GREAT READ, April 13, 2009
This review is from: Carrera's Bride (Bestselling Author Collection) (Silhouette Special Editions) (Mass Market Paperback)
Very good book. This was the 1st DP novel I've read that was NOT set in Texas or with cowboy-type characters. I was worried it wouldn't draw me in like the previous books, but I was VERY wrong. This was an excellent book. I absolutely loved the characters and the storyline. There was some very passionate moments in the book that keep me reading until I was done with the book. Highly recommend.

My favorite, by far, August 25, 2009
This review is from: Carrera's Bride (Bestselling Author Collection) (Silhouette Special Editions) (Mass Market Paperback)
This is my favorite DP book--Marcus is my all-time favorite DP hero (there's a 4-way tie for second place: Cash Grier, Micah Steele, Matt Caldwell & Colby Lane), he's a complex man--a reformed gangster w/ a reputation that intimidates even the bad guys, a loving concerned uncle to his brother's orphaned children, a good friend to those he cares about but still a dangerous man to cross. I first encountered Marcus in Renegade & liked him immediately so I was eager to read this book. Delia Mason is a sweet, courageous young woman & she & Marcus are magic together. I like Mr. Smith, too & would like to know more about him.
The only problem I had w/ the story was that Marcus & Delia end up in bed together too soon, they've only known each other one day, but there's strong chemistry between these two & they're soul mates, so even though the encounter seems to be rushing things, their intimacy & Delia's pregnancy are important to the story. Their bond is a strong one & Marcus goes to great lengths to keep Delia safe from his enemies. Even when tragedy strikes & he loses his memory he still wants to protect her.
I love this book for several reasons--the deep love between the main characters, the humor, even the sad parts. There are some truly heart-breaking moments. While Marcus has amnesia he doesn't remember who Delia is, he knows she saved his life & lost her baby in the process & it bothers him, then when he remembers & realizes the baby was his it breaks his heart-& mine too. Then, in the sweetest gesture I think I've ever seen in a romance novel, he makes a memorial quilt for the baby & takes it to Delia. Their reunion is bittersweet because of ther lost child but all ends well.
I've re-read this book several times & highly recommend it.

Great read, February 8, 2009
This review is from: Carrera's Bride (Bestselling Author Collection) (Silhouette Special Editions) (Mass Market Paperback)
Diana Palmer never fails to entertain. Carrera's Bride has everything. Romance, Action, suspence and drama. Carrera is not your average hero. He could easily be someone very unlikable but, this only makes him more realilistic. I have read many of Ms. Palmers other stories and he was mentioned previously. Diana introduces side characters in a way that makes you crave for their stories.
