Summary: An excellent contemporary romp...
Review: This was the first conetemporary romance that I read where I actually *related* to the heroine. She was smart and sassy and even had insecurities (gasp!). After reading this book I became much more interested in contemporary romances for just that reason - it's nice to read a love story that seems (somewhat) real occasionally (or at least has characters that have concerns like mine - more concerned with mixing career and family than with worrying that Daddy will hitch them up with a bad guy). It was also refreshing to be familiar with the setting of the book. I love books set in England (read them all the time!) - but it adds to the reality of the book if you have actually been to the places the characters discuss.

Summary: Wildest Hearts
Review: Wildest Hearts is a great contemporary romance. The characters are wonderful, colorful and engaging. Krentz did a superb job of presenting this story.Annie Lyncroft does what few modern women would have the guts to do which is propose marriage to a man.....a marriage of convenience. Annie is a slightly quirky character who is fun and easy going. Oliver Rain is a man surrounded by mystery. His personality is cold,hard and smooth. Oliver is a very controlling man and strangely methodic. The relationship between Annie and Oliver surges out of control as the suspense and drama build in the story. Annie and Oliver search for clues surrounding her brother's disappearance while trying to save Lyncroft Unlimited. Annie enjoys thawing Oliver's icy heart while Oliver struggles to maintain control. Wildest Heart's is a wonderful story thats even better the second time.

Summary: One of my favorites
Review: Witty, well-written romance/suspense novel. The plot revolves around a mystery that while a little far fetched, is still enjoyable. The story is suspenseful (for a romance novel), and I have to admit that I was completely surprised at the end when the true villain was revealed. The main characters in the book are well developed and surprisingly human, and like real people they possess both good traits and bad. The dialog is snappy and flows smoothly, and there are none of those long descriptive passages that make you want to start skimming.
Annie Lyncroft becomes the sole owner of a high-tech electronics company after her brother's plane disappears off the Alaskan coast. It isn't long before the vultures start to circle and the company's creditors are pressuring Annie to sell. Annie needs to stalls for time, she is sure that her brother is still alive and she intends on keeping the company safe until he returns. She approaches Oliver Rain (her brother's former employer) and proposes an outlandish scheme. A marriage of convenience. If they were to marry, Oliver would legally be entitled to half of her share of the company, and he could run it until her brother is rescued. Surprisingly Oliver agrees, but he agrees on his own terms.
