1: One of my favorites!
This book has got to be one of my favorites by Diana Palmer. It's great...it has all the right components to make it a great story. Libby is strong...she handles the death of her father, the torment of her enemy, and the torture of her stepmother very well. I believe she's one of the strongest characters from Diana Palmer's books. Jordan Powell is simply great....although he does get blinded by a woman, its natural...at least it is realistic about what sometimes happens in real life. Jordan is very masculine and very passionate...one of the sweetest chracters as well..it has enough passion, action, and tenderness...overall this book is one of the best by far!

2: Transition is Odd
I love Diana Palmer books. This book is no exception. I loved it, but the transition from Jordan being cruel to Jordan being sweet and sorry was a little rushed. The story line was great, but that one small part was rushed and kind of made the story predictable. I still recommend reading it.

3: Please.....
Lately, Diana Palmer's books have started to annoy me...the copyright in my book says 2004, but the dialect is from way before! Jordan was a jerk who in the last chapter manages to somehow become Prince Charming, Curt did nothing for Libby, and Libby acted like a helpless little girl when Jordan was around. She's a paralegal, for heavens sakes! Another thing, why do they say "prophylactics"? when was the last time that word was used? It's a condom people. I'm also sick how in these books, the only reason they want to get married/fall in love is through sex. They don't really know each other, they just know they like kissing one another. I would not recommend this book; the conversation was so stilted.

4: I guess you either liked it or you didn't.
I actually loved this book and gone back again to read it a second time. There are a couple things and parts in this book that really made me mad and some things that were a little wrong, but it added to the story and was a good book. It starts out as Libby and Curt trying to save their home after their father dies. Their stepmom is trying to take it away from them by any means possible. Jordan owns the ranch next door and has been friends with Libby and Curt all their lives. Libby and Jordan fall for eachother, but he is much older than she is. Then, Libby and Jordan have a fallout due to political and age differences. Jordan starts seeing a woman named Julie. Then, for almost the rest of the book Julie has a grudge against Libby and torments her. Then things finally get straightened out and everyone lives happy ever after.
I didn't really like how the stepmom ups and dissappears by page 75. At the beginning of this book, you think that she is going to be the villian in the book, but by page 75 the whole situation is solved and you don't here anything else on her really. Julie is the villian in this book and you don't get introduced to her until much later in the book. Also, I didn't think that it was right for Jordan just to stand by and watch Libby take the abuse she got from Julie. I found it hard to believe he just stood there when Julie slapped her. Libby's life is threatened and then Jordan comes around to his senses.
I am used to Diana Palmer story lines, so I expected heated emotional scenes and lots of conflict and that is just what I got out of this book. It has a wonderful ending for everybody in this book and that's why I enjoyed it so much.

5: I loved it..
This was the first book by Diana Palmer that I have read, and I loved it. I have since gone out and bought Lawless, and have read it, too. I can't wait till August when Renegade comes out!
