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.
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?
