Jayne Ann Krentz has so many novels.
She has been writing since 1979 and a prolific writer she is too.
I thought it might be fun to do a top 10 of my favorite novels from her.
I'm taking into account all her pen names such as Jayne Castle and Amanda Quick while making this list.
1.
Gift of Gold 2.
Gift of Fire 3.
Shield's Lady 4.
Sweet Starfire 5.
Zinnia 6.
Orchid 7.
Amaryllis 8.
Whirlwind Courtship 9.
Silver Linings 10.
Wildest Hearts One and two in my list are connecting stories.
Gift of Gold and Gift of Fire are both my favorite books from Jayne Ann Krentz.
Jonas Quarrel and Verity Ames, paranormal, mystery and a bit of history thrown in.
These books have it all! Shield's Lady, third on my list, is a futuristic/fantasy world.
Sweet Starfire another futuristic/fantasy world.
Five, six and seven are all part of a trilogy.
The reading order is Amaryllis, Zinnia and Orchid.
But don't need to be read in any particular order.
Set in futuristic/fantasy world of the Curtain.
Jayne Castle has two series relating to the Curtain, one set in St Helens and one in Harmony.
These are St Helens books and, I think, much better than the Harmony ones.
Eight, Whirlwind Courtship may surprise some in being top ten.
But I have a real soft spot for it.
Harlan is so over the top in his alpha male role, but sweet at the same time.
This one is a contemporary, first published in 1979 under the name Jayne Taylor.
Nine and ten are both contemporaries.
Set in the business world, with great characters.
Love these books.
That's my top ten list of Jayne Ann Krentz books, the last couple were the hardest, I could have really thrown a blanket over quite a few of them.
They are all her earlier works, but books I go back to time and again for re-reads.
