November 30, 2010 Harlequin Desire (Book 2054)
Follow New York Times bestselling author Diana Palmer to Medicine Ridge, Montana, and meet Police Chief Theodore Graves—a man as rugged as the land he passionately wants to claim as his own. Only one thing stands in his way, a feisty woman who is prepared to meet his challenge. Sparks fly as they go toe-to-toe, but can the man with a will of steel finally learn what it means to bend?

1.0 out of 5 stars How about something new... really, I mean NEW?, December 7, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
OK so when I bought my kindle last year I made a point of buying Diana Palmer's books, especially the series in Jacobsville, Medicine Ridge, etc and I've read most of them one right after the other. Probably not a good idea, because ALL of her books are starting to read the same. I wonder if she just uses the "Find / Replace" function on MS Word to change the names.

This particular book I'm already 40% of the way thru and NOTHING has happened. Yes the heroine is not yet 21. Yes the hero is in his 30's. She is a nervous virgin with no world experience. He is able to read minds and knows exactly what she's thinking with every facial expression. So far... I don't know what the book is about other than their uncles say they have to marry to keep land that isn't profitable. But all of this is covered in 2 pages with the rest of the book being about the National Geographic and History channel shows.

I'm BORED.

How about a book where we have a "woman" older - say late 20's or early 30's. I man closer to her in age and experience. Two people put in a circumstance that seems real where working together they fall in love. When I read a romance novel, I want to imagine myself as the heroine and dream of the perfect man as my hero.

These books (in this day and age) that continue to write about "women" being 19-20 years old with men 10-16 years older just remind me of the guests on Maury, Jerry Springer, etc.

Please... write to the maturity level of your audience. I'm begging you.

2.0 out of 5 stars Save your dollars, December 2, 2010
This review is from: Will of Steel (Harlequin Desire) (Mass Market Paperback)
I love Diana Palmer. This book was not up to her usual standard. First off, it was really slow. It was more of a history lesson then a romance. A book from the Desire series should have been more.....sexy. I blame the publisher. Shame on them. They knew this was a stinker, so what did they do? They add Reluctant Father, which most Diana Palmer fans own or have read, and increase the price, which we would have to pay if we wanted to read Will of Steel. They probably guessed bad reviews might keep people from buying. I gave one star for the book, and one for being Diana Palmer.

2.0 out of 5 stars Painful to read..., December 2, 2010
By 
This review is from: Will of Steel (Harlequin Desire) (Mass Market Paperback)
First off, let me say that I LOVE Diana Palmer's books. She is by far one of my favorite authors...but this book was the worst I've ever read. I can say that it was a nice change of pace to have a kind hero, but once again, the heroine was way too shy and needed to speak up for herself when she was getting harassed.

One thing I've noticed with Palmer's books is that she repeats certain verbs and phrases way too much. Like "she flushed...she bit her lip...etc." Also, it was said multiple times that the hero "couldn't boil water" or "could burn water" and yet halfway through the story he makes the best omelet that she's ever tasted.

The worst thing about the book was the repetition of random historical facts. The conversations they have are not realistic at all! Everytime I read one of her books and this happens (which is happening more and more lately) I can't help but think of the scene in Wayne's World when they meet Alice Cooper backstage and everyone starts talking about where the name Milwaukee originated from. It's so random but the difference is that in Wayne's World it's supposed to be funny.

To all of Diana Palmer's new readers...DO NOT start with this book. You probably shouldn't even end with it. I would highly recommend Lawless and True Colors.
