Talk about an oldie. This book was originally published in June 1990 and yes, I bought it then. For some reason, I had a reading slump a few days ago and my solution is always to read something that I know I will enjoy. Needless to say, that means pick up a Jayne Ann Krentz regardless of what name it is written under.
She has always written alpha males and strong females. Her earlier books sometimes make me (and the heroine) want to “Gibbs” the guy in the back of the head, they can be so controlling. (If you’re a NCIS fan, you’ll get what I mean.) Even so, I love them and I love that I can depend on JAK no matter what she writes.
So, a quote to demonstrate the relationship and the fact that JAK can always interject a little humor when it is needed.
“I want you to marry me. But I want you to come to me willingly, Maggie, love. Not because I’ve pushed you into it.” Rafe drew a quick breath and got the rash words out before he could rethink them. “Take all the time you need to make your decision.”
“So long as I come up with the right one?” Her eyes danced mischievously.
He grinned slowly, relaxing inside. “You’ve got it. So long as it’s the right one.”
And I’m over my slump. I just needed something to make me remember why I love to read so much and this book did it for me.
“Quote-Tastic Monday” is a meme hosted every Monday on Herding Cats & Burning Soup. Head on over there to see what everyone else is posting about this week.
Elaine Reads . . . constantly! 
Oh yes. She is excellent for getting out of a reading slump 😀
I have re-read her dust bunny books TWICE this year. It’s been a rough year personally and I needed the escape.
