Men of the West

I loved this book. 3 great stories in one book. The story of Harden & Miranda, Evan & Anna, & Donavan or J. D. & Faye are wonderful. Diana Palmer has done it again.

I love Evan's story - it's the best one!!

As the headline to my review says, Evan's story is the best one. All of the stories are good, but his and Arabella's is the best. Typical DP story - the heroine is a younger virginal type and the hero is 15 years older than her and only dates experienced women. He makes a big deal out of her being younger and being innocent because he had a bad experience with a virginal girlfriend accusing him of hurting her when he was younger. He is a big man (though only 6'4", I think), so he feels like he has to be in control when he is with a woman. Arabella scares him because she makes him feel like no other woman ever has. He is cruel to her to try to get her to back off, but when she gets engaged to a young doctor, he realizes he loves her and will do whatever it takes to get her back - even overcome his hangups!!

Donovan's story is good, too. He moved off from the ranch he and his brothers own after losing his wife. He is working for the heroine, Pepi's father. He has a habit of getting drunk to erase his painful memories and Pepi always has to get him out of scrapes and take care of him. During one of these drunken episodes, he insists that they marry at a Mexican chapel. The next day he doesn't remember and Pepi is scared to tell him. When he finds out, he is madder than h@ll, but eventually forgives her and falls in love.

Harden is a hardhearted soul - he can't forgive his mother because she left her husband for a while and had him with another man - so, he is the middle child but doesn't have the same father as Evan and Donovan. He treats all women bad because of this and treats his mother the worst of all. The heroine changes his opinion of women overall and helps him heal his relationship with his mother.

It's a re-release, so what?

Yes, this is a past collection with a new title, but that doesn't mean it's a bad book. All three stories are terrific, but different enough to keep the reader from getting bored. I like the new title - it makes it easier to distinguish it from the other Long, Tall, Texans anthologies.

Great collection!

Palmer must have read my mind - she put 3 of my favorites in one beautiful book. I did not know that this was a reissue with a new title, but anyone who bothered to read the back of the book would have known what stories were in it before buying it. I think it's a shame to give a great book a bad rating because the reader made a mistake. These fine stories by an awesome writer don't deserve such pettiness. Keep up the wonderful work, Diana!
