Man of Ice

This was a wonderful book. One of my favorites by Diana Palmer.

My favorite Diana Palmer

I think I have read this book over 10 times. My heart just aches when I read of how Barrie still loves Dawson despite the way he has always treated her. She tries to avoid him and let go of her love but she just can't. She has to help him no matter what the cost to her emotion. When Dawson finally tells her about his past and shows her his vulnrablity you will agree that this is Diana Palmer at her best.

This sequel to Maggie's Dad is one of the author's best!

This is an incredibly sad book. Dawson and Barrie are step-siblings. She always had a crush on him but he distrusts women. During a family vacation in the French Riviera, the shy Barrie gets up the nerve to flirt with Dawson and, cynic that he is, he assumes she just wants to sleep with him. Anyway, he goes to her room that night and they have some less than memorable sex. She is completely ashamed of herself and he is too stuned to say much (what he does say is insulting). What follows is a series of misunderstandings, and, more than five years later, they are both painfully repressed and barely speaking to each other. I cried as I read about about all the hurts thay had inflicted on each other, intentionally or not. The path they took to find each other after everything was long and bumpy and well worth the read.
