There was no passion to break her heart, no love to risk and lose. Marrying her boss, prominent businessman Cormick Grayson, was a very reasonable proposition for a woman who’d been hurt in love before. It was a mutually beneficial arrangement. At first. But something wasn’t right. Gray’s eyes told her there was more to this than a polite, passionless marriage. But Gray’s cool, impersonal distance left Amber wondering about the man she’d married. Amber never imagined she’d be the one demanding more, yearning to feel things she vowed she would never risk again. “If there’s one thing you can depend on, it is the humor, passion and excitement of a Jayne Ann Krentz novel.” – Romantic Times

By Jean Cooper
Format:Mass Market Paperback
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.

Format:Hardcover
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.
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Cute book - the bad poetry makes me giggle and the relationship between the two leads is very sweet. None one of JAK's greatest, but definitely very enjoyable nonetheless.

Relationships between *real* people...
One thing I truly enjoy about the work of Krentz is that she is not afraid to explore relationships between two relatively normal people. Read more
