Rating: Summary: A definite Wall-Banger.. Review: I enjoyed the second story in this anthology the most, as it lacked much of the redundancy and silliness that marked the other two. Mari's deep dark secret was laughable, and Tess was just TSTL (Too Stupid To Live).
The Unlikely Lover was a story that I forgot immediately after reading. Mari and Ward made no impression on me whatsoever. 3 Stars
The Princess Bride was much more readable. I enjoyed the interaction between King and Tiffany. I also liked the evil secretary (straight out of a 1930's serial!). 4 Stars
Now, the third story "Callaghan's Bride" is the one that made me decide to give this book one star. Alone, it would be a negative star book! Tess was irritating, Cag was a horrible individual that was completely unappealing (but his snake was nice- I would read a story about the snake in a heartbeat). Tess and Cag are "forced" to marry-Cag gets mad, Tess leaves and goes to St. Louis, a decided change from land-locked Jacobsville! Sure, St. Louis has a river (actually two) but you can't get more "land-locked" locked than Missouri (I lived less than one mile from the river, in Soulard)! Tess finds an apartment (rented by the week, nearly impossible in any city for an apartment that you would be able to live in) that's close to the job she found as a pastry chef (wqith no training and no experience) in a downtown hotel. No mention is made of the St Louis Arch, which is right on the river front, in downtown St Louis, yet Tess watches the barge traffic go by. There were so many flaws in this book that I was practically throwing it against the wall every time one of the numerous errors came up. Good thing I didn't or I would be paying for someone to fix multiple holes in my walls. -5 stars
Rating: Summary: Excellent! Review: I have read a few of Diane Palmer's book, they were all great, but this one is really excellent, the three different stories about mari, tess and tiffany were great and the cowboys were dreamy. I loved the other characters as well. These were all very touching stories about unlikely weddings. Very sexy book.
Rating: Summary: Worth reading indeed! Review: I love reading Diana Palmer's book. She is one of my favorite romance writer. If you love books about the strong hero, old fashion, and the heroine young, naive and virgin also old fashion, you will love diana's white wedding. six different characters pop out at you with different problems although sticking to the same themes, and after pain and suffering they end up together. I just wish that diana would write about successful women, with careers, who have spunk (but i like the virgin part/monogamous). I want to read about heros who are comfortable with women who are adventurous, challenging and talented and not intimidated by them. I also think that she should evolve and write about heroine and heros of different race. i'm black and i would love to read books about different races from my favorite author. I also recommend her Long Tall TExan series which follow in the plot of the above mentioned. If you are into the paranormal check out christine feehan dark series publish by lovespell, especially dark magic, dark prince and dark gold, of course you'll want to read the others, these books are great.

Rating: Summary: fluff Review: I picked up this book while browzing for something to read while waiting for Nora Robert's newest to be released. I found the story lines to be weak and the characters' behaviors not believable or realistic. It is a light, fluffy read, but following on the coattails of Nora Roberts and Sandra Brown, not particularly spell binding. I'll stick with Nora!
Rating: Summary: Worth reading indeed! Review: If you're a Diana Palmer's fan, it's really worth reading! Make sure you have it as one of your collections!
Rating: Summary: THE WEDDING IN WHITE - HARLEQUIN EXCLUSIVE Review: THE WEDDING in WHITE is a Harlequin Exclusive and not this trilogy listed but had to let people know that this is an Excellent book also.Mack Killain, twenty eight, had been responsible for raising his three siblings and has no desire to be tied down and no desire for starting over in raising children. Twenty two year old sister, Vivian, who incidentally wants to go with a man who had acknowledged getting another girl pregnant. Of course Mack does not like the man. Then there is sixteen year old brother, Bob whom he advises, in a droll tone, to carry protection on his dates. And brother, Charles. Natalie Brock is Vivian's best friend, and has a yen for Mack for years. She is also shocked to find out that the love of her high school life had gotten a long talk from Mack before going on a date. The young jock was killed shortly thereafter. And now Mack informs Natalie that her football hero only dated her on a bet. Natalie also finds herself a bit jellous of Glenna, a free and willing woman that Mack sees when he needs a little free-for-all. Natalie doesn't know that Mack has been keeping his desire for her under strict control since she was seventeen and he was twenty-one. Trouble was had by Natalie, Vivian and Mack [read it] and it took almost losing Natalie to bring Mack around and straighten out Vivian. A great story - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED -- great addition to the Palmer collection.
Rating: Summary: Wrong category Review: This is a good book, but if you are looking for a Princess Diana book, this is not one.
