Not the best book....but, 2008-03-09
OK, here's how I see it, JAK sitting around with nothing to do, so she comes up with the perfectly terrible book. I love JAK, but I would have done better not reading this book. It starts out bad, and doesn't get any better. I just kept waiting for something to happen, and it drags, and it drags, and when you think something might happen...it drags some more.

Pick up a copy!, 2003-04-17
Angie Townsend married Owen Sutherland out of love. On their wedding night, though, a phone call to her honeymoon suite and an envelope delivered to the door with a copy of a post-dated press release made her wonder if she had been played for a fool. After all, their courtship had been what the public would call a "whirlwind". And their families had been rivals in the hotel business for a long time. Had Owen married her only to con her family into merging companies? Angie decided the consummation of her new marriage would be put on hold until she found out! ***** The early works of author Jayne Ann Krentz has long been my favorites. I decided to pull out a few of them, during my short vacation, and escape for awhile. This novel (along with "Family Man") is one of the best, in my opinion. It is loaded with romance, suspense, danger, mystery, and a gothic flavor. Victoria Holt fans would especially love this one. If you have not read this story as yet, you are missing out on a terrific time! Pick up a copy!

JAK's worst, 2002-10-31
This has to be one of JAK's WORST books. Don't get me wrong, she is one of my favourite authors and I feel nearly all her early works as Stephanie James and the others for Candlelight and Temptation hold up very well in reprint. In many instances, I think she demonstrates her shining talent, with a fresh spontaneity she is lacking in her last few hard backs. However, this is NOT one of them. The characters are dated, the situation, near ridiculous....sorry....just nothing going this.
I disliked the female character especially. She goes from logical, level head person one minute, to this very whiny, spiteful, unrealitic woman the next. UGH, spare me.
Save your money and buy Amaryllis, Zinnia or Orchid and have a much better time. This one should have been released like they did some of her (MUCH BETTER) Stephanie James and given a lower release price.
