Summary: Cattleman's Choice
Review: Diana Palmer is a great writer. And my absolute favorite was her Soldier of Fortune series. In Cattleman's Choice the hero's story was very touching. He was tough, sexy, and funny. The heroine was very sweet but she also gave him back as good as she got. Is was sad that her fiance had died, and it was okay that she morned. But I did not like that she seemed to have been so in love before, infatuated, okay. The reason we read romance novels is for the great stories about true love

Summary: A great passionate escape into the ultimate romance!
Review: Diana Palmer really knows how to crank up the sexual tension between her characters. Carson is a macho "diamond in the rough" who has been longing for Madelyn for years! He finally decides to do something about it, and enlists Maddie's help in polishing himself for the woman he wants. Maddie has no idea the woman is her. The scenes between them are passionate, and hilarious. It's a great read, but don't pick it up unless you can finish it in one sitting. It's impossible to put down.

Summary: Diana Palmer is the best! She out shines everyone else!
Review: I love Diana Palmer! I have read nearly all of her stories and "Cattleman's Choice" is my favorite. I recomend it to all of my female friends. Her male characters are so strong and wonderful. I fall in love with every one of them myself. I wish I could write stories like Diana Palmer but I satisfy myself with reading hers.

Summary: Tugged at my heart...
Review: I loved her female and male characters. Strong, brass man but tender hearted...the kind you fall in love with. I read in one setting. Enjoyed tremendously.

Summary: Yeah, yeah, it was OK, I guess.
Review: I was going to give this book 2 stars, but upped it to 3 stars because the hero was pretty darn eccentric and funny. (His obnoxious outbursts in a fancy restaurant and then ballet performance were particularly hilarious!)

The problem I had with this book was that it was pretty much a re-make of Palmer's own '80s "Diamond Girl", with just a few elements swapped around. In "Diamond Girl" the girl was the one who had the makeover (i.e "Diamond in the rough"). In "Diamond Girl", the hero had the dead wife that he secretly mourned. Blah blah blah.

Since I happened to read both these books back-to-back, the similarity was quite obvious. Do all of Diana Palmer's book go over the same theme, over and over again? I sure hope not.

Both books had the "oh my gosh, I am burning with the desire of a thousand flames for you, but I'm too [messed] up to admit it to you" thing going on.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Whatever.

Summary: One of Palmer's best!
Review: I was really intrigued when I read the summary of the plot for this book - not too many of Palmer's westerns have high-society gals in them. But Mandy is actually very down to earth, and a saint to put up with all that Carson puts her through. I ached for them both, neither thinking that the other could possibly love them and hurting each other in the process. Palmer's signature passionate scenes and honest dialogue are in top form in this one. A real keeper!

Summary: A Keeper!
Review: If you are like me and read romance novels to enter that special world of ideal love and romance this book is a must. Diana Palmer has a bit of every kind of romance that so many of us like. Unrequited, yearning, desperate love, a soft and feminine lady who is all woman and a hero who is all rough male who is willing to do anything for her including change but discovers that she loves him just as he is
