1.0 out of 5 stars Another disappointment, December 14, 2005

I think that Diana needs to get a new editor. There were so many continuity errors in this book-Blake fought in the first gulf war-almost 15 years ago when his reserve unit, that he joined after finishing law school was called up-but he's only 36! He must be incredibly intelligent to have finished law school and practiced before he was 22. Another thing, he and Cag Hart were both Special Forces, but they served in a mechanized division (I can't vouch for the 1st Mech Inf Div, but I know that my unit, the 24th had no SF guys in it). And the whole Shannon thing was kind of creepy-how old was he(since he was back from the war and practicing law again) when he started going out with a high school girl?
This whole book just squicked me out-thank heavens it came from a second hand shop.

This review is from: Boss Man (The Long Tall Texans) (Mass Market Paperback)

This is a fairly typical Palmer book, which to me is a good thing. It was well on its way to 5 stars but the ending was a bit of a disappointment for me. It is made clear to the reader that Blake likes Violet a lot, and will work hard to make a happy marriage, but he never confesses his undying love as her other heroes always do. It just feels a bit like a relationship based on lust on his part, and one can only hope love will blossom in the future. This one kept me entertained but will not go on my keeper shelf to be re-read until it falls apart, as has been the case with so many of her other stories.

This review is from: Boss Man (The Long Tall Texans) (Mass Market Paperback)

I love Diana Palmer. She's one of my favorite writers. However, this book left me disappointed. One reviewer mentioned it and I'll mention it again - He never said he loved her! I even flipped back a few pages to see if I missed something. Nope. He never said it. From their previous mention in other novels I was really looking forward to their story. It was quite upsetting not to have the great story I know that Diana can write!
