4 1/2 Stars! ~ Nick and Abby are part of a special task force to rid the New Orleans Police Dept. of corruption. They've been keeping their affair secret. Nick is ambushed one night and a bullet to his temple robs him of his sight and part of his memory; the part that included Abby. When Abby is assigned to protect him while he heals, he wonders is she's the one he's been seeing in his dreams.
Another great read from Ms. Wilson!

I am not fun of mystery and police fiction. When I picked this up I thought that I was reading romance.
I found this book repetitive, overly long and boring.

Heartfelt, Passionate...But Where's the Plot?
8 November 1998
Gayle Wilson's latest is a very emotional tale of two very real people trying to find their way to a happy ending. Abby Sterling and Nick Deandro were adversaries on the New Orleans Police force--and lovers behind closed doors. After one encounter, Nick was shot leaving Abby's apartment, an action that left him blind and unable to remember either Abby or the case that led to the shooting. Six months later, Abby--six months pregnant--asks for a less stressful assignment and is instead assigned to protect Nick, whose life is still in danger. Of course, she is reluctant to, unable to be near him when he doesn't even remember her. But she takes the case anyway, and Nick soon realizes that his new bodyguard is strangely familiar...
I thought Wilson's last book, "Remember My Touch," had a good plot, but skimped on the emotional reunion of its two main characters. In "Never Let Her Go," Wilson gives us plenty of real emotion, but that's all. The characters spend 225 pages growing closer, and nothing else happens. The threats to their lives are dealt with casually, and are treated rather unimportantly. It's all about the feelings, which is fine, but I needed a little more. Wilson has a lot of great scenes--most of the ones from Nick's perspective, which have to be told with a lot of descriptions that include no visuals, are extremely well done. The characters are well-developed (of course; it's not like she has to bother developing the plot) and easy to care about. But they really just hang around a house for 200 pages, eyeing each other warily with nothing else happening. Many romance fans will probably love this book. High on the romance, light on the intrigue, it reads a lot like a Silhouette Special Edition or Intimate Moments release. But regular Intrigue readers know Wilson--and the series--can do better.

I was impressed with Abby's ability to still be a cop while being six months pregnant at the same time, but occasionally she let herself get distracted enough to make some stupid moves, which I didn't care for, because it seemed more like the author trying to move forward on her own storyline rather than keeping her protagonist in character. Otherwise, it was quite good. It made you think about what it would be like to have both a short-term amnesia and to be blind.

I liked this story ! The hero has amnesia and is temporarily blind and doesn't remember being with the heroine !! And of course the heroine is pregnant with his child ... their is a lot of drama in this story which makes it a even better read ! I recommend it !

A nice mix of intrigue and romance. The author really conveyed the frustration that the hero felt at being unable to see. The way that Abby was introduced was a little strange and some of her responses are rather antitypical of a romance heroine (although realistic) but I still enjoyed reading their HEA.

I wound up just skimming the first part of the story, just couldn't suspend my disbelief and I didn't like the hero or heroine all that much. But the ending was really exciting and I wound up liking it more than I expected
