Never again and this is why. Pseudonyms OK for authors. Not okay for readers. Sorry, I don't think so.
Here's my original review so those who will cannot accuse me of being a drive-by troll. If anything I was a silly fangirl. I wrote this way back when. Ahhh, innocence was bliss.
In my opinion, this is one of Sala's best. It was an emotional read for me from the very beginning. It's a contemporary and features one of the most sensitive "good guy" heroes I've ever come across in a novel. No annoyi ...more

This is a good read, but a word of warning it makes me cry every time.
Sweet Baby
This one was a pretty emotional one for me. I adored Brett and his family. Felt as if I was walking along beside Tory throughout the story.

I enjoy most of Sharon Salas books (or Dinah McCall), they are just plain good. But some of them are exceptional at stirring your heartstrings, this is one of those.

Sharon Sala can be hit or miss with her books, but with "Sweet Baby", she has a definite winner on her hands. This maybe considered one of her best.
Victoria or Tory as her boyfriend Brett calls her, came home to an empty house when she was seven years old. Her parents were gone and the house was empty of everything. She was so scarred by the experience from going to foster home to foster home, she is more of a shell of a person. She is afraid to love the people in her life. She shuts down. And ...more

Quite angsty. When Sharon Sala is on she's one of the best. The heroine here is seriously messed up and the hero is twisting in the wind trying to deal with her. He is pretty constant in his love and acceptance and his desire to help and protect her. He's a great hero. I liked to see the heroine meet his family as that is always something I enjoy in books since any relationship will have to deal with in-laws unless they are both orphans. When it's done correctly it's a great opportunity to revea

My favorite of all of her titles. I re-read this at least once a year!
As only Sharon Sala can do. She grabs you from the start and holds your attention till the end. I love her writing style, the mystery, & romance in this great book. Sweet Baby is a crisp fresh read.
Sharon Sala has fast become one of my all time favorite authors! I felt a little disappointed in this book thus the 3 star rating but it is still a pretty good read regardless!
Tory (Victoria)finally finds a place of belonging with Brett Hooker but she still struggles to feel safe and secure after so many years.
She takes a photo one day that flashes something in her memory and her dreams become haunted with the face of the tattooed man. This spirals a lot of emotions that Brett just can’t seem ...more

Totally engrossing story
I'm new to reading Sharon Sala, but if this book is any indication, she is going to be a favorite author.
Sweet Baby grabs you at the first few paragraphs and doesn't let go until the last word. Laughter, sorrow, anger, sympathy, heartbreak, joy...this book evokes it all.
The characters are memorable, even the secondary ones, and the scenes and settings are so visual it's like you're there in the middle of everything.

Aharon Sala at her best!
Outstanding! This is definitely a 3 hankie story that only Sharon Sala could write. An abandoned child placed in the foster care system, photojournalist Tory Lancaster has made a life for herself. But a not so random picture of a crowd pushed her back into the nightmare of her childhood.

Reminder to myself to re-read this one. Having just read a romance, I was reminded of the first one I ever read which was this one. So dark and beautiful.
A few interesting twists, but I have come to expect that from Sharon Sala. Enjoyable read.
Love this book
I loved this book! Sharon Sala has written another wonderful book. I enjoyed reading it so much. I hope you will read it and enjoy it as much as I did.

Sharon Sala writes a story about a woman with a mystery past. It was a touching and really wonderful story of Tory Lancaster's tortured life (nightmares) trying to find her childhood and Brett Hooker's understanding and love for her; what a wonderful extended family the Hookers were. Her books are well-written and, refreshingly, well-edited.

SYNOPSIS:
This is a sweet story about a woman with serious attachment issues. She’s in love with Brett, but treats him like he doesn’t matter. Tory leaves him over and over for work for weeks without a thought or a call, and saunters back into his life as if she never left.
Brett is such a kind man who loves Tory so much he will do anything to help heal her and make her amenable to the concept of ‘being loved’.
Tory doesn’t remember her childhood before the second grade. She was raised in fos ...more

From the beginning, you feel sympathy for Tory Lancaster who as a young girl came home to an empty house, her family gone. Luckily twenty five years later she has fallen in love with a man whose love is so genuine that it seems far fetched at times for what she puts him though. This story is not action packed or suspenseful, yet it keeps you turning the pages. I couldn't help but get choked up while reading this book, it will tug at your heart in several ways.

This is the saddest book with the most rewarding ending! What the main protagonists goes through is absolutely heart wrenching. The author definitely knows how to Tug on the heartstrings, tie them in a knot, and then yank on them for good measure right before stomping all over them. A most excellent read. I love my southern-Fried romances.
Victoria "Tory" Lancaster is a photographer and travels often for work. She has been living with her boyfriend, Brett, for 4 years but has some commitment issues. A bit of a tear-jerker as she works through her nightmares and the mystery of her childhood.

This book left me heartbroken and that's how you know it is a great book. Sharon Sala is a master reaching a reader's emotions and taking them on a journey. I love the tenacity of Brett's love for Tory. Tory had a horrific childhood, but overcame it and found true happiness in the end.
