True Colors

By: Jayne Ann Krentz

Narrated by: Susie Berneis

For two months, Jamie Garland had fallen in love... with a lie. Cade Santerre was every woman's fantasy - until the mask came off in a scandal that left Jamie shattered.

Cade had pretended to be someone he wasn't. Worse, he'd used her in his elaborate attempt to catch a man he believed was a crook and a swindler. Though Cade's suspect had escaped, Cade was still around - raw, masculine, overwhelming. He had some unfinished business with the man who had conned his innocent sister, and he needed Jamie's help. But Jamie had some unfinished business, as well: to find out if the man she'd fallen in love with really existed.

Predictable

Female character was weak. Male character bordered on abusive with his possessiveness. I love JAK, but didn’t like this book at all.

Nice and Short

My least favorite Krentz heroine. She came off as rather not too smart , not innocent. Still a good story.

TSTL h

Naive, obstinate, petulant, immature women masking it as ‘strength’ at the very risk of their own safety and life in some attempt at ‘self preservation’ seriously disappoint me. It’s possible to display inner strength without being impetuous.

I’m a huge JAK fan, but....

I struggled through the first half of the book, but had to stop. There wasn’t much of a storyline, aside from Jamie’s continuous, annoying, refusal to believe Cade didn’t betray her. I got so tired of it, I couldn’t listen to the rest. Additionally, the narrator did some of Cade’s voice okay, but the personal intimate conversations were stilted, a little sleazy, and actually made me cringe. I even checked to make sure I was reading JAK!

I’m going back to Smoke in Mirrors, Deep Waters, Absolutely, Positively, Family Man, etc. Those are prime JAK!
