An emotionally charged story...........,

This review is from: Her Little Secret : Women in Blue (Harlequin Superromance, No. 1248) (Mass Market Paperback)
Her Little Secret by Anna Adams
Harlequin Super Romance # 1248 - January 2005 Women in Blue - Book # 4 Abby had dropped out of the Academy to follow the love of her life to North Carolina. But when Thomas kept his career in the Special Forces always before her, and Abby miscarried the baby he knew nothing about, she returned to Houston and the Academy. Now she's part of the Houston PD Crisis Intervention Team and loving the difference she's making. Now six years later, Thomas shows up on her doorstep, wounded both physically and emotionally. He needs Abby to help him put himself together again. The Forces shrinks have all given him a green light, but he knows that he's far from able to lead his men back into combat and he's terrified. Gone is the arrogant soldier, the man who stands before Abby is humble and broken. This is an emotionally charged story. Abby had alot of baggage before Thomas came back into her life, and yet she can't turn him away when he reaches out for her help. Thomas has always loved Abby and had never really understood why she left him. Now he's forced to learn some truths and he learns first hand what worry is, when Abby faces real danger on the job.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Fine police procedural romance,
This review is from: Her Little Secret : Women in Blue (Harlequin Superromance, No. 1248) (Mass Market Paperback)
She left the police force for love, but six years ago Abby Carlton gave up on her fiancé Thomas Riley. She concluded he was unable to balance his work as a soldier with a loving family relationship with her. His duty to country always came first, second and last; she did not make the bottom rung of the food chain. She moved to Houston returning to the force. Currently she works on the Houston Crisis Intervention Team.
Thomas is back begging her to help him as he has no one else to turn to. He explains he lost his arrogance when he hesitated on a rescue mission; three of his team, a woman, children, and a cleric died. Abby is unable to say no, but soon their love rekindles. However, Abby knows he will leave and though she now carries his child, she plans to raise the child alone. Perhaps it was the deadly incident or his second chance, but Thomas knows what he lost and refuses to allow déjà vu to occur, but must persuade his beloved woman in blue to give him another chance. This fine police procedural romance stars a wonderful female protagonist and guilt wracked male needing her hugs, warmth, and love to help him cope with a form of battle fatigue syndrome caused by a failed mission leading to deaths. The story line grips the audience as Abby and Thomas battle their attraction even as she helps him accept he is not superman. A subplot involving another of the Women in Blue seems out of the blue; still HER LITTLE SECRET is a fine tale focusing on how difficult it is for a dedicated military person to keep a family.

Good but a little bit disappointed,

This review is from: Her Little Secret : Women in Blue (Harlequin Superromance, No. 1248) (Mass Market Paperback)
I loved the last book by Anna Adams so much I ordered this one but so far I'm disappointed - a very good author but this book is a little scattered and some scenes (i.e. the bipolar mother and irate father) seemed ludicrous - I definitely will buy another one of the author's books and give it a try but I'm sorry to say this one was a little disappointing. The three stars should probably be four stars relative to other authors but wanted to balance the other five star rating.
