A Good Read!
While The Fortune Hunter is not a perfect book, it's still a pretty good one. For one thing, the romance is burning hot but never crosses the line into ick territory. The author maintains focus on the appealing main couple while introducing other interesting characters (Trinity and Josie) that will undoubtedly appear in future books. This is hard to do well--too often the other characters 1)are annoying or 2)steal the show. Haynes avoids both romance series pitfalls. One thing that kept this book from five stars was Connor. I always felt distanced from him, like he could have been more fully fleshed out. Faith, on the other hand, is a great character: a super-rich, kindly, and insecure K5 teacher who doesn't make her bed, has weekly facials and massages, and longs for a baby. I can't wait to read Trinity's book next!

Faith Castle is a lonely heiress who loves her job as a kindergarten teacher. She's worried she'll never have children of her own. She lives in Silicon Valley, where it's a vicious social circle of haves and have nots, and they're all a bunch of cheating adulterers.
Connor Kingston is a man who came from nothing, and he wants his future children to have a better life than he had. He approaches Faith with a proposition: marriage, absolute fidelity and monogamy, no pain or humiliation, the children she wants, a caring father, and a good solid prenuptial agreement. In exchange, she will convince her father to let him run the company, and will give him whatever wild and kinky sex he wants, as often as he wants. Although he doesn't love her, he definitely desires her, and that's more than she would have expected. His honesty is refreshing, so she accepts his outlandish proposal.
Faith discovers that Connor isn't the opportunistic mercenary manipulator he appears to be. Orphaned and alone in the world, he learned early on that you can't rely on others to give you what you need - you have to get it for yourself. It's easy for Faith to fall in love with a man like that. But will he ever love her back?
I love the way Connor treats Faith right from the beginning. He's honest about not being in love, so it's not like he's being a weasel and lying to her. He treats her with respect and even affection, and he has no shortage of genuine desire for her.
Faith is terrified of what Connor makes her feel, because without the security of love he has the power to take it all away from her. Because she hasn't known him very long, her reluctance is understandable. At the same time, her willingness to try and trust him is admirable.
Both characters are very likeable and intelligent, and the heat between them could melt polar icecaps. I love to see how Faith blossoms as a result of her growing confidence. Everything about this book is fantastic. I loved the author's voice and the pace kept me interested throughout. The Fortune Hunter by Jasmine Haynes is very highly recommended for anyone who likes a really good, spicy contemporary romance.

Not your typical erotic romance.
When it comes to erotic romance Jasmine Haynes sets the standard. Her characters are so very real and believable. The sex is hot and sizzling but never meaningless, and this her latest story is no exception. The plot of The Fortune Hunter (wealthy heiress meets fortune hunter) seemed more suited for a historical romance so I was pleasantly surprised at just how well it worked in a contempory setting.
Faith is the type of heroine that almost anyone can identify with. She's a very nice, normal sized woman who also happens to be a little insecure about her looks, and as a result doesn't always realize her own worth.
Connor as the not-quite reformed bad boy is the perfect hero and proves the old adge to be true that reformed bad boys make the best husbands. He's the kind of man who knows what he wants and goes after it, in spite of the fact that he doesn't believe in love it's very obvious that he quickly falls in love with his delightful new wife...
The Fortune Hunter isn't at all like your typical erotic romance, instead it's a hot, sweet, and very tender love story that will leave you believing in ever after long after the story ends.......
The trilogy continues with Show And Tell Coming July 2008 and Games People Play 2009
