WHAT IS IT WITH THESE WOMEN! Compromise is such a little word,
By
This review is from: The Sergeant's Baby (Harlequin American Romance) (Mass Market Paperback)
I can't stand these women who put a career before family.
But I can definitely understand the need to be able to support oneself. We are led threw the angst and misunderstandings that Danny Murphey and Ally Carter go through. <g>. But, good grief, she is six months pregnant. And she slowly gets the idea of what a pregnant woman has to endure and appreciate what a spouse can contribute. When a buddy of his got killed and the wife had no way of supporting herself Danny began to understand Ally's insistance on holding a job. Just Ally's tone of insistance through-out the book grated on me as more than half ego at first. But Danny was slated to be sent to the East soon and he wanted to marry Ally and give his child his name, plus the fact that he still loved her. Two wasted years because Ally walked out of their planned wedding but then she hooked up with him again six months ago. You might call this a follow-up to SERGEANT DARLING as Ray Darling his wife, Patsy have a cameo appearance in this book. It is a very entertaining read if you can hack the emotional disturbances created by Ally. I guess I am looking for a bit more maturity in these females. Anyway it is worth reading.

4.0 out of 5 stars
interesting military romance,
This review is from: The Sergeant's Baby (Harlequin American Romance) (Mass Market Paperback)
Air Force Sergeant Danny Murphey believes he has found the woman for him as he loves Allison Carter; she reciprocates but they disagree over whether she should work. He insists no Murphey female ever held a job and his will follow tradition; she says that she enjoys working and will continue to do so. She leaves when her obstinate beloved cannot understand how important her work is.
In Fayetteville, North Carolina, Ally, whose mother comes from the Middle-Eastern country Tamahykla, is a civil servant teaching students at the Military Deployment Readiness School on the culture shock they will face when deployed to the Middle East. In her current class is her former lover Danny, who seeing she is several months pregnant, angrily concludes that she dumped him for a new lover until he confronts her; He believes the child she carries is his and plans to be in both their lives. Ally still loves the gruff NCO, but refuses to spend her life barefoot and pregnant at her master's beck and call. THE SERGEANT'S BABY is an interesting military romance starring a likable heroine and an unlikable throwback cretin. The story line centers on the battle between the sexes, which is fun to follow. It is difficult to accept a sergeant in the modern military in which females fly bombers and serve as MPs in the combat zones would have difficulty allowing his spouse to teach even if family tradition says otherwise. Still Bonnie Gardner writes a fine tale that enables her audience to glimpse at what the military tries to do as part of soldier and unit readiness prior to troops deploying. Harriet Klausner
