4.0 out of 5 stars Romance or non-fiction, Jayne Ann Krentz provides a fun read, 24 Nov 1997

By A Customer

I came across this book shortly after discovering Jayne Ann Krentz/Amanda Quick. Through a collection of generally well written essays, I found that I wasn't alone in my enjoyment of the genre, nor alone in my reasons. I also had a whole new list of aliases, and other authors to look up! And I gained new respect for Ms. Krentz literary ability. Even friends who don't read romances, enjoyed this book of essays.
