Synopsis (Goodreads):
Desdemona Wainwright didn’t want to be in Sam Stark’s office, but her catering business was at stake. Someone had to pay the bill, and she wasn’t going to leave until she had a check from Sam Stark. It wasn’t her fault he was jilted at the altar.Thoughts on Trust Me: Another re-read. Not my favorite in my foray into JAK classics, but pretty solid all the same. Well, I mean except for the computer stuff. Things have changed quite a bit technology wise in the 20+ years since this book was pubbed and that was a little dated. Regardless, it was fun. (And I got a kick out of how Desdemona didn't know how to use email, so there's that!)
Stark can’t believe he’s sharing details of his life with a caterer. He’s a private person, not one to have long, meaningful conversations with a complete stranger. So when Desdemona asks him, on a whim, to join her that evening for a play…he surprises himself by saying yes. A much bigger shock awaits—he’s about to meet Desdemona’s unusual family…
So. Desdemona and Stark. He's logical and measured, she's from a long line of dramatic theater-people. They're light years apart in temperament (and Stark dealing with the Wainwright clan was pretty fun to watch!), but they fit well together. Mostly because Desdemona sees deeper into Stark than most people would be willing to look.
We got some high-stakes espionage (although that's not exactly the word I'm looking for), a little case of murder, a little more betrayal, and a few steamy encounters that rock both Stark and Desdemona's worlds. I'm genuinely enjoying diving back into these older JAK books and experiencing them all over again.
