Great Graham,

This review is from: A Fiery Baptism/Large Print (Hardcover)
Wow! excellent book. Sarah and her husband Alejandro or whatever, he has soooo many names, :) have been separated for several years. Her parents are control freaks who didn't want them to marry and the hubby did not bow and scrape to them, so they did everything to get her to leave this man, who really loved her.She thinks he already knows that she had twins after they separated. He does not. Back when they were first married, her mother played sick to entice Sarah home and she fell for it. After waiting and waiting for Sarah to get a clue about Mom's hypochondria, Alejandro then gave her an ultimatum: come home to me or stay there with your parents. She didn't leave her parents within his 2 day deadline and then her father produces incriminating photos of a woman leaving Alejandro's hotel room. There's an explanation for it, but you don't get it until later in the book. Sarah had been so insulated from real life by her smothering, wacked-out parents that she couldn't deal with a demonstrative husband. Even though she loved him, they didn't have a good sexual relationship. That all changes as soon as he finds out about their kids and gets her to come back to him for the kids' sake. It sounds odd, but Lynne Graham makes it work. Once you think about how young this woman was when she married him, you can understand why Sarah closed down emotionally. She went from controlling, stern parents to her new husband, who was outgoing, volatile and also bossy in his own way toward her. Since she hasn't known unconditional love, she never grew to trust even her husband. Wonderful story, cute kids who, thankfully, do not take over the story. Alejandro, besides his opening maneuvering to get his wife back, does not come across as cold, unemotional, and a hateful misogynist, as all too many of these Harlequin Presents husbands do. I mean, WHY would a woman put up with all their bull? Not in this century, babe! Along that line, Sarah shocks Alejandro with her new, let-it-all-hang-out remarks to him. There's a priceless conversation she has with him after she's had a few too many drinks, when she really tells him how the cow ate the cabbage, as we Southerners would say. She tells it like it is and doesn't spare his feelings, in other words :) Another keeper from Lynne Graham.
