Book Description

Series: Silhouette Desire | Publication Date: April 1, 2004

HER SECRET WAS OUT!

They shared a brief, passionate affair, before Agent Frank Latimer moved on to his next mission. Leenie hadn't expected anything more from Frank than those beautiful encounters they shared. Until she gave birth to his child, and wondered about the wisdom of keeping his baby secret. Especially when her son was kidnapped!

Frank would have punished Leenie for keeping the truth about his son from him, if he weren't hell-bent on bringing his boy home. And he would. Once he did, he planned on letting independent Leenie know just what he thought about her betrayal. Right after he put out the other fire that still raged passionately between them...

I love Beverly Barton, but this is just one of the same old things. One man, one woman, one night = one baby. Of course the baby is kidnapped and then the father is the only one who can help find her, or him in this case.

I will say it is nice to hear a man admit that it wasn't all her fault. He can accept that he is equally at fault for the pregnancy. However, He can't be a loving husband and father because of a bad experience with his first wife.

The Protectors is a good series. But this plot has been done to death, and even Beverly barton can't save it.

I wonder if it is a set-up for her next book. Maybe about Kate or Dante.

A very so-so read.

2.0 out of 5 stars Kidnapping is not light reading~, May 13, 2004

Having never read anything by Beverly Barton, I'm unlikely to pick up another one after reading "Keeping Baby Secret." The first half of the book deals with the kidnapping of the heroine's 2-month old child! This is NOT a subject matter for light reading, nor would any normal mother be able to "get over" this kind of trauma to fall in love with the baby's father in a few days! I liked Frank very much and appreciated that this couple was not young and dewey-eyed. Still ... kidnapping? And the shameless 'set-up' of two characters for (no doubt) another novel bothered me--it just came out of the blue! And PLEASE, when selecting a name for the heroine in your next book, pick something other than Lurleen (with a nickname of Leenie). I found this name, in itself, very distracting. Not a keeper for me...
