Rating: Summary: Absolutely, Positively one of JAK's Best!! Review: I LOVE these characters! This is JAK at her best. She just does not get any better. Molly Abberwick owns a tea and spice shop, enjoying her life in Seattle until her father dies and leaves her in charge of his Foundation to help budding inventors. She is now facing a problem. The problem is Dr. Harry Stratton Trevelyn, who is the 'debunker' of fake inventions. He vets the applicants before Molly passes out the money grants. Molly gets very enthusiastic about all sorts of inventions, only to have Harry shoot them down time after time. So far, he has not approved one single invention. Harry has his own problems. He is caught between the two sides of his family - the very rich socialite Stratton side and his carnival side Trevelyns. Harry is very rich, so the carnival family is always asking him for this and that, with both sides keeping a constant tug of war on Harry. This emotional battlefield has caused Harry to be very self contained, maybe too controlled. The one place his control is let loose is in the bedroom. Also around to cause him headaches is his ex-fiancé, a psychiatrist who thinks Harry might be slightly insane and is trying to warn Molly from to not get involved with him. The final mix to Harry's problem is his is psychic and does not want to admit it. Having been raised in a carnival part-time, he has seen this used as a game, so he does not like to let people know about it.As Molly slowly gets involved with Harry and the whole cast of his family, someone starts to play dangerous pranks on her, and it is quickly evident someone wants her dead. The characters are so warm, so loving and with that JAK razzle-dazzle that she has polished to a beautiful diamond finished. Lets hope she soon gets back to this level of writing.
Rating: Summary: ONE OF MY FAVORITE BOOKS AND AUTHORS Review: I loved this book ! I bought it hardcover after checking it out at the library. Harry and Molly are wonderful together. Krentz has outdone herself. I loved the adventure and excitment that Harry and Molly experience The hint of telepathy also made the book interesting. this book is grrreat! I can't wait to read the rest of her books

Rating: Summary: Got to love a Krentz Review: I think I own every thing she has ever written under every name. This one lived up to my expectations. It was smart and funny.
Rating: Summary: Terrible disappointment Review: I wish Jayne ann would go back to writing about Oliver or Sam or Max in her previous books! Harry seems to be an abrupt departure from what was a successful formula! Please,Jayne ann go back to them! Write more books about those kinds of men I love best!
Rating: Summary: We all enjoyed it and renewed it twice. Review: I work for the postoffice typing 10 hours per night and we all enjoy audio books to pass the time. I got several of Jaynes books and we passed them around the room. Absolutely,positivily was one of our favorites along with Perfect Partners. We are having a hard time getting Family Man but we are surly convinced it is going to be worth the wait.
Rating: Summary: HOOKED ON KRENTZ Review: I'LL MAKE THIS SHORT & SWEET. KRENTZ DELIVERS THE BEST IN CONTEMPORARY ROMANCE. IF HER NAME IS ON THE COVER, BUY IT. I'VE YET TO BE DISAPPOINTED IN THIS AUTHOR
Rating: Summary: Great Read Review: In my opinion this is the last really enjoyable book that was written by JAK before she entered her...shall we say, 'Difficult' phase.
This book is untainted by the Oh-So-Lame virus which blighted her later crop of novels, and is a delightful, humourous romp peppered with moments of surprisingly moving tenderness, as an emotionally scarred Alpha male is taught how to love again by a classic heroine in JAK's inimitable style.
The Alpha male here is an unusually intriguing character, with a background that makes us feel that he may in fact be justified in being such a moody prat, once we learn the full story. And the heroine manages to be stubborn, headstrong and opinionated etc, without being so irritating that you want to strangle her. The story has a nicely plotted intrigue element, which generates a couple of moments of proper menace.
All in all, a fine example of a JAK novel, well worth splashing out on.
Rating: Summary: Absolutely, Positively...oh no, thats just too lame. Review: In my opinion this is the last really enjoyable book that was written by JAK before she entered her...shall we say, 'Difficult' phase. Or, as it is more commonly known to her fans, 'The Period of Really Bad Books that Make Us Wish We Had Never Wasted Our Money'. However, this book is untainted by the Oh-So-Lame virus which blighted her later crop of novels, and is a delightful, humourous romp peppered with moments of surprisingly moving tenderness, as an emotionally scarred Alpha male is taught how to love again by a classic heroine in JAK's inimitable style.

Rating: Summary: Krentz's plots and secondary characters are always lively. Review: In this book, the plot and characters are interesting, as always. It's the secondary characters that I found charming. I even liked Molly's deceased inventor father! Watch for Harry's families. The engagement party scene is exquisite. As usual, a lot more sticks with you than just a love story.
