Maybe it was the audiobook narration but I had a tough time connecting with the characters. Still a good story but it wasn't as gripping for me as some of her other books. Some of it was predictable but other parts were surprising.

The tenth science fiction romance set on Harmony was another excellent book in the series. Molly Griffin is determined to find her sister who was lost in the alien tunnels underground. She was part of the Hollister Expedition. Only the navigator - Josh Knight - managed to make it out alive. But he is psi-burned and has disappeared after escaping from a psychiatric hospital.

Molly is an artist who tunes crystal but her adopted mothers run a detective agency. They manage to track Josh down to a creepy old mansion made of fireglass and filled with tuned mirrors outside a small town. The house is built on a hot zone and filled with psychic influences.

Molly shows up, determined to help him get over his psi-burn so that he can find her missing sister. He's cranky and irritable; she's stubborn and determined. It's a match made in Harmony heaven. Or it would be if Molly believed in matches. She's keeping secrets that she feels make her ineligible for the Covenant Marriage that most on Harmony eventually enter.

Since Josh's mental problems after the ill-fated Hollister Expedition mean that he was dropped from the matchmaking agency who was looking for a covenant marriage for him, he isn't all that concerned about a future marriage either. He's much more interested in restoring his ruined reputation.

Teaming up - and using Molly's psychic talents to heal Josh's - is the only way that both will be able to get what they want. Luckily, Molly's dust bunny Newton is glad to go along for the ride as long as she keeps supplying the Zing Chips!

This was another excellent romance between two people who feel that they are well outside the norms for their culture. Both have strong powers that they feel the need to conceal from everyone until they learn to trust each other enough to share.

I enjoyed the witty banter, the dust bunny, and the adventure.

I can always count on Krentz to serve a fabulous story with a sprinkle of mystery, suspense, and romance. I always love the characters with their quirks and social awkwardness and attraction. I eat these stories for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and midnight snack- yummy!

Great suspense with some romance I don't want to say too much until the book comes out. but I will say the writer rocks in this book. I really liked the way I felt like I knew the girls in this book. It pulled me into their town and the things that happened to them. After 18 years they come back together and the mystery unfolds. This was my first time reading anything from Jayne Krentz and I have to say, I LOVE LOVE LOVE her writing and her way of pulling you into a story.
