What could be better than a story by Diana Palmer? Well, in RANCHERS LAW you get two stories by different authors. Fans of Diana Palmer will enjoy revisiting some old friends. But not to fear. Diana Palmer makes sure to introduce each character just in case you’ve forgotten or never met them. I find it part of her charm. There is always a battle between the sexes in any of this author’s books. Invariably love wins the day. I can’t think of anything I love more than a happy ending. Now that doesn’t mean the going will be smooth. In the first story, we meet two characters who have had their share of rotten luck. When we first meet them the obvious issue is age difference and life experience. Cal is part of a non-government mercenary unit that takes him all over the globe. But when back home, he finds himself spending time with a young person who candidly takes the edge off his life. Even though it’s pretty obvious the attraction is mutual, neither is in the position to take it seriously. Amelia sees herself as not pretty, worldly or sophisticated as a woman that Cal would be attracted to. Amelia already suffers from a lack of self-confidence. The only person who treated her with kindness was her grandfather. Her world was small. So Cal provided some much-needed light. Fate was going to take a key role in their lives. RANCHERS LAW comes with a bonus story celebrating Harlequin’s 75th anniversary.
