The Desperate Game (Guinevere Jones)

Rating:
Summary: Good early work by JAK
Review: This is the first book in the Jayne Castle(Jayne Ann Krentz) Guinevere Jones series. Gwen Jones owns a temporary employment agency. Zac Justis run Free Enterprise Security Inc. He's investigating lost equipment shipments for a firm that she worked for and wants her help to find out who the culprit is. She's got personal reasons for hating StarrTech and it's owner. The two agree to work together and soon realize they want to share more than business! I really enjoyed the relationship between Gwen and Zac. Because this is a 4 book series, things develop slowly and the mystery/who-dun-it is the focus with the romance slightly(but not too far) in the background. As in many other romances, the hero and heroine are wary of each other and admitting their feelings. I enjoyed the banter between the characters and liked the fact that they were both struggling small business owners who needed to work for a living. A wonderful way to spend a rainy day or a cold winter night!
