    About this audiobook

    Jayne Ann Krentz, author of more than fifty New York Times bestsellers, expertly blends rich sensuality dangerous twists, and electrifying suspense in Grand Passion.

    What happens when Mr. Right is all wrong?

    Cleopatra Robbins has imagined the moment when she’ll meet the man of her dreams. But when Max Fortune strides into the Robbins’ Nest Inn, a devastating sensation sweeps through her. She knows it’s him. And he’s all wrong!

    Head of the giant Curzon Hotel chain, a cynical man with a passion for rare works of art, Max is looking for five priceless paintings left to him by his mentor, Jason Curzon. With one long look at Cleo Robbins, Max knows he’s gazing on a masterpiece…and for the first time in his life, the solitary and powerful executive is overcome with the strangest desire for that wonderful institution called home. But despite their mutual attraction, Max suspects Cleo of hiding something—and by the time he realizes her secrets have nothing to do with the lost treasures, it may be too late to save her from the danger rising out of her past.

    • 4/5
      Unabridged narrator is Richard Ferrone (not Susan Gibney as indicated)
    • 4/5
      Why is this old man doing the voiceover? It made the main character sound older than he actually is.
    • 5/5
      Max Fortune, CEO of a giant Arizona hotel chain, comes to the Robbin's Nest Inn looking for five priceless paintings left to him by his mentor, Jason Curzon. Max believes Cleopatra Robbins has these paintings since Jason stayed at her Inn the last years of his life. Cleo is at her wit's end. Her inn is booked full, her handyman has disappeared, and Cleo needs help. When she offers Max room and board for his help at the Inn, Max decides to stay at the inn in order to find where the paintings are hidden.

      This is a fast-moving romantic suspense. Max is a bit of a loner and finds himself accepted into the quirky family that runs Cleo's inn. The supporting characters in this book bring the story to life. The suspense is light but well-written. My rating: is 4.5 Stars.
    • 5/5
      A really great romance mystery, characterization and plot were fleshed out beautifully and there was never a dull moment
    • 4/5
      mystery, hotelier, obsession, investigation, erotica, romanceMostly this is a classic Krentz romance with the brooding semifunctional male being rescues from an emotional desert by the heroine. There's also an unusual commune, a missing inheritance, and a killer with OCD. Interesting read every ten years or so.Richard Ferrone has an interesting manner of narration.
    • 4/5
      One of Krentz's Washington coast novels, this features hotel exec Max Fortune on the trail of five valuable paintings. He's tracked them to the hotel of one Cleopatra Robbins, who denies knowing anything about them....No surprises here, but some humorous moments involving Lucky Duck, and unsinkable bath toy, and his irrepressible young owner.
    • 5/5
      another favorite; well developed hero and heroine and good tension; quirky secondary characters and snappy dialogue; a great read
