DESCRIPTION:
"Fun Early Krentz Futuristic Book" according to J. Jones. I got Jayne Ann Krentz's newsletter and saw where Shield's Lady was offered as an ebook for 1.99. I had read the other two Lost Colony books Sweet Starfire and Crystal Flame. I even have a combined hardcopy of the two books but had never read Shield's Lady so I purchased and read. All three were written in the 1980's so are early example's of Krentz's futuristic writing. For me they are not as good as the St. Helen's books and those are not as good as the Harmony/Ghost Hunter books. That said they are worth reading and do let you see Krentz's progression as a writer.Shield's Lady was the last of the Lost Colony series a. One of My Favorites Sheila M SHIELD'S LADY was first published in the 1980s under the pseudonym of Amanda Glass. I first read it then and the unique setting, story and characters appealed to me then and I found the book unforgettable. SHIELD'S LADY is a sci-fi futuristic romance set on the planet of Windarra. The planet inhabitants are settlers from earth who were stranded. The settlers were unintentionally divided during the landing between the east and the west where their societies developed separately. The east contained the business and intellectuals Alf the west consisted of the artists and craftsmen. It had been intended that the two groups . Typical Read from Jayne Ann Krentz bibliophile2011 Sheild's Lady was your average type of story that you get from Jayne Ann Krentz (or Amanda Quick, Jayne Castle) that was set in an unusual sci-fi universe. Since this was one of her earlier books I was hoping for something fresh and different. The plot was fairly decent, I can always stretch my imagination, but unfortunately I found the characters to be similar to a lot of other characters from other books- I have read about 15-20 from this author: Our girl does not fit in conventional society, very smart, fiesty, bold, argumentative, and atypically pretty. Our guy also does not fit in conventional society, take-charge,
Along the way, they discover unexpected possibilities in their bonding, even as their lives are threatened with deadly peril. --Lois Faye Dyer. Unfamiliar with the West sector's Shield society, Sariana can't even guess what mating with Gryph will do to her life--she only knows he stirs a depth of passion in her that she can't deny. The multitalented Krentz flexes her fantasy muscles in this absorbing story of love on a planet far, far away. Unfortunately for Sariana's peace of mind, her practical plan turns shaky when she gazes into the fierce eyes of the Shield mercenary Gryph Chassyn, and realizes that she may have bitten off more than she can chew. As expected from Krentz, the fast-paced story is expertly plotted with superb sexual tension in all the right places
But from the moment they met, fate made them one. Was it their destiny to be bound to a powerful force that both captivated and frightened them? When Sariana and Gryph join forces in a dangerous quest to save their world, their love is tested to its limits - sweeping them into undreamed realms of shimmering, shattering ecstasy. "Soar upon the wings of imagination with the author as she takes us on a fabulous romantic quest to a faraway time on a faraway world." - Romantic Times. Gryph was an intense mercenary respected and feared throughout the opulent cities and savage frontiers of the West. Sariana was a cool, confident business-woman, an outcast from the East determined to regain her rightful status
She has written contemporary romantic suspense novels under that name, as well as futuristic and historical romance novels under the pseudonyms Jayne Castle and Amanda Quick, respectively. She lives in Seattle. Jayne Ann Krentz is the author of fifty New York Times bestsellers.
