Sweet-Talking Texan

Back cover reads: SWEET-TALKING TEXAN With only a quick glance at Nell Regan, a man might miss the beauty in the shy face, or the sexy figure hidden beneath the shapeless clothes. Nell had learned the hard way that she had nothing to offer a man. Her future was here, running her Arizona dude ranch...alone. Then Tyler Jacobs arrived...a man who knew what it was like to be alone and alienated. He yearned to kiss away the pain he saw in Nell's deep brown eyes. But Nell wasn't about to mistake kindess for love. Not again. Yet would denying her own desire destroy her one chance for happiness? "Tyler" is the third book in Diana Palmer's Long, Tall Texan's series. It is the story of Tyler Ballenger and Nell Regan. While not as delightful as the first two books, it is still quite charming. This story starts out with Tyler already working and living on Nell's ranch in Arizona. He has moved out here after both he and his sister, Shelby, lost their fortunes, due to their fathers poor choices before death. Nell has distanced herself from Tyler by the beginning of the story. You later find out it was due to Nell following Tyler around when he first arrived at the ranch. Tyler hadn't minded in the start, after all, he thought Nell just a young girl. When he finds out that Nell was a grown woman, Tyler gets angry. He makes some cutting remarks to Bell, Nell's housekeeper, without realizing that Nell is close by. Tyler suddenly doesn't like it, though, when Nell starts to withdrawal from him. Complicating matters is the constant visit from Nell's widowed sister-in-law, Marguerite, and the sudden arrival of Darren McAnders. McAnders was hired by Tyler, without realizing that he was a sore spot where Nell was concerned. Before McAnders arrived it seemed that Nell and Tyler were making strides in their relationship. Tyler gets fed up with trying to bring Nell out of her shell and tells her, that if she wants him in any way, she will have to come after him! This is a lovely story and I would still recommend it to any romance reader or not. I especially love the scenes where Tyler gets sick and Nell is there to help him get better! The characters are very real in this story. I can see a bit of myself in Nell, where in the beginning she is very shy and timid and trying to grow out of that. While Tyler, is just a simple laid back cowboy, who's ready for some deep ties.

#3 in the LONG, TALL TEXANS Series

A well written story of Tyler Jacobs and Nell Regan but not quite the same appeal.Tyler has moved from Texas to the hot and dry southeastern Arizona where he works as foreman of the Double R dude ranch near Tombstone not that far from the Dragoon Mountains, one of Cochise's strongholds in the mid-1800's.He has met Nell Regan, the future owner of the dude ranch by the time his sister, Shelby marries Justin Ballenger. [#2]Nell follows Tyler around like a puppy until her housekeeper, Bella makes some hurtful remarks. Bella is afraid that Tyler will hurt the 24 year old Nell.Tyler can't understand Nell's withdrawl and an irritating conflict of emotions springs up. It is also helped along when Nell's widowed sister-in-law, Marguerite and her two sons, Jess, seven and Curt, five show up for the weekend uninvited.[It is so hard to remember being so gauche and insecure at that age]I did not feel the same with this story as with the first two.When Darren McAnders, the threat of Nell's young life, shows up the sparks really start to fly. He had been interested in Margie nine years ago yet Nell tried to innocently vamp him and had a very crude awakening. Girls better learn the end results of their mistaken actions.A decent enough story but centers mostly on Tylers and Nells' relationship almost to the exclusion any solidity of story matter. Recommended but leaves you wondering - characters really good bit not enough to make you want to read it again.I did just to tie all the characters in.
