A New York Times Bestselling AuthorAs the holiday season approached, the residents of Jacobsville were whispering about Janie Brewster's hopeless crush on Leo Hart. Up till now, all her efforts to lasso the dynamic cattleman had crumbled, but this time the starry-eyed debutante had come up with the perfect self-improvement campaign to dazzle Leo - she'd become a courageous cowgirl! So why did her transformation seem to rouse Leo's formidable temper more than ever?
This was a great book. I read it all in one day and couldn't put it down. I don't know how many times I have reread this book, I have lost count. I love the conflicts beween Janie and Leo, and how in the end the final Hart brother becomes hooked. Leo seemed like a good guy who didn't want to hurt Janie intentionally but didn't want to get want to have her to get hooked onto him either. I just loved this book, and know that I will read it many more times.
My new favorite!

I haven't read all of Palmer's books yet, but I have read many, and this one is now at the top of the list. While it has many of the same ideas typical of her books - young virgin adores older man who has watched her grow up and won't let himself fall for her until she's in danger and then he realizes he can't live without her (whew!) - this one is Palmer at her best with all those details. Janie is a strong woman who wants Leo but won't trail after him like a lovesick pup. Leo fights his attraction to her but doesn't intentionally try to hurt her to drive her away. And they even *wait* until their wedding night, but there are several really hot scenes ahead of time that are also among the most tender I have read from Palmer. Terrific dialogue and intriguing secondary characters help to make this one a keeper!

I read alot of these books and I have read several by this author. She is one of my favorites. I have to say this is the best one so far. It has the hottest love scenes, that I have every read. You will be so into the story that, like me, you will not want to put in down. I read the whole thing in one night. I had to stay up late to read it all but it was worth the lack of sleep. The next day I read it again. I highly recommend that you buy this book. Happy Reading.
I want to move to Texas!

Of all the novels concerning the Hart brothers of Texas, this one is the best yet! I wish a town really did exist with so many gorgeous men. I'de move there in a "heart" beat! I like this heroine better than some of the others in the Hart brother's series, because this one is not so needy. She knows how to take up for herself, even against Leo Hart. I especially liked that, in some of the sensual parts, she becomes the agressor, and turns him into mush!A lot of new characters were introduced in this book, which makes me glad we have not seen the last of the "Long Tall Texans" series, and lots of the characters from the origional series were mentioned again.I know some readers think she should follow some other story line, ie guy breaks the girls heart, girl gets physically injured, guys comes to the rescue. But as for me, I always know what to expect from Diana Palmer - a great read. I say "if it ain't broke, don't fix it"!
