Leona Hewitt meets Thaddeus Ware in the most unusual of circumstances.  She's disguised in men's clothing in an attempt to steal back her crystal when she finds Thaddeus standing over the body of a dead woman.  Only by working together will they be able to evade and eventually catch the killer and the thief of Leona's crystal.

This is one of the historical romance novels in the Arcane Society series by author Jayne Ann Krentz.  She writes contemporary novels under her name, historical romances under Amanda Quick, and futuristic romances under Jayne Castle.  Yet they all tie together into one over-arching series.  This book was fun to listen to.  The narration was well done distinguishing between the various characters.  I definitely plan to listen to more of the books in the series.

Illusion Town by Jayne Castle - 340 pages

Hannah and Elias aren't the first ones to wake up in Illusion Town with no recollection of how they got married.  However, in their case, it seems they did it to escape some motorcycle thugs that were trying to capture them.  Unlocking the mystery of their memories will lead them to corporate espionage, hidden identities, and more kidnappings.

This book is in both the Harmony series and the Arcane Society series.  It was a pretty good entry into both series.  It almost seems as if the author is resetting both series once again.

This futuristic Harmony novel ties into both the Rainshadow series and the Arcane Society novels.  It was a very quick fun read.  I enjoyed catching up on the stories of several characters referenced in previous novels.
