Summary: Not a reprint of Amaryllis or Zinnia
Comment: While this book is a reprint of two former excellent works by Jayne Ann Krentz (writing as Jayne Castle) it is NOT Amaryllis or Zinnia. Those two books are set on the fictional planet of St. Helens in the city-state of New Seattle and are part of a trilogy ending with Orchid.
After Dark, the first in the Harmony duo, is the first story in a new series about para-archaeologist Lydia Smith and her mate Emmett London. The second in this series is the newly printed After Glow another excellent futuristic by Castle.
These stories are set on another planet named Harmony.
I recommend these stories highly... if nothing else, read the stories to meet Fuzz :o)
Bridal Jitters is from the former Charmed Anthology... it is also based on Harmony Planet, but is not part of the Lydia Smith series.

Summary: An excellent read!
Comment: Both stories in this book are two of my favorites. After Dark made me fall in love with futuristic romances. I've read it twice and can't get enough!!!

Summary: a super duo of JAK off world tales!!
Comment: This is a repackage of Amaryllis and Zinnia - two very delightful off world romances under her Jayne Castle name. If you enjoy JD Robb's In Death... series of futuristic romances you should like these as well.
I enjoyed them more the second time around. This is some of JAK's best writing of late. I had been a wee tad disappointed in her last couple HBs and her Amanda Quicks. She seems to have polished her diamond too much and lost some of the spontaneity that was her trademark. But Amaryllis, Zinnia and Orchid, and the off world antics, are her at top form.
Amaryllis Lark is a private detective, but she is also a prism. In the Colony of from Old Earth, people evolved with two talents: either they were a prism or a psychic. The prisms serve to increase the power of the psychics by channelling their powers through them and amplifying it. Even the strongest of psychics needs a prism, for without them they cannot control and maintain their powers.
Lucas Trent the founder of Lodestar hires her for her prism talents. He is an off the chart psychic who need the talent of a prism of his level. If psychic and prism are not of matched talents, the psychic can burn out the prism. And prisms that are as strong as Amaryllis are rare. In order to foil nasty cooperate todos, they are forced to join talents...and more!!
A super, brilliant work from the fine craft of JAK.
>>>>>>>>>>>
In Zinnia the second in the series: Zinnia Spring (don't you love JAK's names!!) was called the Scarlet Lady by the press when she was mistakenly caught in a tacky tabloid triangle. She is an interior designer and instead of trying to live that down, she plays it for all its worth, creating a real Lady in Red. She dresses red, she drives red...
But when she is hired by Nick Chastain, owner of a Casino, things really heat up!! For both Nick and Zinnia, like all the off-worlders, have a little something extra to their make up. In this off world, a colony of old earth, people are either psychics or prisms. The prisms server to increase the power of the psychics by channelling their powers through them and amplifying it. Even the strongest of psychics needs a prism, for without them they cannot control and maintain their powers.
Though he has hired Zinnia for her decorating ability, he needs something more from her. He wants his respectability. He is an over the top psychic, but he needs the perfect prism - and that is Zinnia. For years, because of Nick's father's lost journal, he had been labelled a bastard, the blacksheep. He hopes with the journal to prove his parents were married and gain that respectability - and all trails end and begin with the Scarlet Lady.
This is ONE super read for Jayne Anne Krentz Fan.
Orchid is the third in the series. Surprised they did not reprint all three under the one title.
