Sam Stark, a very wealthy businessman has just been stood up at the altar for the second time in two years. He can't figure out why his brides-to-be had bolted. They knew about the pre-nuptial agreement beforehand. Sam expected marriage to be a business deal; it is an expensive long-term investment and should be handled like one. Desdemona Wainwright, (she chose her name herself when she was five), is the caterer at his second fiasco and she is trying to get Sam to write the check for the melting ice swans in the garden, among other things. Sam asks her for a failure analysis, which he explains is a standard procedure after a disaster. Desdemona is really more worried about Sam paying the catering bill than any analyzing. But her sympathy is aroused and she invites him to her family's experimental theater production that evening. After all, what else does he have planned? Sam from the business world and Desdemona from the theatrical world are opposite ends of the spectrum but they click in all the right places, after the rough spots are smoothed out, of course.
Jayne Ann Krentz is my favorite author and Trust Me is a favorite title from my favorite author. Jayne's stories are funny and witty. (I call her Jayne because I have met her and she said I could do so.) The hero and the heroine have lots of differences, but the differences add to the romance - not block it. They also add to the humor. Trust Me is about family and trust and Sam learns the importance of both. Desdemona shows Sam that love and trust can grow despite suspicious activity by a family member and even murder! This is a funny delightful story, (okay I'll go with the obvious) trust me, you will enjoy this romance.
