The Winter Soldier [Large Print] [Hardcover]

Diana Palmer (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: August 2006

Most everyone in Jacobsville, Texas, steered clear of taciturn Cy Parks. However, spirited Lisa Monroe wasn’ t exactly quaking in her boots, and electrified the formidable loner with her sweetly tantalizing kisses. Their fiery passion escalated when the winter soldier returned to the line of duty— and claimed the lovely Lisa as his bride, to shield her from a revenge-seeking desperado. Clearly, Cy was getting mighty possessive of this enchanting woman who needed the type of safeguarding only he could provide. But who would protect the beguiling bride from him...?

My personal review, as an avid Diana Palmer reader, is that this is one of her more exciting, action-packed books. As it is one of her Soldiers of Fortune series, that is expected, but in addition, it was captivating with many sexual inferences. I would recommend this book to any person, whether or not they have had the pleasure of reading Diana's books.

1.0 out of 5 stars Same characters, different names, June 22, 2001

I love Diana Palmer books dearly. She writes basic romance novels. You know what you are getting when you buy one.

But I am starting to think that she is using the same file on her pc over and over, just changing the names and places around to make it a little different.

The basic story line is young girl meets older man. Older man is attracted to younger girl, is angry about it and is verbally abusive to her to fight the attraction, but at the same time protective. A marriage of convienence ensues. Passion overcomes and pregnancy results after only one encounter. Final conflict then happily ever after.

That would be alright if there was some originality included. I felt as if I had read the book before. I also felt a little lost. There seemed to be sentences that go no where. Like the start of a new direction that is just left hanging, or could it have been a line left from the last novel forgotten and not deleted?

Not her best effort.

I have read so far all of D. PALMERS books,
I can say this was an excellent book. The hereo character was what you will expect from a male hero. Cy Parks was dangers but gentle, understanding, and loving.

so if you do not own this book, you will be missing out on a great thing.
