The Soldier & the Baby (Harlequin American Romance, No 573)

Rating:
Summary: ACTION - YEAH! - ROMANCE [CHUCKLE] ENDING - GREAT
Review: Rielly [don't think he has a last name] came from his retreat in Colorado [plenty of nieces and nephews] to rescue his friend's? wife and child.

The Central American country of San Pablo is in constant warfare, making rescue difficult. There is the black shirt renegade militia and the rogueing rebels and both factions want to kill the Mendinos grandchild.

Caterina was a spoiled, high-flying adopted daughter of the El Presidente' who had married Billy Morrissey, son of the rich Morrisseys' of DC. And now a widow.

Rielly owed Billy [never found out why] but they both had served in the Special Forces? together. Reilly was sick of killing and had gotten out.

We, very soon, meet Sister Maria Carlos in the convent where Caterina took refuge. Thus begins a rolicking good story.

Shall I give away a soon to be revealed secret? She hasn't taken her vows yet. This leads to a lot of frustration and guilt on both of their parts as the hormones kick in. She is too innocent and he is too horny. Enter the bad guys and a 4 day trip. Whoops!

Great story - you should enjoy - try it you may like it - I think a keeper.

DEFINITELY RECOMMENDED --M
