no issues

You can't go wrong with a Diana Palmer love story. All the edge of your seat angst, The delightful love scenes and personal drama make a great book.

Bowie finds 1/2 frozen 15 year old Gaby in the stable. He takes her into Aggie his mother. She takes Gaby in and raises her like the daughter she always wanted. About 10 years later Bowie takes her out to dinner and tells her that Aggie is bringing a boyfriend home from the cruise. He knows that Ned is after Aggie s money. They need to save her.A wonderful story. With lovable characters. A touch of danger a bit of wit. What more could you want?

I am a huge DP fan. Have a lot of her books, but have been noticing lately that all the books have the same plot. Hero is older, heroine is virgin who is repressed etc. I still read them, but they have lost there appeal

I love Diana Palmer books! Her stories are so good. They keep you interested from beginning to end. Never want to put them down.

I have read almost all D. Palmer's books. I found this one to be a good read that follows her general pattern. I also found the heroine to have some brass and she stood up to the hero many times and was not afraid to tell the truth.

Seems odd to read of the past :-) With cigarette smoking, computers just coming out, even less cell phones.. It was good and I enjoyed the look back, the story was well written and believable!

I love her characters and her stories. I wonder if I will ever read all her books.

As always I love anything Diana Palmer! The sad part for me is when I get to the last chapter and realize I have to wait for more

I read this book on the ferry. These books are what I would term 'light reading.'

The first half of the book felt like it dragged a bit talking about politics and environmental issues neglecting the build up of the relationship between the main characters. The story started to pick up on the second half of the book where the focus returns to Gaby and Bowie. The intense emotional connection between them was felt through the pages as well as the very tender moments and very steamy sex. The scene in the swimming pool was HOT. Great read despite the slow and boring talk of politics. Highly recommended

Great book
