NOT like original
I don’t understand this item as I had the POTATO EXPRESS before and it’s different. The inside material looks similar but pattern is slightly different. This has the appropriate copyright on the bags but it reeks of knockoff. Instructions on the potato bag are different somewhat. The outside packaging was a plastic sleeve not a box with no markings. Very puzzling how this could be an actual POTATO EXPRESS as seen on TV product. Wouldn’t recommend. Find the real product and buy that it works better.

A ho-hum subject w/ a whiney male lead character. Not the usual L.J. novel.
This book is definately nowhere near the level of developed writing that I see in so many other of Lisa Jackson's works. The male lead character is on my top ten list of the worse romantic and/or male leads. I literally gritted my teeth every time he had something to say or do. Lisa Jackson had tried to create a strong male romantic character but instead he appeared overbearing, whiney, & insecure. The female lead character was strong, depressing, but sincere. Overall the story was a good concept but it never evolved nor did it resolve. This is a story about the financial world, so somebody that likes romances in that category may be interested, but other than that, I don't recommend the book. The book is average.

Similar to Jayne Castle's futuristic series with a twist. Overall very good
You can definately tell that this particular book is a, and I'll use the term very loosely, "prequel" to the Jayne Castle futuristic series. This was released in 1989 and, what I call the "dust bunny" series were introduced in 2000-present. I really enjoy the "dust bunny" series, so Shield's Lady was quite a surprise when I realized that this particular novel was later conceptualized into the Jayne Castle series of present. There are alot of similarities in that the main female character carries around a futuristic lizard on her person similar to the dust bunnies in the Jayne Castle series. The female lead character uses paranormal senses to tune into the male lead character's senses. There are many parallel's & similarities to the present series and it was quite interesting to imagine how Jayne took the concept and ran with it. I like the idea of this book but I felt that I needed more background before it shoved me into the unfamiliar world. For example, the ships that brought the people over could have had more background, so it left me slightly unsatisfied in that respect. Having said that, the plot was good, the characters well written, and I enjoyed the imaginary futuristic world that Jayne expertly weaved and helped me imagine like I was actually there. One aspect of this book I really liked was the "Shield's" tribe/background and capabilities. The concept was very inventive. Overall it was nice to read a book Jayne wrote 12 years ago and compare that to a current book, like "Midnight Crystal" or "Ghosthunter". I rate the book above average because I really liked the raw concept and it was well-rounded, with a solid romantic theme. All the villians were exactly as I would expect from a Jayne book. I am not much into fantasy books overall, but for some reason, I enjoy greatly this author's fantasy worlds. I would recommend this book, and especially recommend it to someone that already enjoys the Jayne Castle futuristic series.
