Average Customer Rating:

Palmer formula works for me	Customer Rating:
Palmer's stories have links to her previous novels, bringing in familiar characters. Story lines are somewhat similar, but have enough variations to be interesting. Once again the hero is strong and righteous, and the heroine innocent and self-effacing, but spunky. Misunderstandings cause strife, but all comes out well in the ending. An okay book; I enjoyed it.

Series

Customer Rating:

I love Diana Palmer and her books. Yes, I have seen some similarities, yet I have also encountered some differences. I read them more to get each of the characters histories and stories of how they ended up where they are. I loved this book as well as the others I have read to date, but I have to say Colby Lane will always hold my heart above all these other men... I have a thing for the hot, ex-mercenaries!

Jacobsville's finest

Customer Rating:

Another good book in a long line of Jacobsville hotties. If you like Diana Palmer, then this book you'll love. Stuart is another hottie, but refuses to give into the young woman who captured his heart. Ivy, has had a very sad life, and nothing seems to go her way. With the support of her best girlfriend, she finds life bearable. She is independant, with a big heart. Forgiving a sister who spread wicked lies about her shows the depth of her character. Ivy soon finds herself thrust into the middle of a drug smuggling ring, and the man of her dreams comes to the rescue, picking up the pieces of her shattered world.

Very, very bad	Customer Rating:
I bought this book on impulse. I wish I had read the reviews first. This is truly one of the worst books I have ever read. I won't detail this book's many faults as they have been adequately described by other reviewers. This book was so bad that I won't ever buy another book by this writer. I understand that she is quite popular. Why, I cannot fathom.

Yuck!

Customer Rating:

First, let me say that I am a Diana Palmer fan. I have usually felt a Diana Palmer book comes with a "guarantee" that it will be worth the read (and money!). Winter Roses just does not deliver. By the time I reached chapter 2, I was wondering if Ms. Palmer had really written the book (or proof read it). There are several instances where she contradicts herself in the story. It's horrible when an author can't remember what s/he wrote in the previous 10 pages. The plot and relationships are not well developed. I did not feel the connection at all! This book was a huge disappointment and difficult to even finish. I'll definitely read the reviews before I purchase another Diana Palmer book.
