Product Description

Sassy Peale is desperate to help her family, but her meager salary doesn't stretch far. Then she meets John Callister, and she thinks her new friend is an honest-to-God cowboy—rugged and trustworthy.

But John isn't a ranch hand, he's a millionaire from one of Montana's most powerful families! And when Sassy finds out who he really is, she's certain the arrogant millionaire is just playing with her. John has to convince Sassy that he's the man she first thought he was—a diamond in the rough.

1.0 out of 5 stars Diana Palmer What Happened? This was a disappointment!, March 31, 2009
I am a diehard fan. I have almost every Diana Palmer book ever written even the ones under Diana Blayne and Susan Kyle and there have been a few in recent times that haven't been up to total Diana's best, but this one was a true disappointment. I was very excited to see it being offered and had it reserved only to be very disappointed with the read. The hero John, although had some more depth that the usual cowboy could have gone so much further with a deeper story. And Sassy, again, without a strong story, just withered and died as a heroine. There was too much that was just left out, not even alluded to... just plain left out...like... the entire wedding night Diana. Her sensual writing has always been such a strong point and her western heroes so delicious but this was a real sad story. And the whole sexual predator angle could have really been a page turner but again, fell flat. And the cancer aspect....come on Diana...in today's time...do you really want us to believe that doctors would have this poor woman suffering needlessly and then it takes a master surgeon to realize that she just needed an operation to recover completely. Oh Diana. Maybe you need to get away for a little while and recharge your batteries. We miss your wonderfully written western heroes with their strong attitudes and sensual natures and their heroines with their sassiness. This wasn't it by a long shot.

4.0 out of 5 stars From J. Kaye's Book Blog, May 13, 2009
By J. Kaye Oldner (http://j-kaye-book-blog.blogspot.com/) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
John Callister and his brother, Gil, own a ranching empire in Medicine Ridge. His brother has a wife and kids and John feels like the odd man out. He decides to expand their enterprise by purchasing a rundown ranch in Hollister. He goes under an assumed name, not wanting the locals to get wind of his financial status.

At the local feed store, he meets a Sassy Peale, an attractive young woman who carries more weight on her shoulders than one person should. When he comes to her rescue, she views him as her prince. He's attracted to her, but feels there is too much of an age difference between them.

Readers familiar with Diana Palmer, this is the typical older man - younger woman scenario. The female character is poor and wholesome to a fault. The thirty-something John Wayne style hero is rich beyond imagination and feels like falling for a nineteen year old virgin isn't right.

Yes, DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH is predictable, but sometimes I like it that way. Coming off a stressful day, it's nice to plug into something light. And at only 192 pages, I can read it all in one sitting.

2.0 out of 5 stars diamond in th rough, April 14, 2009
By E. Houston (washington) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book was fairly interesting. There was alot of unnecessary information, that was not pertinent to the story. Ms. Palmer has done much better work. This one was just something to put out there.
