1) Mass Market Paperback Book Wildest Hearts by Pocket. If you´ve read her Amanda Quick novels, this contemporary story is almost the exact replica of the novel, "Scandal".

Heroine proposes to hero, who has a hidden agenda. Of course he´s rich and he has almost the same history as "Scandal", whose father has gotten into debt and gets out of the picture leaving the family to deal w/ the debt, and the oldest child having to pay back debts that his father´s friends/business associates want paid right away. Of course hero grows up and wants vengence for this when he grows up. But his plans get waylaid when heroine interferes and convinces hero that vengence is not the right path.

The book is so similar that a couple of times I caught myself looking at the cover to make sure I had the right book. The only difference in this book is that one is set in contemporary times and the other in historical time.¤

2) Mass Market Paperback Book Wildest Hearts by Pocket. I heard that this was Krentz´s best novel and it was great! Oliver was such a unique character and he just melted for Annie. While Annie was a bit outrageous (discussing their sex life problems with ex-boyfriends????), she was the perfect complement to Oliver´s coldness.

Krentz leaves you with a warm fuzzy feeling after her novels (like Julie Garwood). You can´t miss this one!¤

3) Mass Market Paperback Book Wildest Hearts by Pocket. Some might think that the characters in "Wildest Hearts" are boring and cliché, but JAK is known for her particular style of characterization, which obviously works considering the large JAK following. In "Wildest Hearts," Oliver Rain and Annie Lyncroft exhibit JAK characterization at its best. Oliver like so many of JAK´s heroes is aloof, controlled, business savvy and sexy. Annie is an original. She is also intensely loyal. Unlike so many romance novels which focus on the "lovely" and "beautiful" virginal "miss," JAK waxes less on the physical and more on the sexual and romantic tension between the protagonists. Among my favourite JAK books are the ones published by Pocket Books. A lot of these books have Seattle as a backdrop. Those who know Seattle know that it´s full of quirky out-of-the-box people. This unique backdrop is evident throughout "Wildest Hearts." Note for instance, Ella Presswood, Melvin Finch et al. JAK even has Oliver doing yoga. Characterization aside, "Wildest Hearts" is a great story. It moves smoothly without superfluous side stories, and even includes elements of suspense. For those who consider themselves loyal JAK fans, "Wildest Hearts" is a sure winner!¤

4) Mass Market Paperback Book Wildest Hearts by Pocket. I have read a few stories by Amanda Quick and was unimpressed. Recently I picked up a book by Jane Ann Krentz and found it to be not to bad... must have been the exception. I picked up a few other books by her under the assumption that she wrote better in the present tense and went with that idea. Boy was I wrong. Not to shun or critized Ms. Krentz but I found the writing in this book to be stereo typical romance novel. The characters were not convincing and I could not believe any of them. This book had potetial... the plot itself was great but the characters never really came alive. I agree with another respondant that Bolt was the saving grace of this book!
Don´t waste your money, if you MUST read it get it from the public library!¤

5) Mass Market Paperback Book Wildest Hearts by Pocket. This is an excellent read. Annie and Oliver are great.

Oliver carries the weight of the world on his shoulders. Annie is the perfect person to help him carry that weight.

This is a classic JAK novel. Slightly quirky characters. Suspense. Great dialog.

If you haven´t read it, read it. If you have read it, read it again.¤

6) Mass Market Paperback Book Wildest Hearts by Pocket.

Annie Lyncroft knew her scheme was outrageous. She´d come to the elegant penthouse to meet Oliver Rain, the richest and possibly the most dangerous man in the Pacific Northwest. Annie needed this sensual, secretive corporate maverick for what she was about to propose. Marriage!

With her brother Danny missing after a mysterious plane crash, Annie is struggling to protect his hot electronics company from the sharks who think he´s not coming back. But fanciful, ethical Annie -- who usually runs a bizarre bric-a-brac shop knows Danny´s alive, and she´s determined to keep his company safe by putting his biggest investor at the helm. When Oliver actually says yes to the marriage of convenience, Annie dreamily envisions a few platonic weeks of helping him become a sensitive New Age guy. Oliver has a different plan; his cold, gorgeous eyes have been watching Annie, and he sees his chance to seduce the beautiful schemer. Love is the wild card destined to teach these two strong-willed opposites a lesson: icy control might run the business world, but all hell is about to break loose in the passionate territory of the heart.¤
