All Night Long by Jayne Ann Krentz

4.0

I do enjoy Jayne Ann Krentz's stories.  All Night Long is definitely a top favorite of hers for me because I just couldn't put this book down. I was hooked on the mystery and the romance, to the point that I was up until 1 in the morning finishing the book. I love the characters Irene Stenson and Luke Danner! Krentz is fantastic at writing strong women who aren't afraid to do what is necessary to protect those they care for or get to the truth - which is exactly the kind of woman reporter Irene is. And Luke - well, how can you not like a Marine man that in an attempt to distance himself from his overprotective family, buys a lake-side cabin resort business but hates having to have guests. And their development throughout is well-done, specifically how they assist each other with accepting the pain from their past and finding strategies to move forward. The mystery is just gripping and becomes very dark as it unfolds. And I love the comedic moments sprinkled throughout the story, especially the banter between Irene and Luke. I can definitely see myself rereading this story in the future and I recommend this for anyone that enjoys a good mystery and romance.
