Bk #62--My thoughts: I really like Ms. Wyatt's writing style and voice. There's such a seemless flow and the stories seem so authentic.

4 Stars! ~~~ This is a story you can lose yourself in and when you reach the end, you’ll be left with a warm feeling and a smile.

His Secret Past by Ellen Hartman

Harlequin SuperRomance #1491 ~ May 2008

.

Except for the screw-up listed below, this book drew me in and kept me there! It's the story of first love and what should have been. Only it didn't happen that way. Jesse Calder's final words to 19 yr old Abby was that he'd be back. But due to a horrific accident, he couldn't keep his promise right away. And when he was finally able to contact her, he was told to stay away - that she'd married someone else. But 7 yrs later, unrecognizable due to the accident, he's back.

And this time, he not only falls for Abby again, but for her daughter as well who just happens to have familiar blue eyes.

This was a heartfelt tale about a divorcee devoted to raising her 12-year-old daughter while resisting the advances of her daughter's sexy chaperone, Mr. Mendez. A well-executed, well-written tale of a mother's inner conflict. Coming November 2008.
