THE GUINESS GANG

The gift he left behind…

I'LL BE BACK FOR YOU…

An unspoken promise from years before was all Suzanne Montgomery had to get her through the hard times. But get through them she did, because she knew it was only a matter of time until Garret Guiness walked back into her life.

And now Garret was back on her doorstep—though he didn't exactly walk in. He came equipped with a multitude of injuries and not a clue as to how he had gotten them. So maybe the only way he could remember was to leave her once again—with the promise, of course, that he would be back for her.

Sometimes the more things change…

THE GUINESS GANG. Four brothers and a sister—though miles separated them, they would always be a family.

This review is from: The One Worth Waiting For (The Guiness Gang) (Silhouette Intimate Moments, No 713) (Paperback)

This is the fourth book in The Guiness Gang series. Fifteen years ago Garret Guiness promised that someday he would return to Maddensfield and Suzanne Montgomery. The only thing that got Suzanne through the bad times was that someday Garret would return. The last thing that she expected was that when he returned it would be half dead. Garret is a Navy Seal and has barely seen his family and hardly returns home. His very dangerous job is his life until he is shot in the back. By the time he shows up at Suzanne's he is feverish, bruised, shot, dehydrated, has an onset of malnutrition, and a severe concussion. As if all that wasn't bad enough he also suffers from temporary partial amnesia. He knows that someone is after him and that he and his family are in danger. Garret has no idea, however, who is after him or why.

Suzanne has loved Garret for as long as she can remember. She insists on helping him while he is hurt and sick. She also allows him to stay in her home until his memory returns and he knows what the danger is that he is facing. However, Suzanne does try to remain some emotional and physical distance. She has spent the past fifteen years praying for Garret to come home and knows that if she let him he will only hurt her when he leaves again. Garret and Suzanne try hard to keep their distance, but it becomes more difficult with each day.

Out of the series this is probably my favorite. This is not your typical amnesia story. Garret only misses parts of his memory over the past two years, but almost immediately starts to recover bits and pieces of it. I liked that the big tough Garret shows up vulnerable and wounded for Suzanne to care for. Not only was the romance a very hot element in this story, but so was the danger. Someone shot Garret and you know it is only a matter of time before that someone shows up again. This was a great addition to the series and I cannot wait for Jake's story, the next book.
