Return to Harmony--where nothing is as it seems. Life is complicated for Lydia Smith. She's working at a tacky, third-rate museum, Shrimpton's House of Ancient Horrors, trying to salvage her career in... This description may be from another edition of this product.
I wish there was a higher rating than 5. Nobody does it better. If you read "After Dark" you probably enjoyed it even more. The sense of a fully fleshed out world is awesome. The sexual tension between Lydia and Emmett is great. I love the way each worries about the feelings of the other. The dance of romance is Jayne at her best. From Lydia's determination to protect Emmett, to his worries about her feelings for ghost-hunters, we are constantly waiting for the explosions to begin. However, Jayne Castle, knows what we want. I just loved the Restoration Ball and The DRESS. Two hearts wanting the same thing but scared to reach out too quickly. The suspense and stirring adventure are not overshadowed by the romance, and the thrilling conclusion is wonderfully enhanced by Fuzz and a number of unusual and fasinating characters. Could not put it down. I have already reread it 4 times. (UNBELIEVABLE for me.) I usually don't like to read a book that continues a relationship, but this one is perfect. This is a keeper. And be sure to get "After Dark" also.
More Harmony books...PLEASE!!

Jayne Ann has been doing trilogies - cranking out three books for a set of characters, and outside her Eclipse Bay, the first one is so good, second two suck! REALLY. However, it's with her Harmony books Jayne Ann really returns to her top form. They are fresh, funny and show she still have the magic. So STOP WASTING TIME ON JUNK and write were you show the same spark of romance and delight in the genre.PLEASE. These characters were so warm, real, sexy and loving. What you other books are missing.
JAK is in top form

I loved this sequel to After Dark - good romance (in other words, some tension and some humor), intriguing mystery, and interesting secondary characters (e.g. her pet) all set in a believable otherworld. Fans of Jayne Anne Krentz writing as Jayne Castle should not be disappointed.
Jayne, Write More Harnony Books, Please

This was another fun and involved look into the world of Harmony. Lydia Smith stumbles on another murder early in the book and Emmett London finds her soon after, at the murder site once again. It reads more like a chap book than a stand alone novel, so if you haven't read again 'After Dark'. I'd recommend reading it first.
great fun!

I loved the book that came before this AFTER DARK, but I had nearly forgotten about it since it was written nearly 4 years ago. So when I read this, I was delighted to find it was a continuation to the story.It's funny, is Jayne Anne Krentz are her top form and I hope this means there will be more Harmony books coming!
