Molly's probably my favorite heroine of my recent Krentz binge. She's tough and insightful and courageous and able to strike that balance between helping somebody and trying to take over their life.I'm not as sanguine about Harry. Oh, I liked his personality a lot. He's single minded and determined and obsessively rational, but also kind and deeply committed to helping other people, even when he gets nothing in return. Indeed, it's only through Molly's intervention that the people around him"Weird."That's the first thing that came to mind when I started reading 'Absolutely, Positively'. It's a contemporary romance that borders on the paranormal level. There's a Sherlock type hero with a dysfunctional family and a heroine from a line of inventors. There'sweird products and gadgets.I found it delightfully weird, but it's weirdness isn't enough to warrant a 5 star review from me.
Absolutely Positively by Jayne Krentz is a modern romance with a slight hint of paranormal possibilities and the house created by the heroines father, who could have been described as a mad scientist/inventor. Many of his inventions worked well but were not ideal for the marketplace. Molly Abberwick owns a tea & spice store and manages a large trust fund named for her late father. The purpose of the trust is to fund likely inventions, as her father frequently could not find the financial
3.5* but I'm rounding up this time for Goodreads. I sometimes round down, it just depends on how the book felt overall. Sometimes it doesn't do to over-analyze why I enjoy some books more than the writing and plot dictates I should, but there you go. I enjoyed this book, really loved the main characters even though Harry was a bit too uptight. ;-) I generally hate obnoxious, manipulative relatives, but I have to say, Krentz pulled it off here because of the great way Molly and Harry handled
I was skeptical about it when I started .. the inventions .. the theories .. the business talk .. it sounded a little boring at the beginning but then I got to know the characters and before I knew it I found myself enjoying everything about them. Molly was E.P.I.C , I laughed out loud at her quirky ways .. like really really laughed .. the way she handled Harry's family was hilarius .. and I especially loved the faith she had in herself and in Harry , awesome heroine. Harry was a very strange
Charming. Fantastic. Not what I expected at all. If you've never read Krentz, this isn't a bad place to start.
I always enjoy this quirky story, mostly because of the two main characters. Molly is smart, hard working, knows her own mind and doesn't care if others think she's a little odd. So she's open to appreciating Max, who is an academic genius but frequently misunderstood. I like the way their families are important, but in different ways, and how Molly sticks up for Harry. There's some of the author's favorite psychic stuff going on, which I don't care for, but not enough to put me off the story.
