Summary: Heartfelt, Passionate...But Where's the Plot?
Review: Gayle Wilson's latest is a very emotional tale of two very real people trying to find their way to a happy ending. Abby Sterling and Nick Deandro were adversaries on the New Orleans Police force--and lovers behind closed doors. After one encounter, Nick was shot leaving Abby's apartment, an action that left him blind and unable to remember either Abby or the case that led to the shooting. Six months later, Abby--six months pregnant--asks for a less stressful assignment and is instead assigned to protect Nick, whose life is still in danger. Of course, she is reluctant to, unable to be near him when he doesn't even remember her. But she takes the case anyway, and Nick soon realizes that his new bodyguard is strangely familiar...

I thought Wilson's last book, "Remember My Touch," had a good plot, but skimped on the emotional reunion of its two main gives us plenty of real emotion, but that's all. The characters spend 225 pages growing closer, and nothing else happens. The threats to their lives are dealt with casually, and are treated rather unimportantly. It's all about the feelings, which is fine, but I needed a little more. Wilson has a lot of great scenes--most of the ones from Nick's perspective, which have to be told with a lot of descriptions that include no visuals, are extremely well done. The characters are well-developed (of course; it's not like she has to bother delevoping the plot) and easy to care about. other warily with nothing else happening. Many romance fans will probably love this book. High on the romance, light on the intrigue, it reads a lot like a Silhouette Special Edition or Intimate Moments release. But regular Intrigue readers know Wilson--and the series--can do better

Summary: Whoops! DON'T PASS THIS ONE UP!
Review: Macho Nick Deandro, an undercover agent, sent to New Orleans from New York, to show the "good ole boys" how to get things done, immediately struck sparks off of Abby Sterling.

Abby would take umbrage on most things that implied a "sexist" attitude, but tried, most of the time, to shrug off offensive remarks. [can't stand that kind of insecure attitude] She could accept their gentlemanly acts at times.

Because of the abrasive atitudes she and Nick portrayed, no one would suspect their fatal attraction to each other. Their nocturnal and secret meetings and lovemakeing [ok, sexual encounters] culminated in her pregnancy and Nick's being nearly fataly shot.

It is suspected that the "Mafia" or dirty cop put the make on Nick and needed to eliminate him. His losing his sight and memory is probably what saved him eventually.

Now, being a strong minded and willed woman to make it in the New Orleans police department, how come Abby would start to doubt her ability to raise a child or be able to accept Nick, blinded and with memory lose. Where was her faith in herself and in Nick, who she claims to love. Haa!

Nick has to fight his own demons and try to win Abby all over again as he begins to remember in bits and pieces. Sheriff Blanchard did arouse a bit of jealosy in Nick and he did add to the confusion with the contratemps between him and Maggie.

Abby's boss, Rob Andrews, maintains that no one could find Deandro at their safe house and that the alarms were state of art. Andrews was hopeing that Abby would trigger Nick's memory.
No one told Abby about the mystery woman who had been calling from pay phones to check up on Nick.

The intrigue might be considered light by some but the story was attention getting and hard to put down. The strength of the main characters make it well worth reading again.

Will definitely recommend --M PMS makes the story work but --
