Rating: Summary: My most favourite JAK novel!!! Review: Annie and Oliver stole my heart!! This is my favourite JAK novel, and I have read it several times, just because these characters are so warm, funny and loving.Annie Lyncroft equated Oliver Rain to a panther taken on human form, so she knew she was treading on dangerous ground when she approached him with a business proposal. Her genius brother had disappeared mysterious, and is feared dead. Annie is not equipped to step into his shoes and run the firm, because it is built around her brother's electronic inventions. Oliver is a high powered businessman, friend of her brother, so she goes to Oliver with an offer that would save her brother's firm, until he can be found. A marriage on convenience. Marry her, give the business investors knowledge that Oliver Rain was there backing her brother's firm as part of the family. Only a marriage on convenience is not convenient when both Annie and Oliver were deeply attracted to each other from first meeting. Oliver is taken off balance by the offer, only because he was slowly, calculating working to corner Annie so she would accept a marriage offer from him. Not being one to look a gift horse in the mouth, Oliver quickly agrees to Annie's terms. Oliver is a quite Alpha/Gamma male, a panther on the prowl and Annie soon learns making deals with the devil can mean paying a high price. And Oliver is making a clear a marriage of convenience is the first condition to be tossed out the window. JAK is on beam, at her best, with Annie and Oliver just endearing characters, with a Quirky manservant/bodyguard tossed in called Bolt. The writing is dazzling! JAK just does not get any better than this.
Rating: Summary: The best of all her books! Review: Before I read Wildest Hearts, the book I like most from JAK was Trust Me. But this one is better. Good plot, believable characters and very good dialogues. JAK at her best!
Rating: Summary: Abolutely wonderfull Review: How many people have been in Oliver's shoes, and faced up to the prospect of having to take on the burden of helping family in the face of great personal and financial crisis? Many have. And I,for one,empathize with him deeply.
Rating: Summary: Love amongst the fern fronds Review: I can't put my finger on exactly what I don't particularly like about this book. It wasn't terrible, but after this second reading I wouldn't read it again. Safe to say I didn't like Oliver (and yes I can understand how he became the control freak he was) and Annie wasn't particularly bright either (no excuse I can think of for that). JAK's characters/books can be repetitious. But I do like some of her writing. I just won't buy any more at this time.

Rating: Summary: It was terrible Review: I didn't get it. He was far to calculating. I hated the entire thing she was too naive I for one can't stand that.This book was plain annoying and is Annie just a total idiot or is it my imagination. What was up with the crying to his family it wasn't the right thing to do marital problems stay in the marrige. I am getting sick of the near death thing it is annoying.
Rating: Summary: I really enjoyed this book. Review: I have not read a Jayne Ann Krentz/Jayne Castle/Amanda Quick book I haven't loved. Just about every book has scenes that are laugh out loud funny. I am a fan for life. Now if I could only find some of her Stephanie James books!
Rating: Summary: Had potential but... Review: I have read a few stories by Amanda Quick and was unimpressed. Recently I picked up a book by Jane Ann Krentz and found it to be not to bad... must have been the exception. I picked up a few other books by her under the assumption that she wrote better in the present tense and went with that idea. Boy was I wrong. Not to shun or critized Ms. Krentz but I found the writing in this book to be stereo typical romance novel. The characters were not convincing and I could not believe any of them. This book had potetial... the plot itself was great but the characters never really came alive. I agree with another respondant that Bolt was the saving grace of this book! Don't waste your money, if you MUST read it get it from the public library!
Rating: Summary: One of the BEST JAK's Review: In a twist from her usual plot, the woman goes after the man with several layers of ulterior motive. Jayne Ann Krentz is a master of the plot twist, and her writing delights as usual.
