And resolve it they do. There are other soldier of fortune buddies who have their own stories, for yet another DP series.Diana Palmer checklist:Hairy chest Not a lot of hair!!!!!!!!!!!!!

God.:') How I love Diana Palmer!!! God, this lady is.she is.wow. I'm speechless. Diana Palmer is one hell of an author. I don't care what others say about her, I don't care if her writing is cheesy, I don't care if I'm being shallow about this, but I fuckin' love Diana Palmer. She gives you exactly what you want. I love the twisting angst and emotion in her stories, and I love how the heroines are sweet and innocent.

She gives you exactly what you want. I love the twisting angst and emotion in her stories, and I love how the heroines are sweet and innocent. I love how the heroes are such asses, and when the time comes, magic at grovelling. I love all the love and pain and sweet angst her stories cause.sigh.
God, I love her. I've said it before and I'll say it again, there's no other author like this woman.Now let's get to the book. It was a really sweet, angsty read and I delighted in every minute of it. There wasn't much I disliked about this book; I didn't like the exotic setting and their quick wedding. And I'd have liked it better if the.ahem.
had taken place after their marriage.The heroine, Dani was not a typical Diana Palmer heroine - she was older (26), did not have blonde hair and she was a bit large on front side. Diana's heroines are usually small. But she was a sweetheart, innocent and trusting, just like all her other heroines are. This is why I love her so much, dammit:') I liked how she loved the hero but was independent. I loved how she left him when she came to know of his profession. This one was a heroine with a backbone.
And I love sweet, innocent heroines who have backbones even more:') And, as usual, I was on her side the entire time. (I still loved Dutch hopelessly though.)We move onto Dutch now. He was a non-typical Palmer hero as well - he was blonde! And he wasn't hairy either.
But I loved him, and I loved the faint scars on his face. I'm a sucker for a less-than-perfect hero. This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it,MILD SPOILERS AHEAD PLEASE PROCEED WITH CAREGuess women get pregnant on their own in this book or at least that's what the hero would have you believe. This guys really should not have had kids if he felt that way.He even wanted a vasectomy so he would never have a child and he tells her this AFTER they get married.

That's very extreme here!Not my favorite by Diana Palmer! Not even close but it's not the worst I have read by her either.I did not care how she simply accepted being poorly MILD SPOILERS AHEAD PLEASE PROCEED WITH CAREGuess women get pregnant on their own in this book or at least that's what the hero would have you believe.

That's very extreme here!Not my favorite by Diana Palmer! Not even close but it's not the worst I have read by her either.I did not care how she simply accepted being poorly treated.Honestly, just put up with his crap.Holiday affairs are never a good way to start a lasting relationship.This is the clear message in this book.However, at least he did not call her a whore and leave her holding the baby, right?Yeah, but maybe it would have been better cause he was an cold bastard the whole of the book.At the end he pulls a '.watching that baby being born was the most exciting thing I've ever done; next to loving you,' out of his ass.Wow! Really 'that' baby!!!He has such a way with words.
Not!Just a typical self centre egotist of the 1980 and spineless heroine who lets it all happen! First book by this author, and I liked it; although it took me some time to get used to the H. H Dutch is a mercenary (read: all American with Dutch ancestry action hero and I kept imagining Jean Claude Van Damme as the H while reading this.) with a difficult past and a natural distrust of women and starts off labelling the h as 'frump'. He even has the gall to wonder how a 'frump' could show him the door when she wants to break off their relationship.

Then of course there was the incessant smoking around the very pregnant Danielle that made me cringe. I just really wanted to get in there and snatch the cigarette away from him and stub it out. But he had many redeeming qualities as well which only became evident in the latter half of the story.Danielle was your average mousy M&B h with a sad backstory and a heart of gold. Avid romance reader who is horrified at the thought of being married to a soldier of fortune but gives in pretty easily and quickly when he refuses to give her the divorce she asked for.Sweet story but not particularly remarkable. Don't mind reading more from this author.
Dani the frump and Eric aka Dutch. I was drawn to this early DP book like a moth to a flame.
Maybe it was my low expectations, but I ended up loving it. I was thinking I'd just read the first bit and then maybe skip to the last chapter, but I found myself sucked in and couldn't put it down. Who knew!?Anyhow, Dani meets Dutch on a plane to her first vacation outside the US. His inner thoughts about the 'frumpy' chick sitting next to him were judgmental and just mean. I was thinking, 'Ok here we Dani the frump and Eric aka Dutch.

I was thinking, 'Ok here we go, the 80's dickhead H stereotype'.
In a lot of ways he was just that. But the book is a slow evolution from 'that', to a man in tears at the thought of his wife being seriously injured.They have a whirlwind affair, where she goes from 'frumpy' to 'gotta have her but she's a virgin, so I better marry her'. This is a man in his mid thirties (about a decade older than her) who you'd think would be more logical. Perhaps he was already a little in love with her? (or probably just thinking with his 'little head'). But he claims he can never love again after the way his (now deceased) despicable wife treated him, and the desperate measures she drove him to.
Yes, it's one of those 'woe is me cause a chick hurt my wittle feelings, and now I hate all women', heroes. But hey, I kinda like that if it's done right; )The stereotypical woman hater. He hasn't even been with a woman in over a year!Yet here he is marrying a mousy little book shop owner. Things were sweet until the return plane trip, when truths he neglected to tell her come out. Truths she can't be married to. They part on bitter words, and of course she discovers that she's preggers. This is a harlequin after all; )But Dutch comes back and there's a lot of back and forth, push/pull, that was well done, instead of annoying.
I can't say Dutch is my fave H, but I did find the ending pretty cute and romantic. Eric ( Dutch ) & DaniI trully enjoyed this book. Both characters are likeable and you can't help but rut for them. This is the story of Dani, a innocence and trusting book store owner and Eric, a mercenary soldier. They meet in a plane, sitting side by side on their way to a holiday. The sexual attraction between them is felt straight away an in a moment of lust they marry.

He is your typical alpha male but he treated her with so much kindness and pacient. I love that she dumps him as soon as she finds out he profession, leaving him.
