4.0 out of 5 stars
3.5 stars, December 7, 2008
This review is from: Cradle and All (43 Light Street, Book 7) (Harlequin Intrigue Series #233) (Mass Market Paperback)
This is marketed as romantic suspense, but it's more straight suspense, with a side of a married couple becoming closer.
The hero's... well, I'm not exactly sure what he is. His ex-partner, though, has reneged on an arms deal, and the bad guys kidnap the hero and heroine's prematurely-newborn daughter to get the hero to find his ex-partner and deliver the goods. Yeah, I was confused, too.
The hero and heroine's emotions were very realistic--he hadn't really wanted children, which made his feelings about the premature birth and then the kidnapping more conflicted.
I liked that the heroine helped out in a reasonable way. She wasn't a military/spy expert, but she didn't either blunder around making things worse or exhibit Mad Martial Skillz. Nor did she sit back & wring her hands.
Summing it up, I'd say too much story, not enough direction.
