Gift of Gold
3 Stars

After a chance encounter with the woman who can anchor his unstable psychic ability, Jonas Quarrell traces Verity Ames back to a small town in California and insinuates himself into her life. Soon Jonas and Verity's psychic connection evolves into something more, but their love and lives are put in danger when a threat from the past emerges.

While this book is clearly a product of its time (late 1980s), the kernels of Krentz's Arcane series are evident and it is a fun read overall.

Although sexy as all get-out, Jonas is a typical overbearing and patronizing 1980s hero determined to show the "little tyrant" who is really the boss. Verity attempts to assert her independence, but often comes across as obstinate rather than strong-willed, and her stubborness leads to several TSTL moments. Despite these issues, the chemistry between Jonas and Verity is excellent and their banter is entertaining.

Jonas's psychometry is a forerunner to the various psychic abilities showcased in the Arcane Society books, and it is interesting to see the how this theme has developed over the course of Krentz's writing.

The suspense plot is intriguing with some exciting moments at the end. That said, the fact that Caitlin Evenger gets away with manipulating Jonas and Verity is quite irritating. She clearly had no real remorse over the fact that Jonas could have gone insane and Verity might have been raped and/or killed.

All in all, a delightful romp into the past (pun intended), and I look forward to reading the follow up book. ( )

Just Ok. Neither too great nor too bad. ( )

Verity Ames runs the No Bull Cafe with firm hand, but she's finding that approach somewhat difficult with her new waiter/dishwasher. Jonas Quarrel might be exactly what Verity needs during working hours, but he's more interested in what happens off the clock. It's no accident he's in Verity's kitchen - and when Jonas's hidden talents are called on, if Verity can't find it in her heart to trust him, neither will survive.

Part one of a two book series, this is one of Krentz's best early books. Just enough supporting characters to be manageable, no overtly cute pets, a decent leavening with suspense and intrigue... toss with romance, and serve hot. ( )
