Rage of Passion

Rating:
Summary: ROMANCE AT ITS BEST!!
Review: This is my third DP book and I liked it. The hero tends to come off a bit too-roughed for my taste, though. There were times when I found it hard to believe that the heroine would take to a man who would deliberately set out to hurt her. Aside from that, I found the story fast-paced and sensually charged, a book to stay up with. My only problem is that there are a lot of similiarities with her other books (Cattleman's Choice, The Case of the Mesmerizing Boss, etc.). The men are usually rugged, physically and emotionally; they're also many years older(on the shady side of thirty-five) than the heroine (who's usually in their early twenties or a few years older), and the heroine is a virgin or has had such a bad experience with sex that she's as close to being a virgin as one can get. I've found it hard to believe that a heroine coming straight out of college and has had no real love life can fall in love so quickly and know that's she'll feel this way the rest of her life, without ever dealing with the euphoria and pain of first love. I don't mind reading a story with a much older man every now and then, but after a while it gets redundant. I don't understand the author's fascination with rough, older man-vulnerable, younger woman romances. This will not stop me from reading DP books, however, I just hope the formula will change.

Summary: Packed with enough hot dialogue and emotion to keep reading.

Summary: First book I've read by this author; I enjoyed it.
Review: This is the first book I've read by Diana Palmer and I thought it was pretty good. I liked it enough to want to check out other books by this author. All in all, not bad and I will recommend it to my friends.

Summary: i love anything diana palmer writes.
Review: While the book moves a little slowly, the basic Diana Palmer theme weaves throughtout the book. How does the reader know what she would do if confronted by Gabe on that sofa? She might change her mind about all the "scents" from the barnyard. Please, please, keep on writing Diana. I will keep on buying.
