Synopsis
In thirty-three New York Times best-sellers, she has enthralled millions of readers, whether she is romancing the past as Amanda Quick, the present as Jayne Ann Krentz, or the future as Jayne Castle. Now enjoy two of her classic Lost Colony novels, collected for the first time in one volume, complete, unabridged, and fabulously entertaining to read.
Sweet Starfire: She is Cidra, an ethereal beauty, sheltered by a spiritual race but belonging to another people. He is Teague Severance, a rugged adventurer used to taking and getting what he wants. Side by side on a dangerous quest, they will soar from the shimmering towers of Cidra's home city, to mining towns of the galaxy's outback, to the deadly jungles of the planet Renaissance. It is their fate to battle both human and alien danger -- and each other. For Severance will awaken Cidra's untamed heritage...and the stirrings of a dark passion.
Crystal Flame: A woman of glittering eyes and cool, celestial bearing, she is Kalena, the last survivor of a proud heritage. Now, disguised as an innocent country girl, she is on a deadly secret mission -- to destroy her family's enemy at any cost. Only one man can stop her, the soldier they call the Fire Whip, the stranger commanded to tame her. In their world of fire and ice, light and dark, and terrible, clashing forces, only their union will have the power to burn through the growing darkness that threatens their world.

November 21, 2007: SWEET STARFIRE is a novel that was anything but sweet. I was waiting for Cidra to put Teague in his place but, from beginning to end, she just let him get his way for everything with little or no argument whatsoever. This story was extremely irritating, especially for one that is intolerant of a male that speaks to their lover as if they were a simpleton or an infant incapable of making decisions for herself. This makes me very hesitant to read Crystal Flame.------------------------------- ------------------------------- ------------------------------- CRYSTAL FLAME-- I should have followed my first instinct and refrained from reading the second story from this 2-in-1 book. More of the same garbage is inflicting on the reader, as far as the aggravating male and subservient female characters are concerned. I was so relieved when this story ended, as it was riddled with excessive prose. Due to the overwhelming amount of male chauvinism present in this story, I continuously revisited the cover to make sure a female author wrote the book. Women that chose to enter into marriage in this drivel were expected to wear dog collars to symbolize their matrimony, in lieu of the traditional marriage band that both men and women now wear to demonstrate their unity and commitment to one another. The marriage collar 'to which the male holds the key' seems to be making a statement as blatant and vulgar as professing, ?Yes, indeed, I am his b**ch.?Absolutely, vile. I am surprised I got through it, barely. This author has officially weaned me off her books for good.
