Do You like book Le Pardon (2012)?
Nurse Mercy Dawson meets Stephen when he is wounded in battle. One night he rescues her, and she falls in love with him, though he never touches her. A few months later a fellow nurse gives birth to his child, but she flees, leaving Mercy with the babe. Mercy shows up on Stephen's doorstep, believing him dead, to give the child to his family, only to discover he is alive and totally without memories of the war or of her. The setup was a bit strange, and I'm still not sure exactly what it was Mercy thought she was doing by passing herself off as the baby's mother. I sort of bought that she had come to love the baby, but it was a bit of a stretch, especially when she built lie upon lie.I'm not usually fond of romances built upon a critical deception, which is precisely what this was. At the end, when he learns the truth, I couldn't feel at all sorry for her. I thought she deserved what she got and worse for her lies, no matter how sweet she was normally. She played games with a man's life. I didn't know how to forgive her for that, and the book never showed me a way. Ultimately, nothing substantive drew these two together. I don't recommend.

You know those days where you replay something in your mind over and over and it is the same scene? You talk yourself through the good and the bad of it? Well, both Stephen and Mercy do that ( main characters). That is fine if it lasts lets say a chapter but it goes on and on and on till you want to scream I got it the first time! I got turned off and put the book away when Mercy introduces him to his son and offers for him to hold him, ( after page 100!) He s known since the first chapter. He has never liked kids and has no interest in him.Wrong move! No man is worth 2 seconds of my time that pities himself most and could care less about his own child. Not worth the read if you ask me.
