Diana Palmer (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: November 1, 2007 | Series: STP - Mira

Justin Ballenger was jilted by Shelby Jacobs, privileged daughter of the Jacobsville fortune, for a wealthy playboy. After six resentful years, Shelby returned, penniless and alone. It was Justin's turn to sneer, but honor wouldn't allow it. He was sure he could never trust her again, but that old flame burned hotter than a three-alarm brush fi re—and Shelby had a secret that only fanned the fl ames.

2.0 out of 5 stars SECOND STORY WAS ONE OF THE WORST I'VE EVER READ!, December 1, 2010

This review is from: Long, Tall Texan Legacy: The Founding Father\Justin (STP - Mira) (Hardcover)

First story was short and light with entertaining characters that had spunk...the second story was BEYOND AWFUL! The Founding Father's only real downfall was in constantly referring to the heroine as unattractive. Once or twice would have been enough to get the picture. The second story, Justin, had NOTHING but downfalls...mere words cannot explain how awful this drawn out piece of junk was. I do not enjoy reading page after page about unbearably frigid "heroines" and demented nutcase "heroes" who are, of coarse, referred to constantly as unattractive. Yeesh! And sorry to my addicted friends, but there were SO many, many references to smoking cigarettes that I was in danger of secondhand smoke.

(I actually despised the characters in the second story so much that I flung the book out of my house--okay, I really donated it to a fund raiser--and hunted down a copy of just the first story because it was fun enough to have around.)

Diana Palmer uses the same recipe- but it is one that I can read without too much proble I can always find where I left off. Page turner.
