Jayne Ann Krentz (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: December 1, 2001

Owen Sutherland's whirlwind courtship has left Angie Townsend breathless and in love -- and hopeful that the fierce rivalry that has divided their powerful families will finally end. She is, after all, a romantic at heart.

But now, nestled in their honeymoon suite, Angie suspects she may also be a fool. A sudden, hushed phone call warns her of the terrible truth: her marriage is a sham, nothing more than a clever corporate raid orchestrated by her powerful, handsome new husband. The very husband reaching out to lead her to their wedding bed.

Is it true? Is Owen Sutherland a calculating stranger . . . Or the man she's married for better or for worse? Until Angie knows for certain, her wedding night is on hold -- indefinitely.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good transitional novel, January 5, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: The Wedding Night (Mass Market Paperback)

This is a 1991 novel reprinted, and it defintely shows the transition of Krentz's less satisfying work of the 1980's, to the point where she was really hitting her stride (both aa Krentz and as Amanda Quick). The hero is satisfyingly desperate for his recalcitrant bride, and the heroine handles his obnoxious family in a delightfully assertive and humorous way. One can see the two main characters as more similar to the Amanda Quick hero and heroine, but they are attractive and it was fun to spend an evening with them. An older effort but worth reading.

This review is from: The Wedding Night (Mass Market Paperback)

Angie Townsend married Owen Sutherland out of love. On their wedding night, though, a phone call to her honeymoon suite and an envelope delivered to the door with a copy of a post-dated press release made her wonder if she had been played for a fool. After all, their courtship had been what the public would call a "whirlwind". And their families had been rivals in the hotel business for a long time. Had Owen married her only to con her family into merging companies? Angie decided the consummation of her new marriage would be put on hold until she found out!

**** The early works of author Jayne Ann Krentz has long been my favorites. I decided to pull out a few of them, during my short vacation, and escape for awhile. This novel (along with "Family Man") is one of the best, in my opinion. It is loaded with romance, suspense, danger, mystery, and a gothic flavor. Victoria Holt fans would especially love this one. If you have not read this story as yet, you are missing out on a terrific time! Pick up a copy! ****

5.0 out of 5 stars The Wedding Night! Can't Miss It!, February 1, 2002

This review is from: The Wedding Night (Mass Market Paperback)

This is one of the best books I've read in a long time! The characters really come alive. You can really understand Owen's frustration when Angie tells him he must prove himself before she will become in wife in every way. On the other hand you can really understand Angie's anger and fear at finding out that not only her new husband but her whole family has kept this big secret from her. You can also understand Angie's disapointment in Owen's refusal to tell her how he feels about her. All in all it was a great book that kept moving and was very true to life! Great Job Ms. Krentz!!!!
