 Unbelievable Jul 10, 2008
This book was terrible. It read like a bad 1970's B-movie (I always get the feeling when I read her books that she's not up to date with the current year wer'e in). I do believe Ms. Palmer is stuck in a time-warp and I think the characters (male and female) are just plain stupid. All of her female characters were either born and raised in a barn or kept in the closet and let out occasionally. No one in the US can be as naive as her female characters; they love emotional abuse from their men; the men usually have way too many hang-ups and what reasonably intelligent woman would keep putting up with them. Really! Who would believe that so many former intelligence agents, live in one small town in Texas. Maybe she should stick to historicals.

 Don't give up on Ms. Palmer May 13, 2008
I read iron cowboy very fast when I received it. Out of habit I immediately reread this book. Upon rereading it I read things I missed the first time. Jared to feel remorse but coped badly with his quilt and of course blamed Sarah. No doubt this was not the best book I have every read, but I did enjoy it. Ms. Palmer is a good writer, but I think it would be hard to develop a good story when you only have 190 some pages to do it in. I found ms. palmer books are really good when she has more pages to develop and expand the characters. I wanted more from this book
that the page limit would not allow. So, I think we need to give ms. palmer some credit that she even accomplished a far better written book then some of the other harlequin desire books I have wasted my money on.
Her desire books are a lot more complete and less rushed then the others.
So, please reread this book, slowly and maybe you will see what I mean.
I have read some really bad books in my life time by bestselling authors,
this one was a step above some of those.

Please, Mrs. Palmer read some of your old books!!!!! May 10, 2008
O, dear God!!! I wish Diana Palmer will be able to read this review!
I have been her fan for more then 15 years.I have about 100 hundred books of hers.
What is going on with Mrs. Palmer in the last 5 or so years? She is not capable of writting anything that can even come close to any of her older books.
This particular book is so booooring...Sara is huging Jared in cemetery and offering him to look out for each other,and he is so interested in the North African theater of war,uh give me a break Diana!And please do not put on your books something like " brand new Long Tall Texans story", because I have all of those stories and the new ones are just very bad.Why is that I am wondering??
Why Mrs Palmer does not stick to her writting style that made her so popular!! I think she should read some of her old stories just to refresh her memory what we like and EXPECT from her. Mrs. Palmer let's start with September morning from 1983., or Unlikely lover.
Please, Mrs.Plmer do change and start delivering the new stories but written in your old style.Thank you.
If it is possible I will give this book less then one star.

Disgusted Apr 27, 2008
I think it is official. Diana you should turn in your pen. I am sorry but this was the worst yet. How does anyone condone the fact that this poor girl who had lived through enough was a victim of date rape? Just because you know your attacker does not mean it is any less awful. Yet, it was never acknowledged as this by the author or those around them. He intended for them to have sex and she did not plan or want to have intimate relations. He took advantage of her and showed no true remorse. As usual for Diana's characters, she took the blame which is typical for most victims. Ms. Palmer, your views are from a day gone by. Men who treat women so horribly are no longer found acceptable in today's society. I commend you for holding high moral standards for your women but why is it ok for your men to act so atrociously? Readers, please be warned when you read this book, it is a substandard example of a once wonderful writer.

Laughable Apr 16, 2008
This had to be one of the worst books I've ever read. The characters were unbelievable, the plot ridiculous and the storyline was just awful. This is the only Diana Palmer book I've ever read and if this is any indication of her work, it will be my last. When she introduces characters from her other books (I suspected that's what they were based on how ridiculously they were introduced) it was so convoluted it was amusing. I tried to explain this book to some coworkers and all I could do was laugh at how ridiculous the whole storyline was. When asked why I didn't just put it down, I said that it reminded me of trainwreck...I couldn't look away!
