Fresh Fiction Review

Romance Suspense

We're back in Jacobsville with DEFENDER, the newest book from Diana Palmer, and I loved getting back in touch with all my favorite characters. I liked Isabel a lot. She is a strong girl. Sure some of her naiveness for her age is slightly unbelievable especially considering she uses the internet too and is a professional but still I can understand her reasons. Though the constant mention of her life, naiveness, her father, Paul's guilt etc. got bit tiring after a while. Too much repetition to be honest. Some of the situations mentioned also bordered on being unbelievable. This time though, Ms. Palmer, left me sorely disappointed with DEFENDER. Paul did not redeem himself for me. For me, he seemed arrogant, selfish, too proud and an idiot to have lived with them for so long and still ignore everything going on with the girls and yet call them and the housekeeper (I don't even want to mention her name). For that matter, I hated the housekeeper too. To claim to love the girls like her own but never doing anything to make them a little happy except cook their favorite meals. Ugh. My heart broke for Isabel and her sister. Overall, though the DEFENDER left me wanting, I cannot wait for Merri's book. A true Diana Palmer novel with heartbreak, laughter, and revisiting old favorites. Just not as fulfilling.

SUMMARY

New York Times bestselling author Diana Palmer delivers a breathtaking story of second-chance love. When Paul Fiore disappeared from Isabel Grayling's life, he told himself it was for all the right reasons. She was young and innocent, and he was her millionaire father's lowly employee. Three years on, Paul is the FBI agent assigned to Isabel's case. Too late, he realizes what life in her Texas mansion was really like back then—and how much damage he did when he left. Once love-struck and sheltered, Isabel has become an assistant district attorney committed to serving the law, no matter how risky it gets. But right now, the man she can't forgive is the one thing standing between her and a deadly stalker. She knows Paul won't hesitate to protect her life with his own. But if she can't trust herself to resist him, how can she trust him not to break her heart all over again?
