You always hurt the one you love. Diana Palmer has decided
to make two people into a very unlikely coupon in her
newest
installment in the Wyoming Men series. WYOMING
STRONG brings
back some of our favorite mercs and introduces some new
ones. Perhaps that's why I enjoy reading Palmer's series.
I
get to visit some old friends.
There is no shortage of
strong men and women who are passionate about life and
love.
Palmer's characters are bold, brazen, sexy and stubborn to
a
fault. WYOMING STRONG is no exception to Palmer's
exquisite
handling of odd couples and odd coupling. Simply enjoyment
at its best.
Sara and Wolf are like two magnets repelling each other at
every chance and yet they can't get out of each other's
way.
Perhaps its fate that keeps throwing them together. Or
could
it be kismet. As a diehard romantic I prefer to think of
the
coming together of Sara and Wolf as kismet.
Steamy looks, wind blowing kisses and tender moments are
abounding between these two people. Both Sara and Wolf
harbor dark secrets. Secrets that candidly have shaped who
they are and how they relate to people. Each of them has
great issues with the opposite sex.
Wolf initially treats and speaks to Sara with such venom
that it's a wonder that she doesn't treat him with the
same
disgust. But that's the irony of this relationship. Wolf
treats Sara so harshly that he spends a great deal of time
flailing himself for doing so. And yet he can't seem to
temper his reaction. He has superimposed his anger for
another woman on this beautiful young woman who crumbles
under his scrutiny.
Sara on the other hand starts to realize she is attracted
to
Wolf and this mystifies her. Her history with men is
filled
with danger and violence. There is nothing warm and fuzzy
about Wolf. So why does he make her feel things that she
thought impossible given her history.
Magnets -- tug and pull -- feeding off each other's
insecurities, basically making each other very unhappy and
yet needing the stolen moments that are good -- even if
they
are short and infrequent.
Wolf lives in a dangerous world. It's not until this world
starts to intrude into his private life and most
especially
Sara that he begins to realize just how important this
young
woman has become.
Fans of Diana Palmer will certainly enjoy WYOMING STRONG.
It's a fast read with many absolutely delightful moments
of
love and laughter. WYOMING STRONG definitely stands on its
own and makes a welcome addition to the entire Wyoming
Men
series. Palmer combines some of my favorite elements in
these stories. Ranches, mercenaries, independent strong
intelligent woman and men who need a wakeup call. Yep my
favorites all right.
SUMMARY
Wolf Patterson and Sara Brandon are archenemies from ages
ago, but mischievous fate has brought the tall rancher
with
the pale blue eyes together with the dark-haired beauty—
on
nearby Wyoming and Texas ranches. At first, sparks fly,
but
despite Wolf's misguided notions about the spirited Sara
and
her indignance over the assorted injustices he has thrown
her way, a truce—of sorts—forms. Suddenly Sara notices
Wolf's face, while not conventionally handsome, draws her
like no other man has ever attracted her. And Wolf sees
into
the vulnerable soul that Sara hides from the rest of the
world. They are two passionate people with a talent for falling
out. Will love be the spark they need to create what they
both want the most-a family?
