"Jayne Ann Krentz at her very best"
After escaping from a mental institution and proving her
sanity to the in-laws who committed her, Zoe is happy that
she and private detective Ethan Thax discovered who really
killed her husband. Both Zoe and Ethan decide to give
their marriage of convenience a chance to become something
deeper as they settle into domestic tranquility in
Whispering Springs, Arizona. Zoe's peace of mind suffers a severe setback when she
senses some disturbed psychic energy, the kind that she
felt in the mental institution. While Zoe worries that
she might be going crazy, her friend Arcadia who also
lives in Whispering Springs finds herself in danger from
the husband who once tried to kill her. She has something
he wants and Grant will use any means to retrieve it. He
muddles the works by making it look like Ethan is the
target and if they don't discover the truth soon Arcadia
will find herself in deadly danger. TRUTH OR DARE is Jayne Ann Krentz at her very best. Her
quirky characters include a Feng Shui psychic interior
decorator, a body guard that looks like a skeleton and two
cute children who play matchmaker for their mother. They
make this work of romantic suspense a delightful reading
experience. There are three different couples and several
sub-plots that lead into the main storyline that adds a
sense of family to what is essentially an action oriented
tale. Ms Krentz's talent continues to grow and change in
amazing ways that will please fans of this talented author. Harriet Klausner

But even more uncanny is her sense of what's going on under
the surface, the secrets a house can hold.

space. She's more worried about what's going on in her own
house in Whispering Springs, Arizona, where she lives with
her new husband, private investigator Ethan Truax. After a
whirlwind courtship, and a dangerous adventure, they've
gambled on commitment, hoping that their powerful
attraction can help them learn to live together despite
their utterly opposite personalities.
But newlywed life is suddenly interrupted when a shadowy
figure from Zoe's past shows up in Whispering Springs, and
her closest friend is put at terrible risk. For Zoe and
Arcadia Ames share a shocking secret. And as they seek to
protect the truth, they must join together, and with
Ethan's help, accept a very dangerous dare.
