Search - Sweet Starfire

This is one of the first Jayne Ann Krentz books I ever read, more than 20 years ago. I picked it up not even knowing it was going to be a futuristic/paranormal romance. It was a keeper, and still holds up really well. The hero pilots his own spaceship (think Firefly) and the heroine hitches a ride to another planet. Krentz created an entire world, and it must have been a lot of work, because the details all mesh and make sense. Quite well written.

Sweet Starfire, as well as two other early futuristic romances penned by Krentz (Crystal Flame and Shields Lady), are precursors of the current spate of futuristic romances she is writing under the pseudonym, Jayne Castle. Quite frankly, I think these earlier works are a lot meatier than the newer books. The characters are a little more unique and individual and the plots more satisfying. Of the three, my favorite is Shield's Lady, although I enjoyed reading Sweet Starfire and Crystal Flame. I read all three back in the 90s and decided to reread them. Glad I did.

fast read

Great futuristic romance by Jayne Ann Krentz!
