Customer Reviews

A hero to die for.

Sharon Sala has outdid herself with this one. Brett is the ultimate hero - caring, sensitive and most of all devoted. I found this book sometimes difficult to read just because of the emotions that it evoked in me but I could not wait to get to the end to find out what happened.I will recommend this to my friends.

Sala's Best Yet!

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 annoying arrogance and impatience, just lots of understanding _and_ he looks like Mel Gibson :) You know from page one that he is deeply, totally, in love with the heroine and you feel it throughout the book. The heroine is the troubled one in SWEET BABY. She's had a hellacious past that she doesn't remember and it's kept her from committing to the hero. She walks in and out of his life and not until she recovers her memory will she be able to give her heart completely to him. With the hero's love, patience and police background he helps her confront the demons in her past. He gets my vote for #1 hero of the year.

A must read

In 1973 Arkansas, six year old Victoria Lancaster was abandoned. Due to selective amnesia, the trauma of coming home to an empty house has been buried deep in her subconscious. Over the subsequent years, Tory's childhood memories revolve around being bounced from foster home to foster home. For the past three years, Tory has lived with DA investigator Brett Hooker. Over the past quarter of a century, he is the only person to slightly dent Tory's emotional shield, but even he knows that in spite of their obvious love for each other, the ephemeral Tory is incapable of any deeper commitment. Her last photo assignment had Tory away from Brett for six weeks. However, though their lovemaking reaches stratospheric heights, something seems to be bothering Tory. A picture of a tattooed person that she recently shot has invoked hidden memories and has led to gruesome nightmares. Between this and Brett being shot on the job, Tory fears being abandoned again. Though thoroughly frightened, the intrepid Tory decides it is time to confront her past, regardless of the danger it leads to, if she is to enjoy a future with the man she loves. SWEET BABY is an ingenious psychological romance that allows readers to see first hand the childhood traumas affecting an otherwise tender but dauntless individual and the man willing to risk everything to protect her back. The story line is both emotional and fast-paced, a rare summit that only the supreme scribes such as Sharon Sala can successfully scale. Fans of psychological romance will cherish this keeper.
