unlike the first and second book , this which follows on the series of the long tall texans and the book , most wanted , pales in comparison with the books

the stories are too short and it just jumps into the ending
not an enjoyable read

pass on this books and get others

Is the writer a man?, one would think so with the reading of these books. No woman worth her salt is going to put up with the arrogance and conceit of these men. The women are stong in their own fields, yet they become marshmallows at the hands of these men, get real. While the reading is easy enough, I found myself putting the book down because I would get angry. Yes, I'm aware that it is just a book, but if I'm going to spend my money, at least I should get pleasure from reading it which in this case I did not. If this is a sample of Palmer's writing, I won't being wasting my money anytime soon.

I gave it four stars because I liked Regan and Burke's stories but I didn't like Emmett because he moved way to fast. First he hates Melody for helping his first wife run off with another man, then he wants to marry her after one afternoon on the ranch and her to have a baby right away. From secondary charactors this seemed to be a pattern with Emmett. After losing his parents (yes tragically) he rushed into marriage with Adell and had kids pretty soon afterwards. Yet its never even addressed by anyone.The reason repeatedly given for his divorce was it was his wife's fault and that poor Emmett was blameless. No one pointed out to him that maybe rushing into a marriage and a family wasn't a good idea especially after losing both his parents. Yet he does the same thing with Melody. Rushing into another marriage so quickly, even though his kids obviously still have problems reguarding their mother's departure.
I liked Melody a lot but it seemed like he was telling her want to do through the whole story. That he wanted to get married in a week and that he wanted her to get pregnant. The wrap up of the story was too quick also. I did like the wild antics that the kids they were a roit.

Regan and Burke's stories were pretty good. I couldn't stand Emmett at all. First he hates Melody for helping his first wife run off with another man and is very nasty to her. Then suddenly Emmett then he wants to marry her after one afternoon on the ranch and the next day Emmett to have a baby right away. This seemed to be a pattern with Emmett. After losing his parents Emmett rushed into marriage with Adell and had kids
pretty soon afterwards. No one pointed out to him that maybe rushing into a marriage and a family wasn't a good idea especially after losing both his parents instead all the fault of the divorce is on his wife from what's mentioned in the book and how Emmmett tries Melody I can understand why Adell left. I liked Melody a lot. She started out the story a very strong charactor until she meets Emmett then some how loses her strong charactor along with her back bone by doing everything Emmett tells her want to do.

This book was too quick, and the characters developed too quickly. I thought that the first Long, Tall Texan book (Calhoun, Justin & Tyler) was great, but this one lacked substence. Emmette's story was the worst. First he hates Melody then he wants to marry her and have a baby with her after just one day. That is just so unrealistic. Not my favorite Long Tall Texan, I wouldn't waste my time if I were you.

Diana Palmer is my favorite romance author. Her stories draw you in, and you lose track of time. They are very hard to put down.

This indeed includes the proper people it is advertising. The Justin, Colhoun, and Tyler book is dark blue with a dark texan on the cover (I own it and have read it several times, so have my friends) We are part of a book group and we absolutly enjoy her writing. I find my self rereading almost all of them!

You say this book is about Emmet, Regan and Burke - in fact - it is not! Where is the book about Emmet, Regan and Burke. This book is about Calhoun, Justin and Tyler - what is going on?

These reviews are for another book - this book is about Calhoun Justin and Tyler - not Emmet Regan and Burke - what is going on here?
