A Jayne Ann Krentz Classic.

Legends can be dangerous, just ask Sariana Dayne. She sets out to hire one and wakes up married to him. It’s a marriage of infuriating inconvenience as far as Sariana is concerned.

Gryph Chassyn stirs all her senses but he’s one of the mysterious mercenaries known as Shields. Sensible women do not marry such men. But for Gryph, marrying Sariana is a matter of honor, passion and survival. He needs her in ways she cannot even imagine.

Before Sariana can find a way to escape the bond that has been forged between them, she and Gryph are caught up in a desperate quest to save their world. The future looks a little different but some things, like love and passion, and murder never change.

4.0 out of 5 stars A fun sci fi JAK book!

I bought the unabridged audio version of Shield's Lady read by Natalie Ross. I'm glad that I did because it definitely made exercising on my elliptical more enjoyable!!
JAK makes good use of her quirky imagination in this novel. The story seemed like an episode of the old Star Trek shows. Advanced people visiting a wild wild west planet of old & new with alien weaponry and all the trimmings.
In the beginning, Gryph a Shield Lord from the savage frontiers of the West treats Sariana, a business woman from the East like a Carpathian from one Christine Feehan's Dark series novels in that he made her his Shieldmate (which is binding) without her total consent/knowledge however, the similarities end there. Gryph & Sariana then set out on a journey to return a stolen prisma cutter as their supposed romance blossoms. I gave this 4 stars as both of the main characters were a bit annoying in their constant bickering and I just didn't feel the love between them even though, at times they could be passionate with each other- just my opinion. However, I do like sci fi stories and that kept my interest.

Finally this book appears to have reached the level of excellence of her later books. The main characters are headstrong but not annoying the romance is more give and take not the 50s male dominated attitude. Definitely the best of the 3 in the series.

3.0 out of 5 stars Fun Early Krentz Futuristic Book
Reviewed in the United States on October 8, 2012

I got Jayne Ann Krentz's newsletter and saw where Shield's Lady was offered as an ebook for 1.99. I had read the other two Lost Colony books Sweet Starfire and Crystal Flame. I even have a combined hardcopy of the two books but had never read Shield's Lady so I purchased and read. All three were written in the 1980's so are early example's of Krentz's futuristic writing. For me they are not as good as the St. Helen's books and those are not as good as the Harmony/Ghost Hunter books. That said they are worth reading and do let you see Krentz's progression as a writer.

Shield's Lady was the last of the Lost Colony series and for me it is the best. In this colony there were two colony ships and they crashed on separate continents on the planet Windarra. Both groups thought that everyone on the other ship perished. They have just recently rediscovered each other. Both groups are developed in very different manners.

Sariana Dayne is from the eastern continent where lives are very structured and in Sariana's mind much more civilized. She has moved to
the western continent and although she does not realize it at first she fits much better on the western continent where life if full of surprises.

Gryph Chassyn is a Shield. Shields are surrounded by mystery and legends. There are not Shields on the eastern continent so this is Sariana's first contact with a Shield. Sariana does not believe in legends. When the two end up working together sparks fly. Shields have special powers that help protect the people of the planet. One thing that is unique about them is the fact they have to find their Shield Mate to every have children and then they only have male children. Sariana is Gryph's Shield Mate. Not that she believes that.

The set up here is great. There is a lot of tension between Gryph and Sariana. She refuses to believe the part about Shield Mates. Gryph never askes, he orders. Sariana never follows orders. A prisma cutter has been stolen and Sariana needs Gryph to find it. What develops is much more than a theft. The theft is part of a dangerous plot that only Gryph and Sariana can stop.

Shield's Lady was a quick fun read. If you like Jayne Ann Krentz's futuristic stories pick this on up and find out about one of the Lost Colonies.

4.0 out of 5 stars Early Scifi Romance Fun
Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2022

Don't mind me, just whipping through all of Krentz' backlist now. I didn't realize, until halfway through the book, there was two books the preceded it and that Krentz had written some of the earliest romances classified as scifi (not scifi with romance, but actual marketed as romance novels with scifi elementa).

I enjoy her Harmony series, and this has a lot of similar ideas; mind talents being strengthened on an alien planet, mysterious crystal ships left behind by an alien species, decidedly adorable but abnormal pets that bond with humans, para-psychic powers. In some ways it could exist in that same universe almost.

This does however have some typical romance side eye behavior though, including some overbearing alpha male behaviors from Gryph, but largely I enjoyed reading How Sarianna largely used her wits and cleverness to win the day.

Its unfortunate it seems to be only these three in the series, but if you find yourself enjoying it (and you're not already a fan of), try out the Harmong novels. You'll find a lot of similarities and enjoyment level.

I liked the peak into a different world. We get a little psychic thread with the romance and a little suspense .
It was published a while ago but the story still works well.
