As always anything from Jayne Castle, especially her
futuristic world of Harmony is a completely attention
engrossing session. ILLUSION TOWN takes us into the glitz
and glamour of this world's equivalent of our Las Vegas,
where dreamlight expert and a crystal mining engineer find
happily ever after. Eventually.
Elias Coopersmith and Hannah West finally go on a date
after dealing on line and having developed a nice repartee
with one another only to wake up in a cheap motel with
little memory of the night before. It slowly comes back in
bits and pieces especially when Elias finds a marriage
certificate in his pocket. Bikers, running through the
alien tunnels, using too much energy and getting ready to
crash ... and that's just the start of the strange night
that explains the M.C. (marriage of convenience).
ILLUSION TOWN is a mesmerizing, fun and fascinating read.
As this couple searches for answers Elias develops a real
feel for the Dark Zone (aka DZ), Hannah's little part of
the world, its people and the family feel that enfolds
them all. He's hopeful that the family feelings will extend
to him as he finds he likes being part of Hannah and her
world. Hannah has her issues as she was abandoned to her
aunts as an infant and her "talent" is one that is
considered unstable leaving the person fragile and
dangerous. Working with Elias soon shows that not to be the
case, for no one is tougher than Hannah especially when it
comes to those she cares about. Oh ... my I almost forgot
about our little dustbunny buddy, Virgil, and anyone who is
a fan of these books knows that the dustbunny is an
important member of the family.
There are a lot of very
interesting supporting characters, some you will love and
others you will feel less friendly toward. Author Jayne
Castle (also known as Jayne Ann Krentz) spins her
characters in ways that give you an immediate feeling
toward them, even going so far as to give her readers the
chance to feel sympathetic, until she throws out the final
scenes showing the true bad guys. If you want a sexy and
strong hero, loving and determined heroine, a sense of
danger and determination to protect, then this world is the
world you want to be a part of. For a special treat get
your hands on ILLUSION TOWN, sit back, grab a cup of tea or
glass of wine, and get ready because as they say "in
ILLUSION TOWN, the thrills are real."
A new adventure begins on Harmony… With its opulent casinos and hotels,
the desert city of Illusion Town is totally unique—and will
take you on a thrill ride you’ll never forget.
Hannah West isn’t the first woman to wake up in Illusion
Town married to a man she barely knows, but she has no
memory of the ceremony at all. For that matter, neither does
Elias Coppersmith, her new husband. All either can remember
is that they were on the run…
With Hannah’s dubious background and shaky para-psych
profile, she could have done much worse. The coolly
competent mining heir arouses her curiosity—as well as other
parts of her mind and body. And even her dust bunny likes him.
But a honeymoon spent retracing their footsteps leads Hannah
and Elias into the twisting underground catacombs, where
secrets from both their pasts will come to light—and where
the energy of their clashing auras will grow hot enough to burn…
