Dangerous by Diana PalmerI wonder why we continue to read books where we already know the whys and wherefore's. Every time I read a Long, Tall Texan novel by Diana Palmer, I feel as if I've read the the book before. Palmer has a definite formula for her work: gruff, dangerous older man paired with a naive young woman. He needs to protect her from himself and remains the aloof hero until the end. While the damsel in distress cries her heart out wondering what she done wrong and how she can get him to admit his love for her. However the cliche---it works.
Diana Palmer has written more books than most people will read in their entire lives and ends up on the bestsellers list every time she publishes. Why? Because for all the progression in romance and women's literature, we all love a man's man and good rescue and as a card carrying romantic, I'm okay with that. And that's why we continue to purchase Long, Tall Texan novel by the case and make Ms. Palmer one of the most prolific authors in modern romantic literature.

I thouroughly enjoyed Dangerous. Read it in one sitting. Someone commented that Palmer doesn't know gaming, but Palmer is a gamer (she confessed to an addiction in another book) and even if not completely accurate I thought the games added a fun element to the story as all ages were hooked on the same games--made for camaraderie between varied characters. Perhaps she should just make up games from whole cloth so not to irritate gamers?
ReplyDeleteI had been looking forward to Kilraven's story ever since his introduction in the horrendous Fearless. Palmer is a guilty pleasure for me but this last year she has been on a roll with her Harlequin's (Diamond in the Rough is not to be missed for Palmer fans) and setting up this story to coincide on the timeline with The Maverick (Harley & Alice's story),
