No terrorist attacks, no kinky sex, no convoluted and barely comprehensive plot lines ... love it! Krentz has put together a story about relationships, personal and professional.

No terrorist attacks, no kinky sex, no convoluted and barely comprehensive plot lines ... love it! Krentz has put together a story about relationships, personal and professional. This may be an oldie but it is a really good page turner. Heroine is a librarian who inherits her great uncle's sporting goods company, dumps a jerk fiance and her job to move cross country, take over the inheritance and start a new life. She's also looking to add passion to her life. The hero is peeved because the great uncle's promises to sell the company to the hero are complicated by his death and it is willed to the niece. Joel built the company while great uncle's time was spent fishing. To add to the problem, our hero planned for vengeance against an old enemy when he took over. His plans were upended when she arrived and proved to be smarter and cuter than he expected. Romance ensues of course and problems are attacked by novel methods and by a great cast of memorable characters.

The writing is good, but this book shows its age in its hero character. Macho male who thinks he has to be all he-mannish and to keep the little lady uninformed, et cetera.
Not at all about dominance in the physical/sexual arena, but, more than thirty years ago when this book was written, the male lead was written to be just the sort of man whom literary augents and publishing houses believed buyers of romance novels wanted and expected. Thus, this book now isn't of the top quality of this a...

The writing is good, but this book shows its age in its hero character. Macho male who thinks he has to be all he-mannish and to keep the little lady uninformed, et cetera.
Not at all about dominance in the physical/sexual arena, but, more than thirty years ago when this book was written, the male lead was written to be just the sort of man whom literary augents and publishing houses believed buyers of romance novels wanted and expected. Thus, this book now isn't of the top quality of this author's more recent work. But if you can choose to be amused instead of affronted, it can be a fun read anyway.🤳📖
