Wildest Hearts

Probably my favourite JAK story because of Oliver Rain. His journey from icy control freak to man in love is beautifully written. The story was engaging, Annie was a worthy rival and it has the JAK trademark humour.

This is my comfort food.

I read this in less than 24 hours, it was so good. I didn't give it 5 stars because I'm not sure the book has re-read value, there's nothing that deep or serious going on in it. But it's a perfectly executed fake relationship / romantic suspense novel. The hero in this is very 90s hot. Rich, cold, confident, but also doesn't take himself too seriously. They don't really write heroes like this anymore.

I really enjoyed this book. It was amusing to read about the manipulations attempted by each character and their final resolution. One of the better Krentz stand alone reads.

She knows her brother's not dead - unfortunately, his company may fold if she doesn't do something quick. Annie Lyncroft's solution? Marriage. Oliver Rain is the richest, and the most dangerous, man in the Pacific Northwest. Her brother trusted him, but is she playing right into his hands?

Oliver and Annie are a perfect match - spotting the bad guys may not be too difficult, but it's entertaining just following along as Annie manages to completely disrupt Oliver's world by simply expecting the best of him.

excellent read; hero was her most alpha character very aloof and controlled; loved it; great quirky characters; will read again
