"Annie are you by any chance proposing to me."

THE STORY: When Annie Lyncroft's brother is lost and presumed dead in a plane crash, Annie does not want to accept his death. She needs someone to help save her brother's company. She turns to Oliver Rain and proposes a marriage of convenience until her brother's return. Oliver agrees but has another motive. He intends on making their marriage real because he wants Annie.

OPINION: I love the characters of Oliver and Annie. Oliver is so puzzled by how Annie turns his life upside down. Annie is the catalyst that opens up Oliver's self-controlled world. The star of this story is the romance. The mystery itself was not that compelling for me. Things were resolved rather quickly without much suspense. Compared with Krentz's more recent efforts, this one is more romance than suspense.

WORTH MENTIONING: Oliver is one of Krentz's unique heroes who has quirky interests but still is extremely successful at business.

FINAL DECISION: I thought the mystery was rather pedestrian, but I liked the romance between Annie and Oliver. The interaction between the controlled Oliver and the energetic Annie always makes me smile.

CONNECTED BOOKS: WILDEST HEARTS is a standalone.

STAR RATING: I give this book 4 stars.

Wildest Hearts A Novel Jayne Ann Krentz 9780671728571 Books Reviews

I love this book, I have had it in hardcopy and now I have the version, which I have always wanted. Its a funny and good read.

The Story.

Book starts when Ann a shop owner is in the penthouse of one the wealthiest man is America Oliver Rain. A dangerous and self made man who controls both his family and empire with an iron fist. She goes to ask him for help to save her brother's company, since her brother has disappeared in a plane crush. She ends up proposing marriage, with everyone against it. The bad guy trying to do them in, spies, foes and family colliding and a sex thrown in for good measure, not forgetting the tack elephant.
Wonderfully told story. Funny, suspenseful, sad and so much more. Story of family dynamics and of love. So many kinds of love.
Annie and Oliver are getting together to "save" Annie's brother company. That's what they tell themselves. They're in love with each other. Annie admits to it really fast. Oliver, not so much.
They learn about each other through series of all kinds of events, some funny, some dangerous.

Family dynamics get in the way, corruption and crime pushes them both to work harder on their relationship.
At the end they conquer any and all obstacles. Like in life, nothing is ideal but that doesn't stop them from working together toward happiness.
Good read, two thumbs up!
Talk about a cool as cucumber hero and a flighty but smart heroine. This book's a thousand times more interesting than 50 shades. But that's really not saying much, I guess. Really, read this book instead. I'm only making the comparison, as many seem to think that being a control freak is hot in a hero. This book makes that work so much better. Without the weird kinky factor. Don't worry, it's still pretty steamy. The plot is not too intense, so it makes for a really good light read. I've first read this book so many years ago and it's still as good today. It's on my keeper list and a solid "go to" book.

The book reads like a 90s Rom-Com movie. The little suspense mystery subplot isn't really meaty but it helps to set up the relationship between the H and H. I love JAK's dialogues. They can be really hilarious. And she knows how to make for a sigh worthy ending. Some of the scenarios may make you roll your eyes a bit, but it's all fun. I read romance novels to relax and I liken Ms. Krentz's books (in any of her pseudonyms) to a tall glass refreshing cool lemon iced tea.

You may also like her other titles like Trust Me, Family Man and so many more...
The heroine Annie was too much of a Mary Sue for me - too perfect. From the beginning she tells wealthy man Oliver how he needs to improve his communication skills. She treats him the way a mother would. She insists that he keep her involved in everything even though she is out of her league in his high tech business world. Annie owns a shop selling artsy and decorative things for the home.

The plot about Annie’s missing brother and some questionable things going on in his company was pretty good.

Oliver’s father took all the family’s money and left debts when Oliver was in college. Oliver wanted to be a botanist, but he left school and became a wealthy businessman, paying off his father’s debts and raising his siblings. Oliver has a reputation for being ruthless and dangerous. Annie is the sweetness who brings love to his life.

This story is what you’d expect from a 1992 Harlequin novel.
