This is my favorite Jayne Ann Krentz novel.

********CAUTION POSSIBLE SPOILERS AHEAD> PLEASE STOP NOW IF YOU DON"T WANT READ ANY SPOILERS>THANKS**********

Hero is dark and brooding. He is an orphan that, bottom line, just wants a loving family. He tries to work hard to please those around him and "never screw up" so he can feel accepted. He doesn't know what is love and is not part of his vocabulary. All he has is this intense need to be useful so he can feel like he belongs. He lives in constant fear of being rejected. He is ruthless in wanting to get what he wants...a family. Before he met the heroine he was lost and trying to fit into a family that were to afraid to let him in. They knew that if they gave him any power he would take over and take away something that has been in the family for generations.

So the mentor that took him in and he worked so hard to part of his family hides some paintings in a bed and breakfast. This is not just any bed and breakfast. No this particular place is a haven for lost souls. The owner herself has traumatic history and has managed to collect lost souls along the way to create a cute, misfit of a family. The hero comes into the bed and breakfast to get the paintings but came out with something move valuable: a family.

I loved this book. The heroine was really sweet, bubbly and quirky. She was loyal to the hero, once they got together. Hero was head over heels in love with the heroine, but did not even know it. He was desperate to become part of her family and was very persistent in his quest to integrate himself into her life. The more the story progressed the more demanding and overwhelming he read. Heroine took it all in strike and was the balm to his high octane, anxiety peaking, insecure emotions. She is definable someone I would love to meet and becomes friend's with.

The love story also has two suspenseful stories that are well written into this loves story. You have someone trying to kill the heroine and the family that never accepted the hero trying to win him back to the company. Everything was well balanced and I never felt that the suspense took away from the story line. The main drive was how the H/h developed in their relationship.

The love scenes were hawt. In my opinion, one of the best sexual books Ms. Krentz has written. They are not numerous but they are well written and add to the intensity of the hero's emotions towards the heroine. The hero is heroine's first. She was saving herself for Mr. Right. It was her way of coming with her trauma. She had no regrets and their first love scene was very intense and beautifully written. The humor in this book I subtle but very entertaining. The climax scene was very exciting and I didn't see the bad guy coming until he is revealed at the end. There is nothing I did not love about this novel.

One of the best contemporary romance novels I have ever read. It had it all: suspense, action, hero literally saving the heroine, heroine figuratively saving the hero, steaming hawt love scenes, excellent dialogue, wonderful secondary characters, fast paced read, and great chemistry btwn H/h. I can't recommend this read enough. It is a safe read. The love develops well over time btwn the H/h but what a finish!

Grand Passion Jayne Ann Krentz 9780743482875 Books Reviews

Jayne Ann Krentz has once again shown her mastery over a large group of well-developed characters, weaving a mystery and a romance of great quality. Even when I thought I'd solved the mystery, it was the journey that unfolded for the characters that made it worth the trip. Jayne's secondary characters have a wealth of detail and care, making many of them someone you'd like to meet. The romance has an interesting angle that keeps you wanting to see the next step in their relationship. A very satisfying read.
This is one of the earlier Jayne Ann Krentz novels during her time period that she thought readers were primarily interested in down and dirty sex scenes rather than a good storyline, so glad she has evolved. Later Krentz novels still have the romance, but have a good plot and more to offer than the earlier ones. Became bored early in the book at the hot tub adventure and not sure I'll even bother to continue reading this novel. I don't consider "Grand Passion" too grand!
This was a solid book. The plot kept me interested and I liked both the hero and heroine, Max and Cleo.
Max is a rich but lonely business man who desperately wants to belong to a family but doesn't know the first thing about being a part of one. Getting bounced from one foster home to another as a child taught him that possessions are the only things he can be sure won't leave him. When the story begins, art is the only thing that stirs any sense of passion in Max.

Cleo is a young and generous innkeeper/writer who has lived through the tragic death of her parents. Orphaned in her twenties, she assembles a new family made up of close-knit friends who all work at her inn. Max's mentor, Jason was an accepted member of that "family" prior to his death. Cleo and the gang had no idea that Jason was secretly a billionaire hotel mogul when he wasn't at the inn with them.

When Jason dies, he says that he's bequeathing Max five valuable paintings and that they're at Cleo's inn. Max jumps to the conclusion that Cleo must have been Jason's mistress and even after he meets the twenty-something Cleo, Max still assumes she must be secretly cold and calculating. Especially when Max asks about the paintings and Cleo claims to have no knowledge of them.

The rest of the book, and their relationship, moves quickly. Cleo is basically ripe for the sexual picking and so open-hearted that there's never any doubt how she feels. Even when Max does things that should raise her suspicions, Cleo gives him the benefit of the doubt and believes the best of him. It takes Max much longer to trust the relationship because of his past, and even after he admits to himself how much he needs Cleo, his thoughts are of finding ways to permanently bind her to him so that she'll never leave him.

All in all it was a satisfying read. Max was a good hero. He was confident and take-charge without being abusive or overbearing, and by the end he'd learned to open himself up to Cleo and the family. Cleo was a good heroine and the rest of the family members were fun additions. The villain was a little easy to spot and his motivations only got tossed in at the very end like an afterthought but it was sufficient to give a decent finale to the story.
This is my favorite Jayne Ann Krentz novel.
