5.0 out of 5 stars timeless

Some of the older romance books are a bit dated. The alpha male leads can be a little overbearing and the female wimpy. If you like that sort of romance then this is not the book for you. Caleb is still an alpha male no doubt about it but in no way is Serenity a wimp, a little airy maybe but more than a match for him. The community at wit's end has sort of an Andy of Mayberry feel set in a 70's commune, with only the best elements taken from each. Family, friendship, looking out for each other, and tolerence for those that are a little different. There is a lot of classic "Krentz" dry wit sprinkled throughout, a blackmail plot to foil etc, overall a nice read. As this romance isn't really dated (other than the only electronic equipment is camera equipment)it would be a great novel to reprint for new Krentz readers. My copy will be a keeper but for those that can't wait for a reprint, buying it used is worth the cost of shipping.

I have had that book forever and have reread it many times. It is formulaic but what counts is how much you enjoy it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not just a great read - a great re-read!
Reviewed in Canada on January 27, 2000
Yes, I have read this book several times. It is just as good the fourth time as the first. If you like your books with strong male and female characters, you will like Jayne Krentz. Serenity is not like many female characters I have read, she is gentle but strong, caring and loyal. I love her uniqueness and her 'alternative' lifestyle. Caleb is a man who never really knew if he was loved and does not really believe it exists. The two meet amidst a murder mystery which they try to solve as well as putting their own lives back together. What a great couple. And I loved the secondary characters! I think you will too.

4.0 out of 5 stars Curiouser and curiouser...
Reviewed in Canada on November 30, 1999
I enjoyed the read. The best parts were those little snippets of visions in the cove. Her jerk of an ex-boyfriend was not funny and not cute. He was annoying as hell and really could have been written differently. Serenity had the best end of the deal in her realtionship with Caleb. They were great together. The main problem I had was in her soft-hearted approach to her slime of an ex.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of Jayne Ann Krentz's bests!
Reviewed in Canada on December 3, 2000
I truly enjoy Ms. Krentz's books, and Hidden Talents is one of my favorites. The character development is great, the chemistry between Serenity and Caleb is wonderful, and who can resist the quirky, off-beat inhabitants of Witt's End? Pick this one up and see if you can find a bottle of "Ole Hogwash" (a Witt's End product) to drink while you read. Enjoy!ps - If you enjoyed this one, be sure to try Absolutely Positively, Trust Me and Deep Waters. You won't be disappointed!

A fun story with several mysteries going on at once. Like all Krentz novels, a great read. I've read this several times now and will definitely keep and read again in the future.

5.0 out of 5 stars A good read with lots of suspense
Reviewed in Australia on October 6, 2017

A good read with lots of suspense and quite a few people who could be the main villain. Caleb annoyed me somewhat at the beginning for being so highly critical of some photographs that he hadn't even looked at, but he definitely improved once he moved into Witt's End and the plot thickened! He then had to start dealing with all the local weird, wonderful and quirky characters who considered Serenity to be one of theirs, and what with being the rich smart businessman, he certainly did not seem a good fit with her alternative lifestyle, family and friends - but it all worked out most satisfactorily in the end!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great story... Way too many Grammer errors!
Reviewed in the United States on July 4, 2017

This was a great book. I loved all the characters. The story line was filled with mystery and intrigue. Great development all the way around. Read it in a day and a half. I only have one complaint... Lots of Grammer errors throughout the book. Hanging quotation marks, question marks where a period or an exclamation mark should be and wrong words in sentences like by instead of my. It took away from the story a little bit but other than that I loved it!
