Inspired by his father's vision of military glory and his brother in law's diatribes aginst the Jewish conspiracy, Hans has his first taste of glory in the Polish campaign. During the years which follow on the RUssian front his private romanticism is crushed by dailyi contact with death, disease and defeat and in 1944, at the age of 24, he is transferred to Italy, having acquired a nervous tic, a collection of medals and a readiness to meet the hero's end."

Dedicated to the study of toddlers and their development of verbal skills, the Wabash Institute should be staffed by kinder, gentler scholars, but instead is home to a nest of sublimely cranky academics. When one of them is bludgeoned to death, Jeremy Cook – the Institute’s premier scholar and the book’s socially clueless hero – becomes the prime suspect. To clear his name, Cook resolves to solve the case, even if it means taking time off from his hobby of teaching imaginary words to the Institute’s tiny “subjects.” While gleefully skewering academia, Carkeet – himself a professor of linguistics – also provides a spectacularly ingenious puzzle. “Mystery stories that have a really original solution to the crime are very rare,” said the New York Times Book Review, “but Dr. Carkeet has found one.” -- from the cover of the book.

Sir Oliver Fairleigh-Stubbs, overweight and overbearing, collapses and dies at his birthday party while indulging his taste for rare liquors. He had promised his daughter he would be polite and charitable for the entire day, but the strain of such exemplary behavior was obviously too great. He leaves a family relieved to be rid of him, and he also leaves a fortune, earned as a bestselling mystery author. To everyone's surprise, Sir Oliver's elder son, who openly hated his father, inherits most of the estate. His wife, his daughter, and his younger son are each to receive the royalties from one carefully chosen book. But the manuscript of the unpublished volume left to Sir Oliver's wife -- a posthumous "last case" that might be worth millions -- has disappeared. And Sir Oliver's death is beginning to look less than natural. Into this bitter household comes Inspector Meredith, a spirited Welshman who in some ways resembles Sir Oliver's fictional hero. In Robert Barnard's skillful hands, Inspector Meredith's investigation becomes not only a classic example of detection but an elegant and humorous slice of crime. ., Dell, New York: Bantam, 1984.

In a small coastal town in Oregon, art dealer Octavia Brightwell must overcome personal issues in order to find the courage to begin a relationship with the handsome, patrician Nick Harte. A small town on the Oregon Coast In a small coastal town in Oregon, art dealer Octavia Brightwell must overcome personal issues in order to find the courage to begin a relationship with the handsome, patrician Nick Harte. Art gallery owner Octavia Brightwell turns down six dates with handsome Nick Harte before she finds the courage to say "yes." She knows that not only does Nick have a "no-commitment" reputation, but he's also a member of one of Eclipse Bay's foremost families. Octavia, on the other hand, is the niece of the infamous woman who started a feud between Nick's grandfather and another prominent family, the Madisons, years ago. Sheer attraction wins out, however, and after one date, Nick is determined to make Octavia more than his dinner partner. Before the two have time to explore their relationship, a valuable painting is stolen from Octavia's art gallery and when the town names her as the prime suspect, she turns to Nick to solve the mystery. The investigation unravels an old scandal, heals a broken friendship, and forces Nick and Octavia to face and resolve the passionate attraction that binds them. In this third tale in Jayne Ann Krentz's trilogy about life and love in a small town on the Oregon Coast, readers get to revisit the quirky characters that populate Eclipse Bay. The supporting cast also includes the fascinating members of the Harte and Madison families who starred in prior books. While the mystery element in the plot is light, the banter between hero and heroine is fun, and watching these two tread warily through the land mine-strewn road of their developing relationship is a pleasure. From Publishers Weekly The final installment in Krentz's Eclipse Bay trilogy (Dawn in Eclipse Bay, etc.) centers around thriller writer Nick Harte, the handsome scion of one of the tiny town's most prominent families. In the two years since the death of his wife, single dad Nick hasn't even been tempted to let a woman get close. But when he meets gallery owner Octavia Brightwell, his defenses finally crumble. Though she can't deny Nick's many attractions, Octavia herself is far from avid for romance. Then a valuable... read more Download Description A special message from Jayne Ann Krentz. Dear Reader: Summer has arrived in Eclipse Bay and things are definitely heating up between the Hartes and the Madisons. It seems that the mysterious new gallery owner, Octavia Brightwell, is thinking about having a scandalous fling with that rogue Nick Harte before she leaves town. As far as Nick is concerned, a short-term affair sounds perfect. But it isn't going to be easy. One big obstacle is Mitchell Madison. For reasons of his own, Mitchell has taken it upon himself to play guardian to Octavia. He's made it clear that if Nick fools around with her, there will be a price to pay. And then there's Nick's young son, Carson, who has his own agenda where Octavia is concerned. He doesn't want his father messing up his plans. Summer in Eclipse Bay is going to be eventful this year. Some long-buried secrets from the infamous Harte-Madison feud are about to surface. The past and the present are on a collision course. I hope you'll join me to watch the fireworks.

ABOUT THE BOOK My Lady's Dare About this title: The Earl of Dare was a highly eligible catch, until the night Dare wagered a small fortune for a French gambler's English mistress, and won. Now, with the stunning widow installed at his town house, society matchmakers doubted that he'd ever recover his good name. Most especially when the infamous Mrs Carstairs appeared all set to become his bride... Reviews: Valentine Sinclair, the Earl of Dare, is a spy living a double life: for most of the time, he spends his time in London, pursuing the pleasures afforded to the upper echelon of British society. At other times, however, the Earl travels over to France and garners intelligence through his intelligence network positioned in Napoleon-controlled France. Unable to save an associate from a brutal, painful death, Val "saves" someone else instead: the beautiful Elizabeth Carstairs, the mistress of a French gambler who owns a gambling hell in London. After winning Elizabeth in a hand of cards, Val takes her to his London townhouse, where he offers her shelter. Elizabeth Carstairs, however, isn't clamoring for the Earl's attentions. She protects herself from the harsh realities of life by wearing a carefully constructed mask of indifference and secrecy. Once Val learns Elizabeth's secrets, can he ever see her as anything more than a Frenchman's mistress? Although this is the first book in the Sinclair brides trilogy (the other two are Anne's Perfect Husband and Her Dearest Sin, both by Gayle Wilson), I read this book last, and I wasn't sure I would like it. In the other two books, Val and Elizabeth appear as secondary characters, but he always seems to be a bit snobby, and I thought that I most likely would not like him as the main hero. Wrong! It took me a while to get into this book, but after the first 50 pages went by, I was hooked! I loved the character of Elizabeth, she was a wonderful, noble soul who still retained her elegance and poise even after the horrible life she had been forced into. Val was dashing and actually sensitive and romantic (even though he was a real jerk in a few scenes), which surprised me to no end, but in a pleasantly shocking way! The ending was quite heart-warming, and I was left with that "awwwww" that ends every good romance novel. I gave the book four stars because it took a while to get me involved in the story, and also because the double standard of the era is smacked in the reader's face quite a lot, which irked me. I know that the double standard existed then, and to some extent still exists today, but I was angry that because Val had slept with a lot of women, he was a handsome rake (at the beginning of the book, for example, he was keeping a mistress in his other London home!), whereas when Elizabeth had slept with a lot of men, she was called a whore and treated as if she were trash. That burned me. Altogether, though, the book is quite good! The book also introduces the character of Ian Sinclair, who is the hero in Anne's Perfect Husband. Ian is one of my favorite romantic heroes ever, so I really enjoyed having him in the book. So if you are looking for a good regency book, or even a good regency series (I can't get over how good Anne's Perfect Husband is!), pick up this book! Elizabeth Carstairs is infamous. One of Britain's elite searving as the mistress of a gambler and working in a gaming hell? Elizabeth also has a secret. And when Valentine Sinclair, the Earl of Dare, wins her in a bet, he jeopardizes that secret by touching the heart she'd thought had long ago withered up and died. The pain of its resurrection is almost to much to bear. Dare doesn't know what to do with his jaded innocent. The mask of ennui she wears as easily as her risque gowns occasionally slips and lets him see that there is more -- so much more beneath the surface. And though he's not sure why, Dare wants to discover just what Elizabeth is hiding. But more than that, Dare wants to do the one thing that society will never permit -- he wants to marry her. And marrying Dare is the one thing that Elizabeth's love can never allow. Gayle Wilson has written a masterful regency without the expected virgin bride. Instead she's written a well-layered, multi-dimensional hero and heroine in this powerful story of intrigue and betrayal . . . and love. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. <br/><br/>, Harlequin, 2000<

ABOUT THE BOOK # 1060 Doctor Delivers Review: In THE DOCTOR DELIVERS, Janice MacDonald writes a story about a divorced woman with two children who finds herself falling in love with a doctor who is known as a ladies man, never wanting a commitment from any of the women he's been with. Catherine Prentice is a divorced mother of two young children, Julie and Peter, and is trying to make a living at Western Hospital in the public relations department. Her job is to help get good publicity for the hospital. Her big challenge at the moment is to convince Dr Martin Connaughton to take part in a press conference, but he's notorious for his hot temper and his lack of cooperation. And Catherine is not one to be very aggressive. Her boss Derek is not very happy at the way Catherine is handling the situation, and she's worried that her job is at stake. While Catherine has problems at work, she also has issues with her ex-husband, who happens to be married to her ex-best friend, Nadia. Gary, the ex-husband, does his best to intimidate Catherine and make her feel insecure as a mother and as an employee of the hospital. In his eyes nothing she does is right. It doesn't help when the kids come home from their visits with dad, filled with stories of how wonderful Gary and Nadia are, and all the things Peter and Julie get when they are out shopping. Catherine feels less than nothing as a parent, knowing that Gary is trying to make her think she cannot provide for them, yet she will not accept any help from anyone. She is doing this on her own. Dr Martin Connaughton works in the NICU at Western Hospital, and although he's known throughout as a man with a terribly hot temper, he's also known for being an excellent neonatal doctor. Martin has been married before, years ago when he was still living in Ireland. It's been five years since Sharon had died, and he has never really gotten over the tragedy. He keeps walls around him, making sure he never gets attached to any one woman. His life is his work. It is inevitable that Martin and Catherine meet, since it is Catherine's mission to convince Martin to be friendlier to the press. When they see each other at the hospital holiday party, they find that there is a spark between them, and Martin is ready to get to know Catherine better, despite the fact that it is her job at work to make him do something he repeatedly refuses to do. Something about her smile reminds him of someone, and then he realizes it is his beloved Sharon. He no longer wants to avoid Catherine, and wants to spend more time with her instead. When Martin delivers triplets on the Long Beach Freeway, he becomes a hero, and it is up to Catherine to make sure that Martin is available to the press for interviews. When the press finds out that one of the triplets may not make it out of the hospital alive, a controversy arises involving Martin and a surgeon who wants to perform a controversial type of surgery to save the infant's life. Martin is opposed, and soon his job is on the line, and so is Catherine's. At the same time, Martin and Catherine find themselves falling in love, causing more problems for Catherine and her ex-husband Gary. THE DOCTOR DELIVERS by Janice Macdonald has got to be one of the best harlequin superromances I have ever read. She knows how to write. I couldn't find fault with anything in this book, except for a few grammatical errors that had been overlooked during the editing of the book. The story held my interest and the characters were believable. I would gladly read anything this author writes.

ABOUT THE BOOK My Lady's Dare About this title: The Earl of Dare was a highly eligible catch, until the night Dare wagered a small fortune for a French gambler's English mistress, and won. Now, with the stunning widow installed at his town house, society matchmakers doubted that he'd ever recover his good name. Most especially when the infamous Mrs Carstairs appeared all set to become his bride... Reviews: Valentine Sinclair, the Earl of Dare, is a spy living a double life: for most of the time, he spends his time in London, pursuing the pleasures afforded to the upper echelon of British society. At other times, however, the Earl travels over to France and garners intelligence through his intelligence network positioned in Napoleon-controlled France. Unable to save an associate from a brutal, painful death, Val "saves" someone else instead: the beautiful Elizabeth Carstairs, the mistress of a French gambler who owns a gambling hell in London. After winning Elizabeth in a hand of cards, Val takes her to his London townhouse, where he offers her shelter. Elizabeth Carstairs, however, isn't clamoring for the Earl's attentions. She protects herself from the harsh realities of life by wearing a carefully constructed mask of indifference and secrecy. Once Val learns Elizabeth's secrets, can he ever see her as anything more than a Frenchman's mistress? Although this is the first book in the Sinclair brides trilogy (the other two are Anne's Perfect Husband and Her Dearest Sin, both by Gayle Wilson), I read this book last, and I wasn't sure I would like it. In the other two books, Val and Elizabeth appear as secondary characters, but he always seems to be a bit snobby, and I thought that I most likely would not like him as the main hero. Wrong! It took me a while to get into this book, but after the first 50 pages went by, I was hooked! I loved the character of Elizabeth, she was a wonderful, noble soul who still retained her elegance and poise even after the horrible life she had been forced into. Val was dashing and actually sensitive and romantic (even though he was a real jerk in a few scenes), which surprised me to no end, but in a pleasantly shocking way! The ending was quite heart-warming, and I was left with that "awwwww" that ends every good romance novel. I gave the book four stars because it took a while to get me involved in the story, and also because the double standard of the era is smacked in the reader's face quite a lot, which irked me. I know that the double standard existed then, and to some extent still exists today, but I was angry that because Val had slept with a lot of women, he was a handsome rake (at the beginning of the book, for example, he was keeping a mistress in his other London home!), whereas when Elizabeth had slept with a lot of men, she was called a whore and treated as if she were trash. That burned me. Altogether, though, the book is quite good! The book also introduces the character of Ian Sinclair, who is the hero in Anne's Perfect Husband. Ian is one of my favorite romantic heroes ever, so I really enjoyed having him in the book. So if you are looking for a good regency book, or even a good regency series (I can't get over how good Anne's Perfect Husband is!), pick up this book! Elizabeth Carstairs is infamous. One of Britain's elite searving as the mistress of a gambler and working in a gaming hell? Elizabeth also has a secret. And when Valentine Sinclair, the Earl of Dare, wins her in a bet, he jeopardizes that secret by touching the heart she'd thought had long ago withered up and died. The pain of its resurrection is almost to much to bear. Dare doesn't know what to do with his jaded innocent. The mask of ennui she wears as easily as her risque gowns occasionally slips and lets him see that there is more -- so much more beneath the surface. And though he's not sure why, Dare wants to discover just what Elizabeth is hiding. But more than that, Dare wants to do the one thing that society will never permit -- he wants to marry her. And marrying Dare is the one thing that Elizabeth's love can never allow. Gayle Wilson has written a masterful regency without the expected virgin bride. Instead she's written a well-layered, multi-dimensional hero and heroine in this powerful story of intrigue and betrayal . . . and love. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. <br/><br/>, Harlequin, 2000<

From them Hans gains his first garbled ideas of German geopolitical destiny, and from the Hitlerjugend he learns how to carry arms and how to be tough with women, although his comrades' escapades with the local prostitutes deeply disgust him. Inspired by his father's vision of military glory and his brother in law's diatribes aginst the Jewish conspiracy, Hans has his first taste of glory in the Polish campaign. During the years which follow on the RUssian front his private romanticism is crushed by dailyi contact with death, disease and defeat and in 1944, at the age of 24, he is transferred to Italy, having acquired a nervous tic, a collection of medals and a readiness to meet the hero's end."

Dedicated to the study of toddlers and their development of verbal skills, the Wabash Institute should be staffed by kinder, gentler scholars, but instead is home to a nest of sublimely cranky academics. When one of them is bludgeoned to death, Jeremy Cook – the Institute’s premier scholar and the book’s socially clueless hero – becomes the prime suspect. To clear his name, Cook resolves to solve the case, even if it means taking time off from his hobby of teaching imaginary words to the Institute’s tiny “subjects.” While gleefully skewering academia, Carkeet – himself a professor of linguistics – also provides a spectacularly ingenious puzzle. “Mystery stories that have a really original solution to the crime are very rare,” said the New York Times Book Review, “but Dr. Carkeet has found one.” -- from the cover of the book.

Sir Oliver Fairleigh-Stubbs, overweight and overbearing, collapses and dies at his birthday party while indulging his taste for rare liquors. He had promised his daughter he would be polite and charitable for the entire day, but the strain of such exemplary behavior was obviously too great. He leaves a family relieved to be rid of him, and he also leaves a fortune, earned as a bestselling mystery author. To everyone's surprise, Sir Oliver's elder son, who openly hated his father, inherits most of the estate. His wife, his daughter, and his younger son are each to receive the royalties from one carefully chosen book. But the manuscript of the unpublished volume left to Sir Oliver's wife -- a posthumous "last case" that might be worth millions -- has disappeared. And Sir Oliver's death is beginning to look less than natural. Into this bitter household comes Inspector Meredith, a spirited Welshman who in some ways resembles Sir Oliver's fictional hero. In Robert Barnard's skillful hands, Inspector Meredith's investigation becomes not only a classic example of detection but an elegant and humorous slice of crime. ., Dell, New York: Bantam, 1984.

In a small coastal town in Oregon, art dealer Octavia Brightwell must overcome personal issues in order to find the courage to begin a relationship with the handsome, patrician Nick Harte. A small town on the Oregon Coast In a small coastal town in Oregon, art dealer Octavia Brightwell must overcome personal issues in order to find the courage to begin a relationship with the handsome, patrician Nick Harte. Art gallery owner Octavia Brightwell turns down six dates with handsome Nick Harte before she finds the courage to say "yes." She knows that not only does Nick have a "no-commitment" reputation, but he's also a member of one of Eclipse Bay's foremost families. Octavia, on the other hand, is the niece of the infamous woman who started a feud between Nick's grandfather and another prominent family, the Madisons, years ago. Sheer attraction wins out, however, and after one date, Nick is determined to make Octavia more than his dinner partner. Before the two have time to explore their relationship, a valuable painting is stolen from Octavia's art gallery and when the town names her as the prime suspect, she turns to Nick to solve the mystery. The investigation unravels an old scandal, heals a broken friendship, and forces Nick and Octavia to face and resolve the passionate attraction that binds them. In this third tale in Jayne Ann Krentz's trilogy about life and love in a small town on the Oregon Coast, readers get to revisit the quirky characters that populate Eclipse Bay. The supporting cast also includes the fascinating members of the Harte and Madison families who starred in prior books. While the mystery element in the plot is light, the banter between hero and heroine is fun, and watching these two tread warily through the land mine-strewn road of their developing relationship is a pleasure. From Publishers Weekly The final installment in Krentz's Eclipse Bay trilogy (Dawn in Eclipse Bay, etc.) centers around thriller writer Nick Harte, the handsome scion of one of the tiny town's most prominent families. In the two years since the death of his wife, single dad Nick hasn't even been tempted to let a woman get close. But when he meets gallery owner Octavia Brightwell, his defenses finally crumble. Though she can't deny Nick's many attractions, Octavia herself is far from avid for romance. Then a valuable... read more Download Description A special message from Jayne Ann Krentz. Dear Reader: Summer has arrived in Eclipse Bay and things are definitely heating up between the Hartes and the Madisons. It seems that the mysterious new gallery owner, Octavia Brightwell, is thinking about having a scandalous fling with that rogue Nick Harte before she leaves town. As far as Nick is concerned, a short-term affair sounds perfect. But it isn't going to be easy. One big obstacle is Mitchell Madison. For reasons of his own, Mitchell has taken it upon himself to play guardian to Octavia. He's made it clear that if Nick fools around with her, there will be a price to pay. And then there's Nick's young son, Carson, who has his own agenda where Octavia is concerned. He doesn't want his father messing up his plans. Summer in Eclipse Bay is going to be eventful this year. Some long-buried secrets from the infamous Harte-Madison feud are about to surface. The past and the present are on a collision course. I hope you'll join me to watch the fireworks.

Now, with the stunning widow installed at his town house, society matchmakers doubted that he'd ever recover his good name. Most especially when the infamous Mrs Carstairs appeared all set to become his bride... Reviews: Valentine Sinclair, the Earl of Dare, is a spy living a double life: for most of the time, he spends his time in London, pursuing the pleasures afforded to the upper echelon of British society. At other times, however, the Earl travels over to France and garners intelligence through his intelligence network positioned in Napoleon-controlled France. Unable to save an associate from a brutal, painful death, Val "saves" someone else instead: the beautiful Elizabeth Carstairs, the mistress of a French gambler who owns a gambling hell in London. After winning Elizabeth in a hand of cards, Val takes her to his London townhouse, where he offers her shelter. Elizabeth Carstairs, however, isn't clamoring for the Earl's attentions. She protects herself from the harsh realities of life by wearing a carefully constructed mask of indifference and secrecy. Once Val learns Elizabeth's secrets, can he ever see her as anything more than a Frenchman's mistress? Although this is the first book in the Sinclair brides trilogy (the other two are Anne's Perfect Husband and Her Dearest Sin, both by Gayle Wilson), I read this book last, and I wasn't sure I would like it. In the other two books, Val and Elizabeth appear as secondary characters, but he always seems to be a bit snobby, and I thought that I most likely would not like him as the main hero. Wrong! It took me a while to get into this book, but after the first 50 pages went by, I was hooked! I loved the character of Elizabeth, she was a wonderful, noble soul who still retained her elegance and poise even after the horrible life she had been forced into. Val was dashing and actually sensitive and romantic (even though he was a real jerk in a few scenes), which surprised me to no end, but in a pleasantly shocking way! The ending was quite heart-warming, and I was left with that "awwwww" that ends every good romance novel. I gave the book four stars because it took a while to get me involved in the story, and also because the double standard of the era is smacked in the reader's face quite a lot, which irked me. I know that the double standard existed then, and to some extent still exists today, but I was angry that because Val had slept with a lot of women, he was a handsome rake (at the beginning of the book, for example, he was keeping a mistress in his other London home!), whereas when Elizabeth had slept with a lot of men, she was called a whore and treated as if she were trash. That burned me. Altogether, though, the book is quite good! The book also introduces the character of Ian Sinclair, who is the hero in Anne's Perfect Husband. Ian is one of my favorite romantic heroes ever, so I really enjoyed having him in the book. So if you are looking for a good regency book, or even a good regency series (I can't get over how good Anne's Perfect Husband is!), pick up this book! Elizabeth Carstairs is infamous. One of Britain's elite searving as the mistress of a gambler and working in a gaming hell? Elizabeth also has a secret. And when Valentine Sinclair, the Earl of Dare, wins her in a bet, he jeopardizes that secret by touching the heart she'd thought had long ago withered up and died. The pain of its resurrection is almost to much to bear. Dare doesn't know what to do with his jaded innocent. The mask of ennui she wears as easily as her risque gowns occasionally slips and lets him see that there is more -- so much more beneath the surface. And though he's not sure why, Dare wants to discover just what Elizabeth is hiding. But more than that, Dare wants to do the one thing that society will never permit -- he wants to marry her. And marrying Dare is the one thing that Elizabeth's love can never allow. Gayle Wilson has written a masterful regency without the expected virgin bride. Instead she's written a well-layered, multi-dimensional hero and heroine in this powerful story of intrigue and betrayal . . . and love. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. <br/><br/>, Harlequin, 2000<

ABOUT THE BOOK My Lady's Dare About this title: The Earl of Dare was a highly eligible catch, until the night Dare wagered a small fortune for a French gambler's English mistress, and won. Now, with the stunning widow installed at his town house, society matchmakers doubted that he'd ever recover his good name. Most especially when the infamous Mrs Carstairs appeared all set to become his bride... Reviews: Valentine Sinclair, the Earl of Dare, is a spy living a double life: for most of the time, he spends his time in London, pursuing the pleasures afforded to the upper echelon of British society. At other times, however, the Earl travels over to France and garners intelligence through his intelligence network positioned in Napoleon-controlled France.

ABOUT THE BOOK # 1060 Doctor Delivers Review: In THE DOCTOR DELIVERS, Janice MacDonald writes a story about a divorced woman with two children who finds herself falling in love with a doctor who is known as a ladies man, never wanting a commitment from any of the women he's been with. Catherine Prentice is a divorced mother of two young children, Julie and Peter, and is trying to make a living at Western Hospital in the public relations department. Her job is to help get good publicity for the hospital. Her big challenge at the moment is to convince Dr Martin Connaughton to take part in a press conference, but he's notorious for his hot temper and his lack of cooperation. And Catherine is not one to be very aggressive. Her boss Derek is not very happy at the way Catherine is handling the situation, and she's worried that her job is at stake. While Catherine has problems at work, she also has issues with her ex-husband, who happens to be married to her ex-best friend, Nadia. Gary, the ex-husband, does his best to intimidate Catherine and make her feel insecure as a mother and as an employee of the hospital. In his eyes nothing she does is right. It doesn't help when the kids come home from their visits with dad, filled with stories of how wonderful Gary and Nadia are, and all the things Peter and Julie get when they are out shopping. Catherine feels less than nothing as a parent, knowing that Gary is trying to make her think she cannot provide for them, yet she will not accept any help from anyone. She is doing this on her own. Dr Martin Connaughton works in the NICU at Western Hospital, and although he's known throughout as a man with a terribly hot temper, he's also known for being an excellent neonatal doctor. Martin has been married before, years ago when he was still living in Ireland. It's been five years since Sharon had died, and he has never really gotten over the tragedy. He keeps walls around him, making sure he never gets attached to any one woman. His life is his work. It is inevitable that Martin and Catherine meet, since it is Catherine's mission to convince Martin to be friendlier to the press. When they see each other at the hospital holiday party, they find that there is a spark between them, and Martin is ready to get to know Catherine better, despite the fact that it is her job at work to make him do something he repeatedly refuses to do. Something about her smile reminds him of someone, and then he realizes it is his beloved Sharon. He no longer wants to avoid Catherine, and wants to spend more time with her instead. When Martin delivers triplets on the Long Beach Freeway, he becomes a hero, and it is up to Catherine to make sure that Martin is available to the press for interviews. When the press finds out that one of the triplets may not make it out of the hospital alive, a controversy arises involving Martin and a surgeon who wants to perform a controversial type of surgery to save the infant's life. Martin is opposed, and soon his job is on the line, and so is Catherine's. At the same time, Martin and Catherine find themselves falling in love, causing more problems for Catherine and her ex-husband Gary. THE DOCTOR DELIVERS by Janice Macdonald has got to be one of the best harlequin superromances I have ever read. She knows how to write. I couldn't find fault with anything in this book, except for a few grammatical errors that had been overlooked during the editing of the book. The story held my interest and the characters were believable. I would gladly read anything this author writes.
