Part of the montclair jewel trilogy, this book is an example of the greatest romance author of all time. A.C and Viginia are 'friends', and as such they travel abroad. But things do not go as plan when they fall in love and then A.C wins a mysterious bracelet in a game of poker. Unmissable!! One of Krentz's greatest stories yet!!

Joy is wonderful, one of those comfy, gentle books that you'll read once, fall in love with, and from then on, slip into every year like a beloved pair of slippers. It isn't going to have you gasping on the edge of your seat like many other JAK books, and it's not all that long, being a reissue of one of her early Silhouette titles. But if you're one of those people (like me) who sometimes just want to sit back with a cup of coffee and a chocolate bikky and RELAX, forgetting about the traffic jam, and the laddered tights, and that-stupid-dog-next-door-that-won't-stop-barking, then this book is just the thing for you.

Joy
22 Jun 2000
By Katie Boyce
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Jayne Ann Krentz continues to produce powerhouse plots in her new novel Joy. Virginia had no plans to ever marry again. She seriously doubted that she would even get involved with another man after her disasterous marriage. Ryerson's first marriage didn't work out so well, and his most recent affair, with Virginia's younger sister, sizzled before the flame was even ignited. So when Virginia and Ryerson decide to attempt a relationship, things get pretty wacky. Virginia and Ryerson agree that they have all the time in the world, and so decide to take things slowly. After the first month though, Ryerson is wondering if he won't spontaneously combust before things get exciting. To further their raltionship, Ryerson books a little trip for them, to a nice tropical island. Not only does their relationship get further development, but Ryerson wins a gorgeous and old emerald braclet in a lucky game of cards. Unfortunately, the former owner of the braclet wasn't exactly the most truthful fellow, leaving Ryerson and Virginia in a dangerous little adventure. Ms. Krentz blends a wonderful mix of passion, adventure and humour to create an exotic tale of two people learning to trust love again. By the end, we all wish that we had Virgiunia's luck in men!

A gentler tale than usual.
19 Aug 2000
By L. S. Tucker
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Virginia Elizabeth Middlebrook's first marriage had been a short taste of hell, making her vow to never marry again. A.C. Ryerson had married too young and swore off love. When A.C. and Virginia first met, they knew thay could become friends. Soon, they overcame Virginia's fears and become lovers. Marriage, however, is another story entirely. Then A.C. wins a stunning emerald and diamond bracelet in a poker game, unleashing a series of suspicious accidents.
Another delightful tale by JAK. A.C. and Virginia are not as driven as some of Krentz's usual heroes and heroines. They are comfortable with each other from the first, only shying from committment. The legend behind the bracelet is intriguing. Wonder if there are other books about it?
