Summary: One of JAK quirky best!
Comment: Jessie Benedict lived her childhood with a workaholic father that was never there. Oh, she was grandly provided for, but he always missed recitals, was never there for the school fairs. This shows as well in the man's two failed marriages, the ex-wives known affectionately as "the Moms" by Jessie and her half-sister. But there is a wolf on the prowl, one Jessie underestimates - Hatchard, her fathers right hand man, as far as Jessie is concerned,is a chip off the old block, so to speak. Another drive workaholic bent on filling her fathers shoes in business. He wants Vincent's business, but he might want his daughter more, but Jessie is far from convinced and is fighting the families assumption two will marry. Even "the Moms" assume this will happen.
Jessie spent her girlhood being disappointed and hiding that hurt, so she is determined her Father not do the same to her young half-sister, but she is more determined NOT to marry a man just like dear old Dad. Oh, she is wildly attracted to Hatch, but she fears her life would end with another series of being second place to the business that her father build. And she is quite set that history not repeat itself, not for her little sister, nor for her in marriage.
Being rebellious against her father, she has failed to turn out to be a business person and currently is determined to become a private investigator, by helping an old lady who is a psychic and rescuing a teenage girl from a dangerous cult. Much to her surprise, Hatch shows signs of being just a shade different than daddy. Instead of patting her on the head and ignoring her new 'business', he becomes a strong ally in helping Jessie handling her father to see the younger sister does not go through the same disappointments as Jessie to he helping smooth things for "the Moms" who always use to Jessie to run interference with Vincent, and he even supports and aids her investigations.
JAK gives you her quirky dysfunctional families that seem to function, you seen in so many of her books. The relationships are wonderful, warm and humorous, and Hatch and Jessie will steal a place in your heart.
A wonderful JAK gem!!

Comment: Another great story from Ms.Krentz.A definite re-read
Rating: 5
Summary: This is the first JAK I ever read and it is terrific!
Comment: This is the first book by JAK I ever picked up, don't know how I had missed out on her before. Please do yourself a favor and pick up this book and her other early single title mainstream romances such as Golden Chance, Silver Linings etc. Now having gone back and read much of her earlier work as well as her more recent hard covers, it is IMHO that with these books that JAK really hit her stride. Sweet Fortune is great, as are Perfect Partners and Family Man--I could go on. This book really counts as time well spent and the characters really stay with you. I've re-read Sweet Fortune many times and plan to keep it on the keeper shelf!
