Heart of Ice (Western Lovers: Denim & Diamonds #24) [Paperback]

Diana Palmer (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: 1984

The last thing in the world romance writer Katriane wanted to do was spend Christmas with her roommate's arrogant, infuriating brother. A rugged Wyoming rancher like Egan Winthrop belonged in New York City about as much as she belonged out in the wilderness. But Egan's deep kisses and powerful embrace soon stripped Katriane of her defenses. And the offer of a visit to his ranch was nothing short of sensual blackmail. Soon she had lost her heart as completely as the heroines in her own novels. But how could she convince Egan that, unlike those heroines, she had never yet been loved?

2.0 out of 5 stars Demeaning, June 18, 2004

This review is from: Heart of Ice (Silhouette Romance, No. 314) (Paperback)

Kati's friend has invited her brother, Egan, a tough western rancher, to New York for Christmas. Kati and Egan have always been at odds, but Kati resolves to try and be nice for her friend's sake. See, Kati is a romance novelist, therefore Egan automatically assumes that she is promsicuous and gets inspiration for her novels from her life. The two cannot deny their attraction to each other, so Egan invites Kati to his ranch so she can do research for her new book. Sparks fly even more, Egan learns how wrong he was, and the happy ending is wrapped up in a nice, neat, *fast* little package.

This story is packed with strong emotions and clashing personalities. Too bad Egan is so offensive that there is no way I could possibly like him. The comments he makes to Kati, calling her a [prostitute] and insinuating horrible things, are indefensible. Kati barely sticks up herself. It is also completely irrational that Egan assumes what he does about Kati. So irrational, it borders on absurd.

This is my first Palmer, and, while I don't like the book, I plan on reading more of her stuff because she writes well and knows how to elicit emotion from her reader.

4.0 out of 5 stars Near Great, November 9, 2006

Good story. I almost give it a full 5 stars. However, at one point it is annoying how immature and stubborn Egan can be.

Kate is a romance writer who is in love with this Egan character. Shes independent, strong, smart. She enjoys herself while still mainting her self-respect.

Egan on the other hand has a misconception of Kate just because she writes romance novels. He believes that Kate is easy because of the dialogue in her books. While it understandable that he thinks that way, at one point it begins to seem very annoying that he will not change his mind about her yet wants her to give in to him easily.

Basically, thats the story throughout the whole book. The only thing that makes up for it at the end, is when he confesses his love after many years. Some love, if he thinks about her that way.

A nice story, but only because of Kate. Egan saves his behind at the end, but nevertheless an annoying character.

I loved this book! For all of you Diana Palmer fans out there, this book is a must read! The chemistry between Katriane- (the romance writer) and Egan- (the tough rancher) is sizzling. Although I will say that there were times when I just wanted Katriane to smack Egan over the head for his snide remarks, but she gave as good as she got! This is Palmer at her best!
