I've read and enjoyed "Coal Miner's Wife" and almost all of mru7's saga series (I've saved her last story to read before the one she's working on with Elliot pregnant again, is finished and posted.

The only thing I miss about these "marriage" stories (sorry mru7) is that the comforting given to the injured partner becomes the wife's role. The other agent is left standing in the background for the major scenes. That doesn't mean that I don't care for the marriage stories, but that piece of very satisfying angst which I crave is missing. The spouse's comforting is just not the same.
