2.0 out of 5 stars Long Tall Texans-Emmett, Regan, Burke, May 30, 2001

By	Judie (Salinas, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Long Tall Texans: Emmett-Regan-Burke - LARGE TRADE PAPERBACK (Paperback)

Is the writer a man?, one would think so with the reading of these books. No woman worth her salt is going to put up with the arrogance and conceit of these men. The women are stong in their own fields, yet they become marshmallows at the hands of these men, get real. While the reading is easy enough, I found myself putting the book down because I would get angry. Yes, I'm aware that it is just a book, but if I'm going to spend my money, at least I should get pleasure from reading it which in this case I did not. If this is a sample of Palmer's writing, I won't being wasting my money anytime soon.

2.0 out of 5 stars a kinda letdown to the series, February 10, 2004

By	L. M. S. Megha "wanderer" (Seattle) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

unlike the first and second book , this which follows on the series of the long tall texans and the book , most wanted , pales in comparison with the books

the stories are too short and it just jumps into the ending
not an enjoyable read

pass on this books and get others

3.0 out of 5 stars Three Stars, December 31, 2003

By	Ramie Gustafson (Colorado) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Long Tall Texans: Emmett-Regan-Burke - LARGE TRADE PAPERBACK (Paperback)

I gave it four stars because I liked Regan and Burke's stories but I didn't like Emmett because he moved way to fast. First he hates Melody for helping his first wife run off with another man, then he wants to marry her after one afternoon on the ranch and her to have a baby right away. From secondary charactors this seemed to be a pattern with Emmett. After losing his parents (yes tragically) he rushed into marriage with Adell and had kids pretty soon afterwards. Yet its never even addressed by anyone.The reason repeatedly given for his divorce was it was his wife's fault and that poor Emmett was blameless. No one pointed out to him that maybe rushing into a marriage and a family wasn't a good idea especially after losing both his parents. Yet he does the same thing with Melody. Rushing into another marriage so quickly, even though his kids obviously still have problems reguarding their mother's departure.
I liked Melody a lot but it seemed like he was telling her want to do through the whole story. That he wanted to get married in a week and that he wanted her to get pregnant. The wrap up of the story was too quick also. I did like the wild antics that the kids they were a roit.
