still have the magic. So STOP WASTING TIME ON JUNK and write were you show the same spark of romance and delight in the genre. PLEASE. These characters were so warm, real, sexy and loving. What you other books are missing.

Love this world:
Can't tell you how much I enjoy my adventures in this other world with Jayne Castle. These are my fav of her series and I just love how they revisit familiar places. This one was a tad slower than her others, but still a great read.
