What is Your Favorite Jayne Ann Krentz book

morriss003 · 01-16-2012, 03:25 PM

Jayne Ann Krentz is one of my favorite writers. I just finished Copper Beach after starting yesterday afternoon and forcing myself to go to bed last night at 12:15 am. I got up and finished the book this morning.
I'm working on my website, and I plan to list my favorite authors. But what book should I list as her best?

The problem is I can't say. I like her books a lot, and I wouldn't be able to choose a favorite one.

I'm a big Jayne Ann Krentz fan. In fact, I can hardly read any other author after her.

I suggest you start the Arcane Novels:

1. Second Site (by Amanda Quick)
2. White Lies ( Jayne Ann Krentz)
3. Sizzle and Burn (Jayne Ann Krentz)
4. Third Circle (Amanda Quick)

etc. She's up to 12 for Arcane Society

Now she's started branching out to other Paranormal books in the line. Copper Beach is the 1st Dark Legacy novel, in April comes (from Amanda Quick) the Crystal Garden, a Ladies of Lantern Street novel.

Check out her Web site, www.jayneannkrentz.com

Be aware, her earlier books were "Man against Woman" and, imo, very antagonistic. Starting with the Eclipse Bay novels they got better.

(If you are new to her, she writes contemporary using Jayne Ann Krentz (her name), Historical fiction using Amanda Quick, and alternate location/realities ? using Jayne Castle (her maiden name).

I enjoy them all.

PS I just re-read the original post. I misread it as having just found Jayne Ann Krentz, versus being her favorite author. Sorry for the preaching above.

She really did have the He-Man fantasy down in her earlier stuff, but even that was often very enjoyable, and as she matured, she began to write more realistically about the relationship between men and women. I chalk it up to growing older and wiser and also the gradual change in our society. While I like the Arcane series, I'm a little tired of it. I like the newest stuff, but I admit that I wouldn't mind seeing one that had nothing to do with the paranormal.

I like her books well enough, but I don't know why she pretended that "Copper Beach" was a new series. It's all the same stuff in her Arcane Society, without actually referring to the Society.
