Although Amazon has a release date of 2010 for this book, it was originally released in 1998. It dates itself with floppy discs and the mention of Fredrick's of Hollywood. (Today's reference would be Victoria's Secret.)
There are two prologues. One for Jasper (H) and one for Olivia (h). As the story begins the nephews Jasper's been raising are in college. The nephews and the VP of Jasper's company push him to take a vacation...a month long getaway. When he gets back he's informed he's the 51% owner of a company he personally invested money in. The original owner, Rollie, has passed away. It's a family business and Olivia is Rollie's niece and 49% owner.
In Flash not only do Jasper and Olivia have to work together in the transition of leadership within the company Glow, but they also have a blackmailer hitting up several characters within the book...including Jasper and Olivia. What secrets do they hold that's worth blackmail? Everyone has a secret that they prefer never sees the light of day.
I've tried letting the publisher & JAK know about the price because I figure it's a typo in data entry, but hasn't seemed to help. I'd love to add it to my ebk coll. but at that price, I'll keep pulling out my dtb copy! Otherwise, it's not one of my top favs of JAK's but it's good.

That is so weird. Every time someone mentions the price, I go look and I see a normal kindle price ($7.92 today).
I live in Canada, but my kindle account is old, and still connected to the .com site. I purchase all my eBooks in US dollars.
This book price has been mentioned several times, but I always see a reasonable price. I just don't understand how it works!! I'll stick to my DTB copy.
E.T.S. - I felt very similarly about it, gave it 3.5 stars.
yep, using a currency converter, the CAD price translates into 11.96 USD. I like that price so much better! Still not great for an older title, but better than 17.45!!!
I think the price is a typo as well. At first I thought the publisher had increased the price because the book is required reading for a college class. I recall when the book was $7.99. I think someone added a '1' in front. You'd think the publisher would check once sales stop.
Good review Linda. I'm behind on my reading. I'll start Flash as soon as I'm done with Sanctuary.
eReaderiq says the lowest price was $7.99, but that was back in 2012. It has been slightly under $12 recently. I keep waiting for a reasonable price, but in the meantime I still have my tattered paperback that I won't give up. I love that book. FOIL TOWN!
You can't get a cup of tea big enough or a book long enough to suit me.
I finally finished Flash. I agree with Linda's review. I liked Olivia and Jasper. I thought they made a good couple. I like most Jayne Ann Krentz, Jayne Castle, Amanda Quick books.

Jayne Ann Krentz, Jayne Castle and Amanda Quick's Harmony Series is my favorite of hers. I'm sure most of your know those 3 authors are one in the same.

Yep, after I got hooked reading her as Stephanie James! Then I found out, she wrote under other names! Katie, bar the door! I was out hunting all of them I could find & back when you had to go thru racks in the USB to find them; no ebooks or online purchasing back then! not quite "raison d'etre", but it was close sometimes!
