Serpent in Paradise

By: Jayne Ann Krentz

Narrated by: Amy McFadden

A girl walks into a bar.

When Amy Shannon enters The Serpent, a seedy island bar, she immediately catches the eye of Jase Lassiter. He knows she doesn't belong in his little hole in the wall, but he will do whatever it takes to keep her there.

love the location

not fond of female performing male voice, especially in love scenes. getting used to it.

old

Luckily I knew this was an old book rereleased, because the characters do not reflect current attitudes. I love Jayne Ann Krentz but I'll have to stick to more current books. Amy grated on my nerves so badly. 😟

Very Enjoyable

Can't help but love JAKrantz.
Narrator did a ver good job acting out the story.

Sex scenes are awefull

I hate when a girl bares her soul about being nervous to have sex because her dad and ex boyfriend were cheats and the ex was forceful and vindictive because of her choices. Then 10 minutes later the beau is forcing himself on her in a way that supposed to sound like they are falling love but really he’s thinking to himself “she didn’t want this but I got her here!!” Stop making rape sound like it’s love. Let the heroine make own choices and not be forced into fake love.
Normally I love Jayne Ann krantz’s books but this one makes me too sick to finish it.

Wow hv times changed!

Narration was very good. Story is dated but that’s to be expected as the book was first published in 1983 as a Harlequin-type book. I just cringed at some of the romance relationship imagery that today people would not be okay with. It’s really amazing how far women have come and how far we still have to go.
