Meredith Ashe thought her heart was broken when Cy Harden's family ran her out of town as a scared teenager, penniless and pregnant. Now stronger and wiser, she's back, but this time as the poised, powerful head of a multinational corporation and she's planning a hostile takeover of Harden Properties. Cy doens't know the secrets Meredith is hiding, and she has no intention of telling his. She plans to let him think she's the same shy girl he abandoned years ago...but she hasn't counted on the way her body still thills to his touch. And when Meredith begins to fall for Cy all over again even her carefully made plans can't protect her.
This is definitley one of my favorites!

Reading some of these reviews I have to say that they were pretty harsh. I mean its just a story its not like its real life or anything. Well anyway I thought that the story was great and I have been reading Diana Palmer's books for a while and every one of them has been excellent. For people out there that are looking for a good steamy romance look no further than True Colors. I mean what fun is there in reading a story if your just going to nit pick about it?
I really liked it!

If I hadn't read the terrible reviews here first, I might have given this a 4 star on face value. But because I was prepared for a relatively poor book, and was so pleasantly surprised, I'm giving this one an extra point. I admit upfront that I am a HUGE Diana Palmer fan. I am attracted to, rather than offended by, her alpha males who make many mistakes on their way to happiness with an ultra-patient heroine. Her books are fantasy - they don't make real men like her heroes, so I have more sense than to expect them to act like the men I meet everyday. As much as Cy is an extreme alpha stereotype, so Meredith is smarter, tougher and more forgiving than the average romance heroine. If you want realistic people in your romance novels, there are plenty out there, but those bore me beyond words. Palmer's stories, and this one is among the best, entertain because they are so different from anything I have ever, or will ever, experience. As formulaic as they are, the formula works for many of us, and that's what keeps us reading her. True Colors is a great Palmer tale, as long as you aren't trying to make it into a Nora Roberts book.
Makes Your Heart Pound!

I knew this book would be good because it was written by Diana Palmer(okay, maybe I'm being a bit biased)Yet I didn't expect to not be able to put down the book and that my heart was pounding with each turn of the page. "True Colors" is filled with a lot of emotion. You read as Meredith Ashe grows from a naive girl to a strong women. Unfortunatley her strength is geared towards revenge on Cy Harden, the father of her child. She plans to punish him for the past by taking over his company.Cy, who had no idea he had fathered a child, too late realizes how he had been manipulated by his mother into thinking that Meredith had betrayed him. And seeing her after all these years, Cy still has a need for her, but is it just a physical need or a need born of love?Yet when everyones true color is out in the open would it be enough to save the love between Cy and Meredith? You won't want to put down this book till the very end, even then, you'll want to go back to read it again. I hope you get a copy of this and enjoy.
MRozeen100's Review of True Colors
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
Meredith Ashe returned to Billings, Montana, a great deal wiser and much richer than the scared, pregnant teenager she had been six years before. She was now "Kip" Tennison, the sophisticated savvy widow of millionaire Henry Tennison and heir to his multi-national corporation. Meredith intended to keep her past, and her her future plans - a secret. Cy Hardin, the man who had taught her passion but left her without love, was never to know that they had had a child. Nor was he to know that Meredith was buying out his company until it was too late. What Meredith could't predict was the way she would fall for Cy all over again. And how she would discover the true colors of vengeance and love... This is an excellently written book of love, and teaches us a lot of the motivations of people's hearts, and what a beautiful outcome. Diana Palmer/Susan Kyle at her best.
