Summary: Five stars just not enough
Review: Synopsis: She had borne him a child in secret.... A child taken from her loving arms too soon. So Tara McNiven swallowed her tears, bolstered her pride, and vowed never to let Zeke Blaxland know about the family that might have been.... But when Zeke burst unexpectedly into her life once more, Tara could keep no secrets from this determined, mesmerizing man. For Zeke not only demanded her kiss, he demanded answers. And what he discovered filled Tara with a powerful hope. Zeke claimed their baby was still alive and only needed to be found. Now, as they searched side by side, she discovered the powerful truth: that she had never stopped loving Zeke, or dreaming of their future family.... Okay, the first thing is that this month Silhouette Intimate Moments has a thing for Mothers thinking that their child is dead but they really aren't (see Her Guardian Angel, Silhouette Intimate Moments Aug. 2001). Otherwise I cannot give this book enough praise a 5 star rating just isn't enough. Valerie Parv has written such emotional characters that they feel very real. The emotion that exudes from this book will blow you away. You can feel the love! I would venture to guess that this book could be a RITA award winner next year!

Summary: Secrets revealed -- Highly recommended
Review: When reporter/photojournalist Zeke Blaxland began his series of columns regarding the misappropriation of funds in charities, he never dreamed that a lead would lead so close to home. Having come up through the foster home system, Zeke is skeptic believing that charity begins at home. So he shows up at yet another fundraiser for a charity, checking out his ex-girlfriend Tara McNiven while gleaning information for a column. When she became pregnant, Tara McNiven doesn't tell Zeke. If he is going to remain in Australia, he needs to make that choice, not be forced into it by her and an expected baby. When her child dies in the hospital, Tara grieves alone. Helping other people's children became a tonic for her broken heart when Tara left behind modeling to become a spokesperson for Model Children charity. Facing Zeke across the room, Tara knows she's not over him. But she's not pleased that he's back. It's only a matter of time before an investigation into a baby farm leads Zeke to the realization that Tara had his child. As jealousy and pain intertwine with love and new opportunities, INTERRUPTED LULLABY touches the heart in unexpected ways. These strong willed characters must learn to allow vulnerability, supporting one anther despite their fears from the past. The passion between these characters is scorching! Author Valerie Parv's strong, believable characters and fascinating plot will keep the readers looking for more of her work. Highly recommended.
