About this listen
Olivia Chantry may keep her desk in disarray, but she's a dynamo when it comes to business; her Seattle-based company - Light Fantastic - organizes dazzling events that create the flash her clients need to promote their products and causes. Her success almost makes up for a marriage that ended in disaster.
When Olivia inherits a large portion of her uncle's high-tech lighting firm, she butts heads with the co-owner - Jasper Sloan - a venture capitalist with all his ducks in a row. Sparkling with Jayne Ann Krentz's irresistible blend of sassy wit and sheer suspense, Flash explodes into passionate pyrotechnics as a beautifully mismatched pair finds that the bottom line isn't making it in the marketplace - it's the merger of hearts.

Story
Alexa Chambers has a flair for style, an eye for art - and a reputation in tatters. An expert in Art Deco, she blew the whistle on an employer who was selling fakes to wealthy clients. Her payoff? No job and no prospects. But gutsy, energetic Alexa has no intention of sitting still. She's ready to take risks to rebuild her career... and she secretly consults on an exquisite deco collection being installed at the new Avalon Resorts. Her scheme might just work - if she can steer clear of the resort's owner, the enigmatic and possibly dangerous J. L. Trask.

From its first moments, Hunter takes you on a nonstop thrill ride: from the top floor of the CIA, to the marbled corridors of Capitol Hill...from the posh hotels of downtown Washington, to the city's mean, violent streets. It introduces a colorful new hero for our time - and a dazzling heroine every bit his equal. A spy mystery...a crime thriller...a passionate romance: Hunter is a genre-bending novel unlike any you've read. Deviously plotted, filled with vivid characters, and propelled at a breakneck pace.

An 0ldie/1998 & Temporary Escape from World Issues
I’ve read FLASH before; this was my 1st time with the audio (which was okay but not great). I read a variety of genres and like reading lighter fiction between my more intense reads. FLASH fit the bill. It’s not deep (by any means) but is perfect for pulling me out of a funk or a book hangover. I enjoy Krentz novels & her character type - solid, loyal, independent, ethical, focused & the men appreciate spunky women. FLASH is one of her “Oldie” novels (pub 1998) - simple romance, light suspense & humor. One I’ll read again.

good Krentz story
What did you like best about Flash? What did you like least?
light hearted spirit of our heroine
Have you listened to any of Kate Fleming’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
This is the late great Ms Anna Fields, who does Susan E. Phillips reads. She could read a phone book
What would have made this romance irresistible?
you have to be a fan of Krentz, so this was good

Narration adds another enjoyable dimension to the novel
At first I was not sure about the voice used by the narrator for Jasper, the hero. However it grew on me with each passing chapter. It changed my image of Jasper from the one I had from reading the novel to a different one, one that made listening to the novel this time, more enjoyable. It's a good voice for the deadpan jokes Jasper makes. I ended up really enjoying this narration.
The heroine voice did not sound like a teenage girl. It sounded like an adult woman, another positive. The hero voice ended up being perfect for Jasper's character who is definitely well over 30 years old. So because this narration increased my enjoyment of a book that I had only read as text before ( and enjoyed it), I decided it was worthy of a separate review.
I have to read less and listen more due to strange retinal problems, one of which has no cure at this time (a political plug for others to support and vote for candidates who support increased federal grants for medical research instead of the current Scrooge-like Congress which has cut federal medical research to almost non existence). Due to my strange incurable medical retina problem, I am becoming a discriminating Audible buyer and listener.

Tripping the Light Fantastic in Seattle
I enjoyed this stand-alone romantic suspense, set in contemporary Seattle. I first read it years ago. Now I've listened to it, narrated by Kate Fleming (aka Anna Fields). She's got a broad vocal range and portrays men well. Sadly, she passed on in 2006.
The POV is 3rd person, switching from hero to heroine, and occasionally to some mysterious chess player. Contents include a few sex scenes, a little violence, minimal swearing, minimal religious profanity, and no crude terms for female anatomy. Suspense includes murder, blackmail, etc.
Why do I read books by JAK?? It's typically not for the suspense, even though that is usually fairly interesting. The main reason I come back to this formulaic author is this: She writes about honorable men who are deeply alone. Misunderstood, misjudged, unwanted, and/or taken for granted. Whatever. I feel for these guys, even though they are tough, shrewd, sexy, and rich. I like them because -- true heroes -- they keep on doing the right thing, without fanfare, despite public opinion. I like the heroines, too. Krentz sells me on their HEA. It's heartwarming and satisfying, knowing the couple is going to take care of each other and contribute to the well-being of others.
Quibbles with this story: Some trivial dialogue did get a little wordy at times in audio format, where I cannot skim. The chess player's POV was sporadic and felt like a poor fit. Also, the big bad villain is a stretch.
The story begins with two prologues, running along parallel lines. In the first prologue, set 8 years in the past, the hero (Jasper Sloan) is burning some mysterious documents while tending to his newly adopted nephews, Kirby (age 10) and Paul (age12). Jasper's wife left him a year ago, when the boys moved in, after their father died. Their father was named Fletcher Sloan, Jasper's step-brother.
In the second prologue, set 3 years in the past, Olivia Chantry is also burning mysterious documents. Her artistic husband Logan Dane just died (gored, running with the bulls, haha! ). Olivia's cousin Nina and Logan's family blames her for driving him to it, by starting divorce proceedings. (His family includes Sean Dane, etc.).
Chapter One: Fast forward to the present, in Seattle, where young Kirby and Paul (now in college) think that Uncle Jasper is off his venture-capitalist game, and fast approaching a midlife crisis. "Take a vacation!" they insist.
Meanwhile, Olivia runs an event company called Light Fantastic. Using special lighting effects, she stages parties, conventions, trade-shows, etc. Her Uncle Rolly owns a lighting company called Glow. She uses his lighting equipment at her events, so it's a partnership. Jasper -- a venture capitalist -- is the money man, funding Glow.
Then Uncle Rolly dies (at the beginning of the book) and everything changes at Glow and Light Fantastic, because Jasper owns 51%, controlling interest.
Jasper is orderly, organized, and logical. Conservative. Reserved. Olivia is his polar opposite. He's fascinated and bedazzled, but can they work together at Glow? Jasper makes it clear that he's in charge, but Olivia resists. She worries that Jasper will be hard on her Chantry relatives who work at Glow (Aunt Rose, etc).

Aunt Zara works for Olivia at Light Fantastic. Aunt Rose works for Jasper at Glow.

Great read!
Fantastic narration. Voices were consistent. Great story. I have the paper version of this story and the narrator reads it exactly the way I do in my head. Overall well done.

Poor Narrator
The reader made the male character sound old and lugubrious. She spoke too slowly for this character. A man reading would have been better.
