** spoiler alert ** Even though the publisher, Ellora's cave, rated this as an erotic romance, it had nothing more steamy than a single anal scene.

This was a pretty good story. The suspense plot was not very well done; the zingers that were thrown in at the end tying everyone to everyone else were not written well enough to be believable.

I liked the protagonists, but feel the story could have been just as good without the amnesia element, perhaps even better. Our heroine has survived more than anyone would wish to face, but has gotten past suicidal thoughts to a state of numbness, and is glad to be feeling something other than pain. Our hero is physically wounded and cannot recall how it happened or why he is running.

The love story pulls this book out of the doldrums. It begins with physical attraction that is not immediately acted upon. It progresses with each finding admirable qualities in the other, and culminates in the old "I'm leaving you for your own good" ploy.

I did not like that the story ended with a pregnancy, we should have been left with either a relationship or a new child, not in between.
