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 the bottom line isn't making it in the marketplace—it's the merger of hearts.
Olivia Chantry's desk may be 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 or causes. Her marvelous success has almost made up for a marriage that ended in disaster and left her wedded to a career instead of a mate.
She certainly has enough on her well-sculpted shoulders when she inherits a portion—49 percent, to be precise—of Glow, Inc., her uncle's high-tech lighting firm. But it's the interloper who bagged the other 51 percent with whom Olivia has butted heads. Jasper Sloan, a venture capitalist and deal-maker, is a man with all his ducks in a row—his neat, orderly life under control. From the start of their feisty business dealings, the so-called partners nearly crash and burn: they are suspicious of each other's motives. But the snap, crackle, and pop of their sexual energy cannot be denied. Now, their steamy joint venture is headed unmistakably in one direction: trouble.

— Ayaonbooks, 7/5/2011" Argh, some of the language is sooooo cliched (and syntactically wrong. General consensus of opinion. ...) "
— Barbara, 4/19/2011" Argh, some of the language is sooooo cliched (and syntactically <em>wrong</em>. General consensus of opinion. ...) "
— Barbara, 3/30/2011" Good, not great. I liked the romance but would have enjoyed more time spent developing it. The suspense plot was very good in parts, but it hinged on something a little far-fetched, and that fact kind of ruined it for me. Still, light and fun, with some witty dialog. "
— Carrie, 12/2/2010" good, but not a good as the other books by her. "
— Brianna, 6/19/2010" Yet another trashy beach read (which doesn't mean I don't enjoy these books). This one was somewhat better than the others I read. "
