REVIEW: Heart of Stone by Diana Palmer

August 29, 2008

Book Cover Limecello's review of Heart of Stone by Diana Palmer
Contemporary romance published by Silhouette on 1 Sep 08

The newest installment in the seemingly endless Long, Tall, Texan series, Heart of Stone doesn't really stand out from the rest. If you've never read one of Diana Palmer's books before, I'd encourage reading one of her other books first.

REVIEW: Eye of the Tiger by Diana Palmer

Contemporary romance published by Silhouette on 1 Mar 86

Most of you know I like Diana Palmer's books - and here, I'm going to try to explain. I will say, that this (along with Coltrain's Proposal, yes) is one of my favorite books. I only have about 20 more of her books to read (out of ~140?) so that should mean something. While reading the book, I kept wondering what it is about Ms. Palmer's books that I enjoy so much - and this book really highlights why I appreciate her writing. Read more

REVIEW: Night of Love by Diana Palmer

Contemporary Romance released by Silhouette Desire on Aug 93 & Dec 98
Released again in Mar 08 as one-half of Man of the Hour (see end of review)

This book is interesting, in my opinion, because it's not part of Diana Palmer's Long Tall Texans series. Of course, that's not the only intriguing facet about it. The characters are well written and developed, though their story is slightly similar to Ms. Palmer's other books. Read more

REVIEW: Secret Agent Man by Diana Palmer

Book CoverLimecello's review of Secret Agent Man by Diana Palmer
Contemporary Romance published by Silhouette Desire on Dec 93
Released again in Mar 08 as one-half of Man of the Hour (see end of review)

I really like this book. I enjoyed reading about the characters, and found both the story line and subplots interesting, and important. What I really appreciate about the book is a minor aspect, but one I think is important, and love when romances "teach" real life lessons. Here, it's how important knowledge of self defense is for women. Read more

Review: Coltrain’s Proposal by Diana Palmer

Coltrain's Proposal by Diana Palmer Limecello's review of Coltrain's Proposal by Diana Palmer
Contemporary romance published by Silhouette 1 Aug 95

I recently acquired this book as part of a birthday trade, and I couldn’t be happier. I think I’ve made it clear that I enjoy Diana Palmer’s novels – there’s just something about them. The characters are fun and witty, the plots obvious yet interesting, and the books are simply addicting. I think I’ve read 110 of Ms. Palmer’s novels, and this is one of my favorites. Read more

Review: Cattleman’s Choice by Diana Palmer

book cover Limecello's review of Cattleman's Choice by Diana Palmer
Contemporary Romance re-released by Harlequin Books 1 Jun 00

I discovered Diana Palmer a little more than a year ago, and she's quickly become a "must read" author for me. I don't know what it is about her books, because if you've read any, they're quite formulaic. If you aren't prepared as to what to expect, you might feel unpleasantly surprised. But, forewarned and forearmed, I think there's a lot to enjoy. I also make it a point to make a quick check of the copyright date as well. Read more

Review: Fearless by Diana Palmer

Fearless by Diana PalmerLimecello's review of Fearless by Diana Palmer
Contemporary romance released by Harlequin on 1 Jun 08

I love Diana Palmer’s books. I don't know what it is about her, but I love her writing. Love. She's an author most readers tend to have strong opinions about. I admit, some of her story lines seem old and rehashed - but, each one still has unique aspects. Her writing has a warmth and wry humor that grips you. Ms. Palmer's books are fun, witty, classy, and very enjoyable.
