Book

Dream Eyes (2013)

I've always really enjoyed Krentz's writing & this was no exception but I did feel it could have been better.

Book

Gambler's Woman (2007)

At the very beginning I couldn't stop thinking that I have already read this book, which is nearly impossible since I note every book I read meticulously.

Listened to this a while ago on audiobook-- don't remember it too distinctly, except that it was a light diversion for a car trip.

Book

Crystal Flame (1994)

This story had its good and bad points.

Book

Summer in Eclipse Bay (2002)

I listened to this as an unabridged audiobook and if it weren't for the fact that I was trapped in a car with no other form of entertainment to be found I more than likely would've given up on this one mid-way through.
