4.0 out of 5 stars The first three books of the Long Tall Texans series., November 14, 2004

This review is from: Long, Tall Texans (Calhoun, Justin, and Tyler) (Paperback)

Although I enjoy reading DP's books, I get tired of the repetition. Sometimes I think if you have read one of her books then you have read them all. The heroines are usually naive virgins who don't know how to dress and put up with too much from the heros. The heros usually behave badly until they quit fighting their feelings for the heroine. And all the jewelry stores only sell emerald solitairs. Reguardless of all this the stories are usually good. Some are better than others. But I do wish the women had careers, backbones, and didn't need a makeover. Justin was my favorite in this book because Shelby didn't need a makeover or seem so naive.

This was the first book by Diana Palmer that I read. And it was where I fell in love with the Long Tall Texan's. I loved the tension between the characters. And would have to say that Calhoun's story would have to be my favorite with Justin coming behind closely in second. This book was great a definite keeper!

2.0 out of 5 stars Ordinary DP - and I do mean ordinary, June 17, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Long, Tall Texans (Calhoun, Justin, and Tyler) (Paperback)

I adore Diana Palmer for the most part. I can't relate to the "modern" heroines that have been coming out of books in recent years and hers are usually old fashioned and virginal and the men bring them out of their shells. I have a similar personality to those basic qualities. But there is a such thing as being too stuck on the same story.

First of all, does she watch soap operas and think that's how people really talk? I have never once said to a man, "It's so sweet!" when being kissed and yet every one of her romantic characters says it at least once in every book I've ever read by her. And every hero I've ever read by her calls the heroine "little one". These women are innocent to the point of being ridiculous! Particularly Shelby who was the eldest and the most immature. I couldn't figure out why a guy like Justin would even be interested in her! 27 years old is a bit old to be embarrassed and completely imbecilic about sex. Abby and Nell were reproductions of the same character and has anyone else noticed that in nearly every book DP writes her heroines end up staying home to have kids? And of course then they talk about it like it's the best thing that's ever happened to them. I love melodrama - it's why I continued to put up with her half-hearted efforts in every book over these past few years - but this is suspending disbelief a bit too much. And does she have an Oedipus complex? The heros treat the heroines almost like children, but then the heroines ACT like children. Still, at least the stories were interesting enough to get me engrossed even as I was wincing at the silliness of her heroines. That's why it got two stars rather than one.
