What a twist!, March 16, 2007
Marvelous marvelous story with a plot twist I never expected. When I discovered the crux of the heroine's angst, it really shook me. I tried to imagine how I'd feel if I'd found myself in the same situation. It does happen to people. Read this story to see how it all pans out. Great reading!

Deeply moving story - a keeper, April 18, 2011
This is one of the most touching stories I have ever read. Rebecca Winters is one of my favorite authors and she has outdone herself with this book. The couple, Tracey and Julien, share a very rare, deep, powerful, abiding love. They had to wait a long time until they could finally be together - Tracey is ten years younger than Julien and he wanted to please her father by waiting for her to grow up. They spent a lot of time together, but had a purely platonic relationship until Tracey graduated from college, at which point Julien proposed to her. A dream come true for this young woman who had been dreaming about Julien ever since she was nine years old.
The story starts over a year after their return from the most heavenly honeymoon. Tracey is in hospital because she temporarily lost her memory after an accident. A year ago, she had run away from her husband, after receiving the most terrible news. She had given birth to the most adorable triplets a month before the accident. So she lost many months with her precious babys. Julien wants to win her back - because he senses that his wife still loves him. It was wonderful to see how this appealing, strong-willed man continued to fight for their marriage, even when every circumstance seemed to be against their staying a little family. The scenes with the triplets were heartwarming. I found this to be a very moving, heartwrenching story with a beautiful ending - one of my favorite Rebecca Winters books and definitely a keeper.

From the back cover:
It wasn't just trouble that came in threes...
Despite her amnesia, Tracey can't forget one thing--the devastating secret that forced her to run out on Julien Chappelle four days after their honeymoon. She wants a divorce. Julien wants his wife back. And he's prepared to fight for her: he'll agree to a divorce if Tracey will live with him for thirty days...and nights!
But what Tracey hasn't counted on is that Julien has more than just memories on his side. A set of adorable triplets who need their mom to come home. It seems Tracey has only one motive for leaving and three compelling reasons why she should stay...
And my review:
I bought this book only because it had Rebecca Winter's name on it. I've found her romances to be sweet and heart-warming, as well as family oriented.
One thing I didn't like was Tracey's inital lame excuses as to why she wanted out of the marriage. The "I just don't want to be married anymore" excuse doesn't fly with me, so I had a hard time liking the heroine at first. Later, after her real reason becomes clear (I won't give it away, but it's a compelling one), a big 'ick' factor kicked in. The reason they couldn't be together was one that grossed me out.
Later, of course, it turned out to be a big misunderstanding, but that revelation came so late that I could really enjoy the romance between Julien and Tracey, as the 'ick' part of it had left too much 'gross-out' residue, so to speak.
I will probably try more of this author's work in the future, but this book was not one of her best.
