Book Description

Superromance, 917 May 1, 2000
"Claire Ridgeway has everything - a handsome, hardworking husband of twelve years, a beautiful home in the suburbs, three delightful children she can raise without having to worry about money. Until one morning. Claire's life shatters when Kirk tells her he's in love with someone else. Her first reaction is to kick him out of the house. But he wants to try counseling. She's not sure she can forgive him. Still, she has three young daughters to think of, plus the child due in seven months- Kirk's child, their fourth. The child he doesn't even know she's carrying." This is from the back cover of the book.

More About the Author

In another life I was a chartered accountant, but the writing bug hit me hard, and now, as I am about to become an "empty-nester", I realize that I will soon be publishing my 30th book with Harlequin.

4.0 out of 5 stars Engrossing examination of a marriage in trouble, May 18, 2000

This review is from: The Fourth Child: 9 Months Later (Harlequin Superromance No. 917) (Paperback)
Claire and Kirk are a normal couple, with three rowdy daughters. He works hard and long hours, taking frequent business trips. She is a stay-at-home mom, busying with the girls and the house. When a friendship with a coworker goes too far (just short of sex), Kirk believes he has fallen in love with another woman. His timing is exquisite. Unknown to Kirk, Claire is pregnant with their fourth child. Claire throws him out, but now Kirk thinks they should get help to try and put their marriage back together.

The reactions of Claire and Kirk are dead on. It is a story of putting their marriage back together again, but it is still a love story. You learn how both think and regret past errors. Kirk's family history explains why he is struggling with his betrayal of their marriage vows. You can feel his and Claire's pain. Subplots about the eldest daughter's problems and a dear friend's shaky romance lend texture and depth to the story without detracting from the primary focus.

If you like stories with depth and feeling, buy this book. You'll soon be feeling the pain and betrayal and the need for renewal with Claire and Kirk.

5.0 out of 5 stars Marriage in trouble, May 18, 2000

Debbie K. Gilbert (North Central, Tx USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Fourth Child: 9 Months Later (Harlequin Superromance No. 917) (Paperback)
This book was wonderful story of how a couple wants to fight for the family they have. It isn't just a baby story......this book focused more on the effects of his loving another woman had on his oldest daughter and his wife. There isn't a quick fix or a kiss "I'm sorry I lied" then she forgives him either, they both have to reexamine their feels about each other and where they make the mistakes. When I tally up the books I've read at the end of the year this book will stick out on the keeper shelf.

4.0 out of 5 stars An emotional look at a troubled marriage., May 28, 2000
This review is from: The Fourth Child: 9 Months Later (Harlequin Superromance No. 917) (Paperback)
This story will tug at your heart-- can a marriage of twelve years regain its excitement, or is it doomed when the husband meets a younger woman? I sped through this story in one day, eager for the hero and heroine to realize how valuable their marriage was. There are many scenes with children in this story, but they were necessary supporting characters. A very good read!
