Summary: Fun...
Review: It was a great read and well written. The supporting cast was amazing and funny. Desdemona and Sam were meant for each other. The suspense was well written and not over done. Their first meeting was funny in a cute sort of way and the book got better from there.

Summary: Definitely a worth-while read!!!
Review: Jayne Ann definitely knew how to create and weave a spell of intrigue and mystery around this novel! I have read every one of her books and this one I will always find myself coming back to to read over and over again!!! Definitely a good read...don't get the audio book...you're cheated out of some of the best details!!!!!

Summary: A wondeful read
Review: Krentz is excellent at producing wonderful characters.....Sam Stark seems to be a computer genuis, the nephews eat a lot of cereal, relationships begin and end, values are important, and most important is that Desdemona has an entire family named after Shakespeare's characters. I think this book shifted romance into the computer age. A thoroughly modern spin on romance, and one worth reading.

Summary: Delightful!
Review: Like so many other readers, I started reading Jayne Ann Krentz under her other name, Amanda Quick. I quickly devoured everything she had written and was extremly sad when I got to the end of her books. I love historicals, but I also wanted more of Krentz/Quick's writting so I ventured once again into the world of contemporary romance. _Trust Me_ was the first book I read by Jayne Ann Krentz; I picked it out from my library on a whim, but I don't think I could have picked a better book to start with.Sam Stark was just abandoned at the alter... for the second time. Alone in his office, he is trying to fugure out what went wrong when in comes Desdemona Wainwright, the caterer for his canceled wedding reception. She demands to be payed for her work, even though she feels awful about interupting Stark at such a horrible time in his life. Feeling guilty, she invites him to dinner with her and the rest of the Wainwright clan. At first, Stark is reluctant to except, but he is intriuged by Desdemona, so he agrees. The Wainwright family is a huge clan of mostly out of work actors. They don't like Stark at first... "he's not a theater person". But, as he and Desdemona strike a deal, a passionate love envelopes them, and Desdemona defies her family. But, when a murderer and a blackmailer enter the scene, will Dedemona and Stark be able to find true happiness with each other? Can a precious trust be kept alive or will it be lost forever? _Trust Me_ is a wonderful book by Jayne Ann Krentz. Desdemona was a heroine I really got to care for. She had a strong sense of family, and although it was sometimes a blind sense, Desdemona was loyal and loving. Stark was a very interesting hero. He is basically a nerd with a body that is too die for. I got the feeling he was supposed to be a handsom Bill Gates. One moment you want to jump into the book and give him a hug, and the next you want to throw the book against the wall in hope of bashing some sense into his head. At times he was very loveable and then thoroughly exasperating. The Wainwright family was delightful! They are definitly odd balls, but you love all of them. At times, they are very protective of Desdemona, and at other times they let her run wild. I loved reading about their side plots, and I think Jayne should wright about their plights sometime in the future. I could really conect with the sense of family, and I appreciated it. Being a Seattle-ite, I loved the setting of this book. It was great to hear of a familiar place and to have an actual picture in my mind of what that place really looks like. My only problem with _Trust Me_ was that the mystery was a little weak. In all of Amanda Quick's books, the mystery keeps you guessing until the end, but with this book, I had it figured out befor Desdemona and Stark did. But, it is a wonderful romance, and I recomend it to Amanda Quick and Jayne Ann Krentz fans alike. Belive me (I would usually say "trust me", but that would be a little too corny), you have to read this wonderful book. It is full of snappy dialogue, quirky characters, and other distinct trademarks that make up a Krentz origional.

Summary: Irresistable
Review: The man who abandoned at the altar for the second time is a sure-fire interest grabber. The caterer who ends up dating the jilted groom is another attention flag I can't resist. At this point I realized I wasn't going to be able to put this book down. The nerd who functions superbly in the world of his computer, but can't seem to understand the real world is a character who I can identify with (possibly JAK's most sympathetic male character ever). Desdimona is a little over the top, but I fell in love with her at once.

Summary: Sweet one to read
Review: This is another one of those that I wish I could rate between a 3 and 4 star. I enjoyed the story. I appreciated Stark being a brainy (nerdy)person with a "great bod", wanting more out of life but not knowing how to go about it. He was great- he just needed someone to care and show him how to love and stop being so analytical about everything. The opening sign was great. Stark was left standing at the alter for the 2nd time. Desdemona is the caterier and is having to console him while she tries to get him to pay the bill. Cute scene. Desdemona was a sweetie. I did get awfully tired of her comparing everything to the Wainwright family. That got pretty "corny" after a while. I enjoyed reading it, though I won't want to read it again. But it was fun.

Summary: Excellent !!!
Review: This is without doubt, one of the finest romantic novels today. With an independent heroine, a noble hero, and wonderful family, what's not to like. The highlights were Ms. Krentz's vibrant characterizations, and refreshingly honest communication beteen the protagonists. It was wonderful reading about people who didn't spend a thousand pages in denial or waffling with self respect and other such nonsense. And the genuinely funny moments, when the tech-hip meet the hippie-divas.
