I have read a lot of Harlequin Presents and other Harlequin books but I must say this was the first one that really made me mad and upset that a woman would take all the abusive treatment this woman did. The hero in this book, no I won't call him a hero because he was nothing like a hero, he was more a vicious, egotistic, maniacal, insult-sprewing, man that took every advantage of his ex-wife. He wouldn't acknowledge his son because he "thought" he couldn't have kids and then for some reason which I never caught in this book he decides he wants them back in his life and pulls every dirty trick to get them there. What bothers me most about these weak-willed women is they will suffer all the verbal abuse and emotional abuse their partner can dish out but the minute he looks at her or in this case holds her hand or brushes against her thigh, she melts and she falls into his arms. Where is the back-bone in some of these women? Some of these books have them but this one was really the worst that I have read to date, hence the 2 stars. Sorry, but that's the way I saw it.

Perhaps it's because it's my third Jacqueline Baird book in a week, but this book was fairly disappointing.

Abby and Nick were married and when they finally got to the stage of trying to have a baby, Nick stopped sleeping with her and openly started seeing other women. Eventually Abby left him but not before she got pregnant. Nick denies all claims to the child and divorces Abby charging her with abandonment.

Four years later Nick is back in her life claiming that he was stupid to have lost her all those years ago and wanting his son and to be married to her again. According to his secretary/girlfriend who he'd been sleeping with before during and after their marriage, Nick needed a son in order to inherit his father's controlling shares in the company. He needed one before the old man died, a near event, and what better than a ready-made one?

Abby winds up blackmailed into marrying him again but despite the fact that Nick couldn't remain faithful, was it possible for them to have a relationship?

The answer is yes, because even though Nick is the dregs of the male species, she loves him and she wants it to work.

I wanted to like Nick, I liked all the heroes in Jacqueline Baird's previous books, but I just couldn't like him. His reasons for the other women were so stupid. He found out he couldn't have children so stops sleeping with his wife and pretends that he's sleeping with other women so she'd hate him and leave him? All because he knew how much she wanted children? It's more believable that he stopped sleeping with her and went out sleeping with all the women he could just to prove he was still a man. He then has the nerve to call her out about sleeping with all sorts of men, and is pissed at her for not trusting him.

There is really no insight as to why Abby would stay with him or why she would try to make it work, and there was nothing about Nick that really made you believe that what he says happened is what really happened.

When she thinks that he might remain faithful to her because it was becoming too dangerous *see STDs* to be sleeping around all the time, it went from maybe it'll have some redemption to nothing will help this book.

I gave it three stars because the beginning of the book had a lot of potential and Jacqueline Baird has a really good writing style.
I read this book years ago and it haunted me. I recently looked for the book and found it on , easily a top steamy romance novel. Love that I was able to find it after all these years. It is worth the purchase!
Boy some alpha male BS. He seems to have a couple of affairs while married to h. Hate the male thoughts on why he did that. Why not communicate? But she does leave him. Later when they get back together others made is seem like she left him with out a valid reason. Why didn't she tell them the facts as she knew them, not take the flake from others. I would have. Still liked the story and how they came back together in the end. No spoilers here it is a Harlequin after all.
Actually, I liked this book except for the treatment of the secretary. If not the heroine of a book, secretaries are always painted to be after the boss. No exception here. I wished the secretary's lies (when Nick gave her the gold bracelet) to Abby in the ladies' restroom would've came out. The woman should've been fired, not promoted to a job in NY.
Not so sure about this book Not a fan of the hero. Hero rejected Heroine and her unborn baby. Looked up his ex-wife years later and wanted them back. Writer did try to capture my attention with quick pace but just not a fan of the hero.
