3.0 out of 5 stars really did not care for the female lead
Reviewed in Canada on October 9, 2002
The writing in this book is usual JAK, but I really had a hard time warming to this character and her unrealistic attitudes.
She is plain-jane Katy Randall. She is cautious, level-headed and a woman on her own two feet, horse-trainer and breeder at her father's expensive ranch. Years ago, she had a crush on the young man her father hired to work in the barn, Garrett Coltrane. His father had lost his ranch through bad management so Garrett is forced to work.
He returns years later, a wealthy man and read to build a life for himself. He sees Katy and the old sparks are there. She is just what he wants as a wife, a partner to build his future - plus she has the blood-blue backgrounds that Garrett wants. She is no vapid miss, but a 28 year old woman who is perfect for his plans.
The book opens with Katy having an attack of bridal jitters, because she over hears to biddies talking about how Garrett married her to give him the breeding background he lacked. As they head to their honeymoon, she gets snappish, sour and very much the pain in the bum. Garrett is not thrilled to find himself in a honeymoon suit that is a cotton-candy pink nightmare. So frilly any man would balk. Even Katy see the room as enough to give anyone cavities just looking at it, but she get mad at him because he does not appreciate it. OH PLEASE! As the time to go to bed nears, Katy has worked herself into a state that when she utters I love You to Garrett and he does not respond that is ready to get a divorce. The next morning she is ready to call the lawyers - even though she admits to herself she really loves him.
I am sorry, Katy is such a PAIN....I just do not enjoy this sort of Katy/MS Hyde personality she suddenly manifests. It really bad character development and it hurts the book from point one.
Its a reprint, so if you must read all of JAK - then try the library or get it used.

I enjoyed this book very much. I like that she decided to work at their relationship and not give up just because it did not go along the lines of that perfect beginning she created in her head. I liked that all of their issues were settled almost as they happen and not dragged out through the entire book.

Quintessential Jayne Ann Krentz. You can while away an afternoon with this book. A traditional romantic plot with a satisfying but not unexpected resolution.
