While I like her books, and have many, it appears that she is just recycling themes, and rushing through instead of fleshing out her characters. There are a few of her novels that are nicely done, many of her works (especially her shorter ones, seem to rush through with out of date phrases (I have never called a person a "Dish" in all my days), and trite relationships. She has proven to be a viable talent as an author, why she appears to be phoning it in (and her editor allowing it!) is beyond me.

DP fans will find this book appealing, but if you are new to her as an author, you might want to look elswhere.

answer to those who gave this story a poor rating, may I suggest you first read "After Midnight" in order to appreciate the full impact of the relationship between Phoebe and Jeremiah. Believe me, their foundation story in that book is stunning.

I liked the theme as I have a "thing" for sexy long-haired Native Americans. However, this is not the best DP I have ever read.The story seemed kind of choppy. Also, it was a stretch for me to believe an FBI agent would be making out in a car totally oblivious to everyone and everything while a killer was trying to kill his lady. Yet, this occured a couple of times; the sheriff even interruped them once. I will continue to read DP as I think she is a wonderful author. I just didn't particularly like this one.

A love story, with a little humor thrown in as well as a little mystery. A good read and I recommend it. Rating 1 to 5, I rate it a 4.

If you're ready for a good romance, this is it. Murder, the FBI, suspense against a background of the NC mountains with Native Americans, both Cherokee and Comanche.

This book is a follow-up to After Midnight. Phoebe & Cortez were first mentioned in this book. This is their story. It is very good.

I think this was the least romantic romance novel I have ever read. This is the first book I have read by Diana Palmer. The plot was great and the characters were likeable, but this was more like a novel with a little romance in it. So... a 5-star plot, but a 2-star ROMANCE novel. I like Tami Hoag better. :o)

You can't go wrong reading Ms. Palmer's stories. She grabs you with the first paragraph and takes you into the world of her characters.
a very nice read.
