Customer Reviews

Fantastic

Jayne Ann Krentz is one of the best writers of our time. Her stories are fantastic and hard to put away. I have read everything that she has written and I still loof for any new ones. I loved this book. The characters were believable and strong. The settings were so incredibly written that I could almost picture myself there. I recommend this book and any other that she has written.

Utterly Charming!

This has been reprinted several times and I find the book not to be dated as some of the other JAKs. It is a charming tale of a women who married a man because he is safe. She had a stormy relationship with a race car drivers that left her want a nice peaceful relationship. She gets that chance when he boss says they should get married. He says they work together well, there is no reason marriage cannot work. At first, Amber is unsure, but thinks it will work. But she soon finds her marriage is much more than a matter of convenience to them both.When you add in some terrible poetry written by an obscure cowboy, the dialogue is JAK at her best.A gentle gem.

Prime Krentz

As a long time Krentz fan I have always found this book to be a favorite re-read. The heroine and hero are wonderful--the story of sleeping beauty is always a favorite and this heroine is definitely emotionally in deep slumber. But, what really sets this story apart is Jayne's terrific invention of the western poet Twitchell. The bad poetry is hilarious and yet just enough "off" to mimic real western poetry from the likes of Bad Bart and other 49er era poets. The denouement with the cheating ex-boy friend getting the fright of his life is hilarious--a fun book that is high on my comfort shelf.

Vintage Krentz (reprint)

If you haven't yet read this category length novel originally printed in the mid-eighties, definitely get it. This is Krentz at her laugh out loud, wittiest best. Amber Langley moves to Seattle (where else in a Krentz?) in an effort to leave her former life behind. Six months ago, she broke up with Roarke Kelly, a race car driver she had had an intense, passionate affair with. Determined to never again be a prisoner of her tempestuous passions, she agrees to marry her mild, plodding boss Cormick Grayson for completely sensible reasons. Little does Amber know, Gray is really a Superman in Clark Kent's clothing...This book has some of the best one-liners Krentz has ever penned. The relationship between the protagonists is right on target, the sex is hot, and the comedy is classic JAK. Don't miss this one while it's still in print.

Ms. Krentz at her best

The storyline is very typical of Ms. Krentz the tall dark and handsome business man and the shy and reserved woman. It may be typical but it works.....Amber marries her boss for convience after all they get along so well and the boss Cormick says he marries her because they like each other but of course he's head over hills but knows she's weary of relationships. What they have together works with a lot of laughs, intrique and warmth. You finish reading this book and wish them the best.
