Diana Palmer has done it again!, May 16, 2000
I never tire of reading a Diana Palmer book. In Mercenarys Woman she brought to life a new cast of characters and brought back alot of olders ones. Sally's and Eb's story revolves around a man named Lopez who runs a drug cartel. Sally's Aunt Jessica was the person who put Lopez in prison but now he is out and looking for revenge. Jessica, now blind, moves Sally and her son back to Jacobsville for protection. Protection in the form of Ebenezer Scott and his contacts. Diana has brought back her Soliders of Fortune series with a vengence. Sally and Eb's romance is filled with passion and danger, with Jessica's past love returning to complete the novel. I can't wait for the next installment of this series and I love the way Diana has incorporated her soldiers with her long tall texans. And a small note for Diana, hurry up with Micah and Cord's stories, I can't wait!

Palmer's Mercenaries are Back!, May 18, 2000
Just returned from a disaster in Africa, mercenary soldier Ebenezer Scott went too far in discouraging teenager Sally Johnson's crush. Now, six years later, Eb has left his active service and wants to woo Sally, but first he must protect her, her blind aunt and young cousin from returning enemies.
Sally and Eb's love story is joined by a separate story about her aunt and a former lover, distracting the reader. In addition, other mercenaries are introduced for future books, grabbing your attention. That said, this is still a terrific book, mixing the action and romance nicely. Sally is now enough woman to accept Eb's work, rough visitors, and Eb's macho quirks. You will even feel pity for drug lord and killer, Manuel Lopez, a man with his own peculiar honor.
I look forward to stories about Cy and Lisa, Maggie and Cole, Callie and Micah. And please give Rodrigo his own woman.

Anti-climatic (disappointing ending), May 21, 2000
Read Soliders of Fortune and it was a definite 5 star. Hoped that Diana Palmer would carry the same intensity over to this book but something was definitely missing. The ending was totally unbelieveable. Children, today, are not kidnapped especially by drug lords only to be returned without a fight, no ransom, no anything! Had interesting characters and if the author would have added another fifty pages of action and intensified the ending this book could have rated at least 4 stars instead of 1!
