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!

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.

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!

I read Solder's of Fortune and i couldn't wait for this book to come out. I was very disapointed. There was not enough development of the characters and too much concentration on getting ready to fight off the "bad guys".

Though I didn't find it as an utter disappointment that other reviewers seemed to find the book, I did somewhat enjoy it and found that although the story could have had a little more length to it to add some more action, I enjoyed the hero and heroine. I had been looking forward to getting this book and as it was not one of the best books that I have read by Ms. Palmer, I can't say that it has been the worst either.

I have been reading Diana Palmer for the past 18 years, and I have to say that this is the worst book that I have ever read by her. Maybe I am just getting too old for her typical storyline of slightly emotionally scarred virgin. What girl in this day and age gets that put off by a grope in a truck by the man she has been chasing for 2 years. How many virgins can there be and why do all the great rough and tough men live in Jacobsville? Puhleeze! I was partially disapointed because I expected J.D. and Gaby to be in this and that was one of my favorites. If you are looking for them, don't, they are vaguely referenced in one line. Goodluck getting through this, I persevered hoping that it would get better. Do yourself a favor, if you have to read this because you love the author, wait for the used book store, I am sure they will be over run with copies from other disapointed reader.

I have read several of Diana Palmer's books and I usually enjoy them. This one was a definite disappointment!! Too many characters, the story line was unbelievable and the heroine seemed to lack confidence and was silly at times. I do not recommend this book.

I love Diana Palmer Books but would not recommend this book if you have not read her previous soldier of fortune works. She brings back many of the characters from these books and the story can become very confusing if you are not familiar with them. That said I had trouble putting the book down. Eb and Sally really spark flames off of each other! Way to go Diana!

I couldn't put this book down until the end because it was good in it's own way. But I must say that it wasn't as I expected it to be. This one isn't like the others in the soldiers of fortune series and I was disappointed. There was too much about the drug cartel and so many characters. i thought that the author should of focused more on Eb's and Sally's relationship. There was too many characters unlike the other books and i didn't like some of them like some of them.

Too vague, rambling, hard to follow. Really needed an editor or proof reader. Not up to Diana Palmer's usual stadards. Seem to be an introduction to follow up books.
