"An engaging addition to "Those Sullivan Sisters" trilogy"
Andrea Sullivan has two sisters which sounds fairly
ordinary, except for the
fact that they are triplets. Although born fraternal, Andi,
Jenny and Kristen
all share a special relationship that is much more than
just sisterhood. Ex marine, Andi is back in Gold Creek to help her aging
aunt keep
her business going. She finds that she is becoming
attracted to the
mysterious man who works at her brother-in-law's ranch. This
man is definitely not a cowboy, although no one knows
exactly
who he is or where he came from. Harley Forester, as he is currently known, suffered a
motorcycle
accident that has left him with amnesia. He has no
recollection
of his former life, which leaves him troubled. He too, is
beginning
to have feelings for Andi. Although, he has no knowledge of
what he
has left behind and tries to resist the temptation. When Andi recovers Harley's motorcycle she also finds
clues
to his former identity. But, she is afraid that she is
going to lose him by
helping him discover who he really is. She has come
to care for him as Harley and feels that deep down no
matter who
he turns out to be her feelings will remain the same, but
will his? As Harley pieces together his former life he feels that
Andi
deserves better than the man he was. Both wrestle with
feelings
and try and to resolve their dilemma. Gold Creek is brimming with secondary characters from the
first book.
It is like coming back to greet old friends and they
richly add to the
storyline. We see the return of Kristen who has a big
surprise of her own. WITHOUT A PAST is book two in the Sullivan Sisters
Trilogy. However,
the author has done a remarkable job in making it stand
alone. She recaps
the saga beautifully, leaving nothing out for the reader.
I look forward to
Kristen's story but will be sorry to see it all end. Debra
Salonen gives
her fans another emotional tale with some surprising twists
and turns. I
definitely recommend it!

Summary
Jenny, Andrea and Kristin Sullivan are much more than
sisters—they're triplets. Growing up as one of a
threesome meant the days were never lonely...or dull. Now
they're adults—with separate lives, loves, dreams and
secrets. But underneath everything that keeps them apart
is the bond that holds them together.
Andrea—the middle Sullivan triplet—is intrigued
by the mysterious stranger working on her brother-in-law's
ranch. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that Harley
Forester's no cowboy. He doesn't talk like one and he
doesn't know the first thing about horses. So who
is he?
Even more perplexing, why is Andi so attracted to a man
without a past?
