I thoroughly enjoyed this Jayne Ann Krentz book. JAK was one of my favorite authors, but after being disppointed by several of her books in a row years ago, I all but stopped reading her. I am so glad that I read this one, and it was good enough that I will go back and read others by her that I missed. All Night Long had a really good story with a mystery that kept me guessing, but what made this book were the two main characters and their interaction with one another. There were numerous interesting secondary characters, and there was enough humor to make the book a fun and easy read.

Irene Stenson returns to her hometown seventeen years after finding the bodies of her parents in an apparent murder-suicide. Her former best friend, Pamela Webb has contacted her and asked for a meeting. When it appears that Pamela has ditched their meeting, Irene investigates and discovers Pamela's body, another apparent suicide. Irene has never believed that her father committed the horrible crimes seventeen years ago, and although she hasn't known Pamela during the past seventeen years, she doesn't believe she would take her own life. Irene, a reporter for a small newspaper, believes that the town holds secrets that must be uncovered. She is staying a a local lodge owned by an ex-marine, Luke Danner. Luke's protective instincts kick in immediately and he accompanies or follows Irene as she investigates.

Luke's interfering but well meaning family are trying to intercede in his life because they believe that he is suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. They wrongly believe that he is losing his grip and are worried that he is a danger to himself. Irene accepts Luke's past and all of his eccentricities without batting an eye, and he does the same for her. Both are aware that the other is dealing with plenty of baggage, but they respect and quickly come to care deeply for one another. They work together to discover the secrets that the town holds while trying to avoid danger themselves.

All Night Long was an entertaining and fun book to read. The two main characters were well written and there was plenty of chemistry between them. The mystery was not easy to unravel, and there was quite a lot of action. This book will definitely have me reading more JAK soon.

It was an excellent and fun read.

It is the development of a romantic relationship set within a murder mystery with some added suspense and a generous use of humor. I loved Luke's character. Many of his lines were gems. He was a gruff retired marine who bought a third-rate motel, which I will call the "Lodge." He intimidates and yells at paying customers as if they were marine recruits, as he informs them of motel rules and enforces the rules. He also puts out the "no vacancy" sign when he does not want to be disturbed. Irene, his love interest heroine, also has some good lines. This book was full of wonderfully creative dialogue. The characters and conversations caused me to laugh out loud many times. It is dry wit. I will quote a couple of examples here, but I fear they may not be as funny to the reader of this review, since the reader does not have the full flavor of the characters and the context for the lines. But, I'm hoping to provide a glimpse of the type of humor. On page 46, Luke's assistant Maxine complained that Luke did not put out donuts in the morning since the Lodge had a guest. Maxine said "All of the better-class hotels and inns do it." Luke said "I like to think that the Lodge is in a class by itself." On page 87, he has one guest Irene staying at the Lodge. As Irene is driving away, he runs to the drive and stops in front of her car, forcing her to stop. He says "Where are you headed?" She says "You know, I've stayed in a wide variety of lodging establishments in my life, but this is the first time I've had to account for my comings and goings to the proprietor." He said "We do things a little differently here at the Lodge." His motive for this, of couse, is that he's interested in her, attracted to her and concerned for her safety. I love this kind of writing. Sexual language: mild. Number of sex scenes: two. Setting: current day small town of Dunsley, in northern California. Genre: romantic mystery suspense.

Reread April 2011-- This book is such a great blend of humor, suspense, and romance. I enjoyed it as much or more the second time around.
4.5*

(Originally read November 2010) Well-plotted suspense with a good deal of humor and some great characters. The epilogue tries to tie up loose ends in too many neat, sappy bows, but otherwise I enjoyed the character interactions in this book, especially the growing relationship between Luke and Irene.

Allora, se non mi viene voglia di comprarlo al primo colpo appena leggo la trama, un motivo c'è sempre. Però non si faceva che un gran parlare di questo nuovo romantic suspance, con un eroe ex-militare (probabile causa della mia rovina) e un giallo molto ben fatto. Alé, l'ho scambiato con un altro romanzo e l'ho iniziato piena di aspettative positive. Dopo le prime 30 pagine già sbadigliavo e mi ero annoiata a tal punto da cercare i commenti delle altre lettrici per capire dove avessi sbagliato. Il problema è semplice: da un romantic suspance mi aspetto di più. Più spessore da parte dei personaggi, più complessità della trama e soprattutto più articolazione del narrato. Non è possibile (anzi si, lo è) che un romanzo di 300 scorra senza lasciare nessun segno, che sia superficiale, dimenticabile, insulso e senza sapore dalla prima all'ultima riga. Va bene, è pur sempre un romance, e quindi la parte relativa all'omicidio era per forza di cose molto allungata e semplificata. Ci sta, lo posso accetare, ma questo aspetto deve essere compensato dai personaggi. Invece no! Nemmeno con i due protagonisti ho ottenuto un minimo di sapore. Questo fantomatico ex-militare non ha nulla della rigidità dell'uomo d'armi, anzi si lascia trasportare tranquillo tranquillo dalle sfighe della protagonista senza porre la minima resistenza. Lo scopo di Luke è quello di fare il check in a Irene, fare capolino in un paio di scene d'azione, fare il finto uomo traumatizzato e basta. Irene è altrettanto insipida. Ha trovato i genitori morti quando era ragazzina, ha avuto una vita fatta di ossessioni e psicosi, viene coinvolta un'altra volta in una serie di omicidi e cosa fa? Si fa incartare la colazione perché la mattina ha fame. Bho, dov'è la sostanza? La profondità di personaggi che dovrebbero essere tutto tranne semplici? Non so, non mi ha convinta. Non solo non mi è piaciuta la storia e i personaggi, nemmeno lo stile dell'autrice mi ha lasciato un briciolo di questo romanzo. Lo riscambio subito senza tanti ripensamenti, e saluto la Quick con la manina byebye adieu a mai più!(less)

Now seventeen years later, Irene is back in small town Dunsley when she received a message of her ex-bestfriend, Pamela, that hinted that there was more to the case. Ex-marine Luke Dunner owns Sunrise on Lake Lodge where she stays temporarily. Luke senses there is more to Irene and when both uncover a body, he makes it his business to invade Irene's personal space and whereabouts.

Finding out who did the suspected-suicide killing was slow. It was scene after scene that slowly inched itself to reveal the actual story. There was a fire that burned down Pamela's house when both investigated, then the rumors, then another outing, etc. The pacing was too slow for my liking when the connections were finally made almost 3/4 in the book. Although it was fun guessing who as the suspense built it up. It took long and involved characters were introduced later on so I didn't get the full impact they had on.

Irene is a reporter for a small magazine and breaks the story but knows there's more to it than her parents and friends' deaths. It's personal for her. For some reason, Luke won't leave her alone. While there was tension between them - I liked how protective Luke was - Irene had little drive to encourage it. It was all Luke who went for it, made the first moves while Irene basked in it. She had a sophisticated air but her innerself was much better and made her more real. At times, she was stupid. Like, seriously stupid. TSTL territory. Investigating the unknown, etc, danger yet still goes without Luke nearly gets her killed lots of times. Gads, she wasn't annoying yet doesn't think things through.

Luke wants to her to know that he wants more than what they have, takes it slow so she would go for him too. That's the kind of hero I like reading about. He knows what he wants, helps and cares for Irene while falling in love with her. His past problem wasn't that big so it was a let-down. Didn't seem to be a big deal with all the build up. He's an alpha for sure and takes charge. Liked him better as well as his brother, Jason.

Overall, the suspense was too overdone - never thought I'd say that - but it was okay overall. (less)

All Night Long by Jayne Ann Krentz

Several years later, Irene receives a cryptic e-mail from Pamela asking her to meet her in Dursley. She has information about the past and used a super-secret teenage code from their past to let Irene...more

Romance and suspense makes for a pretty good intriguing, and satisfying read. Add humor into the mix and its pretty irresistible -only if it helps humanize the character and drive the plot. The alternative being it feels contrived or awkward. Such was the first case for All Night Long.

Outwardly the story already seems intriguing. Shy girl with a painful past, ex-Marine, and a death of a friend from long ago, it's obvious the mystery is there from the start. What isn't entirely obvious is the wit...more

I didn't particularly care for the narration or production of this audiobook. The story seemed a bit predictable (in that I guessed correctly at the outcome less than half way through the book.) Nevertheless it was entertaining and held my attention.

Publisher's Summary
Shy, studious Irene Stenson and wild, privileged Pamela Webb had been the best of friends for one short high-school summer. Their friendship ended the night Pamela dropped Irene off at home - and Irene walked in to discover her parents' bodies on the kitchen floor. It was ruled a murder-suicide, and Irene fled Dunsley, determined to wipe out every memory attached to her northern California hometown.

But now she has been summoned back. Pamela's e-mail had been short and cryptic. More alarming, it included the code word they had used as teenagers, suggesting an urgency and secrecy that puzzled Irene. What could be important enough to make her former friend get in touch after all these years? She won't find out - at least not from Pamela, who lies dead in the luxurious home of her father, a U.S. senator, pill and liquor bottles beside her. The shock has barely subsided before the rumors begin to swirl.

Irene had planned to get out of this place as quickly as possible. But her reporter's instinct - and her own hunger to know the truth - compel her to extend her stay at the local lodge.

Even more compelling is the man who runs the place - a hazel-eyed ex-Marine who's as used to giving orders as Irene is to ignoring them. Luke Danner can see the terrified young girl hidden beneath Irene Stenson's black-clad, confident exterior - and he is intent on protecting her.

But Luke is also driven by passions of his own, and together they will risk far more than local gossip to sort out what happened to Pamela Webb - and what really happened on that long-ago summer night.

What the Critics Say
"The dialogue, which dominates the book, is strong throughout; the plot is tight....this is an impressive page-turner from a master of the genre." (Publishers Weekly)
"Kathy Garver capably differentiates the female characters through careful modulation of tone and emotion. David Colacci's smooth, sultry tone breathes life into Luke and emphasizes the arrogance of the famous senator." (AudioFile)(less)
