A Night Without End
When Carlie Myers woke up from a blow to the head, two years were erased from her memory. She couldn't recall how she'd gotten to Alaska, or why she was being blamed for murder. And she didn't know if the sexy stranger who claimed to be her husband was telling the truth...
Rugged Sean McCabe wanted justice for his partner's murder. Yet one look in the deep green of Carlie's eyes and he knew she was innocent. Which meant she needed protection. He'd told her a white lie to keep her close - yet how would Sean keep his 'wife' safe and satisfied without putting his heart in jeopardy?

3 1/2 Stars ~ With the hair prickling at the back of his neck, Sean knew he had to hurry to get to the mine, there was danger in the air. Arriving at the mine he found his foster father stabbed to death and another lifeless body. Much to Sean's shock the other body awoke swinging the bloody knife, and this was a woman. Carlie's head seemed to be splitting in two and she couldn't figure out what she was doing in Alaska. Her last memory was from two years before. Discovering that Carlie was his best friend's widow, he knows she isn't a murderer. When someone sights a rifle at her, he has to protect her. Carlie's senses there is something that Sean isn't telling her, but her cop instincts tell her he's someone she can trust. Together they track a murderer who seems to always be two steps ahead and determined to take them both out.
It's been ages since I've read a Harlequin Intrigue and equally ages since I've read a book by Ms. Kearney. I adore amnesia stories. The theme opens up opportunities for the characters to wipe the slate and begin again. I like that Carlie doesn't have total amnesia and that she still has a good sense of herself. Sean is a hero to drool over, not only for his tall, dark and sexy looks but for his innate integrity. I also liked that Carlie isn't a helpless heroine, she constantly amazes Sean with her abilities, and proves that she can protect him just as well as he can protect her. This was a very enjoyable read

A Pleasing Alaskan Adventure
February 20, 2000
"A Night Without End" is an Alaskan-set romantic mystery that should entertain fans of that exotic locale and action-packed romances. Sean McCabe is stunned to discover the body of his foster father and mentor in the mine they're both working, and even more shocked at the woman he finds next to the body. Recognizing her as Carlie Myers, the widow of one of his best friends, he believes her when she says she's not the killer, but her amnesia prevents her from naming the true murderer. Thinking quickly, he keeps her from being arrested by claiming she's his wife, not bothering to tell Carlie it's not true. He thinks it's the only way to keep her out of jail and protect her from the killer, an idea that proves to be true when the attempts on her life begin.
Yes, another amnesia book (but who's looking for innovation from Intrigue, anyway? This is the line that makes all their books the same boring color while leaving the design the same and calls it a "new cover look." Instead, it's a pretty good statement about how they're trying to make these books exactly the same.). Fortunately, author Susan Kearney packs enough action sequences in her story to distract from that too-familiar plot element and some of the more far-fetched aspects of her plot. From an avalanche to a plane crash, Kearney keeps her characters, and readers, on their toes at all times. Carlie is also a nicely strong-willed heroine. She may have lost her memory, but she hasn't lost her will, or her brains. Watching her face the dangers thrown their way with just as much courage as Sean is one of the book's delights.
The mystery is pretty well done, all of the suspects equally suspicious throughout. As a hero, Sean is to-die-for, and the romance packs plenty of passion, even if the idea that the relationship between these two is going to last is a bit unearned. In spite of an unnecessary prologue, which adds nothing, most of "A Night Without End" is suspenseful and engaging. This is an entertaining tale that is bound to keep readers dreaming about those cold Alaskan nights.
