Book Description

Publication Date: February 1, 1998

BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR…

He was everything Tiffany Blair wanted. He was danger. He was love…and she was meant to spend forever with him. Trouble was, Kingman Marshall insisted marriage was for fools. But for better, for worse, Tiffany vowed she'd walk down the aisle as King's bride.

King was equally determined to stay away from Tiffany. He was too old, too jaded and too burdened with secrets to indulge in fantasies of happily-ever-after with a sheltered princess. But if he succeeded in pushing her away, could he truly live without her?

Tiffany Blair is young, beautiful, and has always gotten everything she ever wanted. Now she wants her father's handsome business partner, Kingman Marshall, for her husband. King has known Tiffany since she was a little girl and it's a distinct shock to suddenly view her as a woman when she turns 21. Much as he wants her, however, King knows that he's much too jaded for the sheltered Tiffany; besides, his experience with his absentee mother has left him determined never to marry, and having an affair with his partner's daughter isn't an acceptable possibility. When he makes his position clear to Tiffany, she leaves town for New York City, determined to build a life without him. Six months later she returns to Texas, matured by her experiences and her broken heart. She quickly discovers that the passion between her and the difficult rancher has only grown hotter during their months apart. But Tiffany learns that she must be careful what she wishes for, because finding her dearest dream may have consequences that neither she nor King ever imagined.

3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed. Ms. Palmer isn't writing like she used to., March 13, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Princess Bride (Virgin Brides, SR, 1282) (Paperback)

Usually I really enjoy Diana Palmer. She's funny and her characters always seem to leap off the page. Unfortunately I have noticed that in rescent books, and particularily The Princess Bride, the characters are shallow and the plot incomplete. Not to mention the lack of Ms. Palmer's sense of humor. The herione, Tiffany, was immature and spoiled. Even after her move to New York, she was still annoying, more concerned with herself than any one else. She never seemed inlove with King and he never seemed more than in lust with her. The entire book seemed about 2 people who didn't belong together. Usually Ms. Palmer has very masculine hero's who are inlove with the heroine. I was never convinced that King wanted more than sex from Tiffany. Otherwise he seemed to find her annoying...like I did.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not one of her best. She was just going through the motions, March 22, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Princess Bride (Virgin Brides, SR, 1282) (Paperback)

Diana Palmer usually is one author that I pick up. I felt when I read this book, that she was just writing for sake of writing. The main characters I just could care a less about.

This review is from: Princess Bride (Virgin Brides, SR, 1282) (Paperback)

The back cover of the book reads: "He was everything Tiffany Blair wanted. He was danger. He was love...and she was meant to spend forever with him. Trouble was, the almighty Kingman Marshall insisted marriage was for fools. But for better, for worse, Tiffany vowed she'd walk down the aisle as King's bride. She was young, beautiful...and totally off-limits. He was too old, too jaded and too burned with secrets to indulge in fantasies of happily-ever-after with sheltered virgins. But what he wouldn't give to carry the ravishing Miss Blair over the threshold to womanhood. Be careful what you wish for..."

Althought I like Diana Palmer very much and I've read lots of her books, I have to say that I was disappointed by this one. There just weren't any real emotional connections between the hero and the heroine. The ending was lacking and the whole plot was a bit...flat.

Try "Color Love Blue," "Dark Surrender" (written as Diana Blayne), or "Fire Brand" (written as Susan Kyle) for great stories.
