I've read quite a few of Jayne Ann Krentz's books but "The Ties that bind" was rather disappointing. The characters lack depth, the lead female is thoroughly naive and stupid, and the lead male character, Garth, is an overbearing, manipulating, pompous ass that I would have chucked out of my door at the first opportunity! Why a woman would put up with treatment like that is beyond me, and I don't think Ms Krentz should promote marriage to such a type of man as the wife is bound to get frustrated in due course.

GRRRRRRRRR Another reprint!!!!!!!
8 July 2002
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Okay, I am getting a wee bit tired of these flood of JAK series romances given a new cover and charged big book price. I feel like this is a game of fleece the sucker!!
I got this book only to find I had it sitting on my shelf under Harlequin Temptation label at a [cheap] price!!! Reprint them fine, but give the reader a decent price instead of presenting it like its a new work.
The book is dated. JAK makes it readable, but I really did not care for the male lead. Keep the little woman as a weekend thing because he could protect her from his world of big business mentality, just left me cold. I am sorry, romance means sharing - the good and the bad, so this idea of him trying to shove her into a little hole and keep the world away, just was too dated.
I love JAK, but this flood of little book series romances that are very dated being repackaged for higher price really is leaving a bad taste in my mouth. They reprinted some of her Stephanie James ones, but gave you a decent price. That is how it should be done.

"The Ties that Bind"
29 July 2002
Format:Mass Market Paperback
ANOTHER REPRINT! 1986!!! A good story in 1986, but soooo dated in 2002. Ms. Krentz is a great author and I read just about everything she writes.
From now on, I'll be sure to check the copyright page, I'm not going to get "taken" again with a reprint!!
I'll save my book dollars for the new releases!! My rating is not for the story or Ms. Krentz's writing ability....my rating is for the fact the book was first issued 16 YEARS AGO!!! I'll check with my local used book store for the "oldies."

Just okay.....
15 May 2003
Format:Mass Market Paperback
'The Ties That Bind' was ... just ok. Not what I've come to expect from JAK. Of course I didn't know until I was halfway thru that it is a reprint of a 1986 Harlequin Temptation. I guess JAK has just grown alot in her writing since then. This was a pretty vintage JAK (which I usually absolutely love) - big business man meets & falls for artsy-craftsy small town girl. Unfortunately, the characters weren't very well developed & therefore it was pretty easy to not fall for our hero all that much. In fact, he ruffled my feathers more than once. Not the first recommendation I'd have for a JAK book.
