Summary: Fantastic
Review: 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.

Summary: Relationships between *real* people...
Review: One thing I truly enjoy about the work of Krentz is that she is not afraid to explore relationships between two relatively normal people. Ah, sure, some of her books cover typical romance relationships -- relationships between two beautiful wealthy people, typically between a giving, loving woman and a distrustful, emotionally scarred man. But Krentz isn't afraid to explore other territory -- the relationships between normal people.This particular book is one of the best examples of the "normal people" relationship. The two protoganists are friends and co-workers who have known one another for months without any obvious sparks. The process of falling in love, spending time together, and understanding that relationships take real trust and consideration, as well as passion, makes up the heart of this book. Of course, there is the obvious situation, somewhat unrealistic, that brings about the climax of the book, but that was to be expected, and I don't believe it really detracts from the book.

Summary: Male lead a little too much 'Mr. Know-It-All'
Review: The guy-knowing-best scenario irritates me. But JAK is such a good writer that I still liked the book. But there really needed to be more development of the relationship before/after marriage. They didn't discuss any 'real' issues that should have come up and would have made situations to respond to. Children is a prime example. A light read that I will keep for a while.

Summary: Ms. Krentz at her best
Review: 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.

Summary: Not new, but good
Review: This book showed up on my list of recommendations a few days ago, I semed to remember the title, and when looking on my book-shelf, it was there, I re-read it last night, and it was worth it! The book is witty, funny and as we have begun to expect from JAK a story of the meeting of opposites. The general storyline (dont worry I dont go past about page 8 in this!) is a woman marrying her boss and their way to a good relationship. The funnies in this story is the semi-serious conversations about bad poetry. There is suspence involved too, but this I will not tell about, you can read it yourself. If you didn't get it last time it was published , it is worth your while. But do check your shelf first!

Summary: Utterly Charming!
Review: 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.

Summary: Fantastic
Review: This is a reprint of a book originally published in the mid-eighties. While it is a bit dated in terms of male dominance in the relationship, Krentz draws both the hero and heroine as real (not cardboard) characters. There is a running subplot about a minor cowboy poet that I found hilarious! While not as snappy as some of her more recent books, I found this definitely worth reading.
