About this listen

Zoe Luce is a successful interior designer in the Arizona town of Whispering Springs who's developed an unusual career specialty—helping recently divorced clients redesign their homes, to help them forget the past and start anew. But Zoe knows that some things can't be covered up with a coat of paint. And when she senses that one of her clients may be hiding a dark secret, she enlists PI Ethan Truax to find the truth.

Working together, they solve the mystery . . . and barely escape with their lives. But Ethan's exquisite detection skills are starting to backfire on Zoe: she never wanted to let him find out about her former life; she never wanted to reveal her powerful, inexplicable gift for sensing the history hidden within a house's walls; she never wanted him to know that "Zoe Luce" doesn't really exist. She never wanted to fall in love with him.

Now, no matter how much she resists, Ethan may be her only hope—because the people she's been running from have found her. And just when Zoe dares to dream of a normal life and a future with the man she loves, her own past starts to shadow her every step—and threatens to take her back into a nightmare.

Zoe Luce is an interior designer who requests the assistance of private investigator Ethan Truax when she believes he murdered his wife.
She needs his help again when her past catches up with her. Zoe is amazed when Ethan goes all out to help. It’s an interesting and convoluted story that doesn’t create warm fuzzies. Zoe is an emotional character that’s all over the place. Ethan feels almost rigid at times. He’s such a ‘take no prisoners’ kind of guy that I have a hard time believing the two opposites getting together.
Cannon annoyed me continuously by pronouncing Luce as ‘loo-chay’ not ‘loose’. I would expect a spelling with é if she was correct.
If this story appeals, part 2 of Zoe & Ethan is in ‘Truth or Dare’.

not a happy romance pt1

Definitely not slow paced. A lot of twists and turns. A fun read with lots of excitement and romance

Twist and turn

This was a fairly good read. What I loved most was that the storyline really captured my attention. I like that some of the pertinent information about Zoe's life was held back until the appropriate time to reveal it, thus making you want to know more of what really happened to her. Ethan was totally likable, focused and committed to helping Zoe out. The decision for them to marry to help further protect Zoe came right out of left field and was a delightful surprise. It kept you wondering if they would stay together when things got squared away. I really enjoyed this book but as you know Jane Ann Krentz always delivers.

I enjoyed this book. It's not something in my top 10 loves of all books, but it's a romantic happily ever after with some twists and turns. I love Jayne's books because they aren't gory, full of demented killers and death and destruction. I'll definitely be buying book 2.

Nice start to new series
