Boring!, 26 Jan 2001
By A Customer
This is definitely one of the more boring books by Ms Krentz. The characters are dull, and the heroin; Elizabeth Cabot seems like a weak minded woman and the hero, Jack Fairfax did not sound too intelligent either. This book is a real disapointment!

A let down for JAK, 29 Sep 2001
By A Customer
So far I have only read about half of this book. Very rarely would I stop a book halfway through but this book has been unable to draw me in. I have read (and re-read) many of JAK books and have found them to be very enjoyable. This book so far has been a let down. I hope it can redeem itself in the second half as I would hate to think that an author as talented as JAK would write a book that does not deserve a second reading,

enjoy tale from JAK, 17 Oct 2004
Soft Focus was a very enjoyable Single Title Romantic Suspense (meaning before Krentz and her publishers started doing the Trilogy releases - 1 good strong tale followed by two weaker ones). It was a very enjoyable read, but not Krentz at her best.
In Soft Focus, Elizabeth is an all business heroine (typical JAK!). She applies the same cost and profit in her business life to her romance life. So after a one night stand with Jack Fairfax, and Elizabeth discovers Jack deceived her, she wants to
cut her losses. Jack is not willing to let her do it, and uses their business contract to keep a leash on the spunky lady.
Jack owns Excalibur, a cutting edge technology firm. When he discovers there is sabotage going on that could put them both in the red financially, Elizabeth has to let Jack back into her life. If she helps Jack save Excalibur, she stands to make millions of dollars. Together they search for a missing scientist who made off with a new special crystal. Elizabeth and Jack follow the clues to a film festival and the fun begins, with Jack keeping an eye on winning Elizabeth back as well as saving his firm.
A very deft tale from a talented writer. Super use of Multi-POV (Point of View), the way all romances should be written!
