This story was ok. It really isnt anything special. This is going to be an opinion from someone whos read over 30 books from Diana Palmer.

If like me, you have read various books by this author, you'll see that this is absolutely nothing new. Diana Palmer is very repetitive in her plots. However, in some stories, her characters are so magnificient that you like it. But, this was not the case.

Story is about a young woman (Kit) who is completely in love with Matt. She has gotten a job offer in New York that she cant refuse. The problem is, Matt is beginning to see Kit in a new way. He starts courting her and doing everything possible so that she can change her mind and not go to New York.

I didnt like the characters in this story. Sure, Kit is a sweet girl who had ambitions. However, shes so contradicting. She supposedly loves Matt, yet she refuses to express her real feelings in most instances. She is also very mindfully passionate but she freaks out at physical contact. Matt on the other hand is dull. He also doesnt express his feelings. Everything about their relationship is physical, and not even mediocre physicality at that.

The ending is bad. It is so abrupt. Nothing special and very predictable.

Overall, if youre a fan of Palmer you'll probably like it because her stories are good but very much the same. If you are barely getting into her stories, i recommend it because this is the way most of her stories are. Good book, but the characters werent great.

Matt and Catherine are a great couple -- even if they're having trouble convincing each other! One of the most likeable elements is their history together. Rather than being two strangers falling in love almost instantaneously, they grew up together. An interesting twist on the girl-next-door phenomenon.

And, the family dynamics are great -- a bewildered mother and meddling brother. I came to love this family and rooted for Matt and Catherine throughout.

This was well on its way to being a 5-star book for me until the end. Spoilers follow, so don't read on if you don't want to know...anyway, the chemistry between Kit and Matt was smoldering, Palmer did a fantastic job of escalating the romance and sexual tension between the two through the whole story, but then doesn't give the reader the payoff of them making love for the first time. She writes such amazing love scenes in most of her other books, but cut the story short this time, with no wedding and no wedding night that had been so anticipated. Great story otherwise, but I can't give it five stars without a trademark Palmer love scene.

I REALLY LOVED THIS BOOK.I REALLY LIKED THE FACT THAT MATT HAD REMAINED CELEBATE FOR SEVERAL YEARS AFTER REALIZING HIS FEELINGS FOR CATHRYN. YOU CAN FEEL THE LOVE AND PASSION THIS COUPLE FEELS FOR EACH OTHER FROM THE START OF THIS BOOK. YOU CAN FEEL CATHRYNS STRUGGLE TO HIDE HER FEELINGS FROM MATT SINCE SHE DOESNT KNOW OF HIS TRUE FEELINGS FOR HER. HE AFTER ALL HAS BEEN A PART OF HER LIFE FOR MOST OF HER LIFE. DIANA PALMER WRITES THE KIND OF STORYS I LOVE. I READ EVERYTHING SHE WRITES AND I WOULD GIVE HER TWO THUMBS UP. SHE IS ONE OF THE BEST. IF YOU LIKE THIS BOOK TRY EVAN AND CALHOUNE ALSO BY DIANA PALMER. YOU MAY ALSO WANT TO TRY ELIZABETH LOWELLS BOOKS.

A wonderful story! I have read this book at least five times already! If you are an avid fan of Diana Palmer than you should love this book! If you have yet to discover the unique brand of romance Diana Palmer creates then you should start with this one! The chemistry between the two characters sizzle!. I loved Catherine who was both weak and strong (for isn't that how most people are?)and Matt who exuded strength through every pore of his body and yet had that one weakness in him that every romance should have (a weakness for the heroine:)

I originally ordered this book online bcs. I loved reading "The Diamond Girl"(another book by DP) & thought this book'd be similarly good since it had a similar title, but I've regretted this decision bitter ever since I've received & read it.... (This one wasn't even half as emotional-gripping/sensual as "The Diamond Girl"....)

I've read so many Diana Palmer books and was not dissapointed! This book is filled with chemistry between the leads. It was a good story with a good ending. I recommend it!

I didn't like it much, and after reading this book I don't think I'll buy anymore of this author.
I didn't feel like the characters was in love. The man was more like a father.The characthers was not developing much and the books seemed like not having any deep meaning. After reading half of the book it didn't seem like anything had happened.
I was really dissapointed after reading the reviews and I thought that it mush be a really good book anyway if I can I won't even give it one star.

I'm sorry and I hope I didn't offend the ones that loves this book, I just want to say what I thought.

A BOOK THAT WILL KEEP YOU UP ALL NIGHT. IF YOU CAN FIND IT BUY IT.
