gotta read this one again, . . haven't rated any of my DPs lately 'cause I keep thinking she's saying the same thing, and so am I!!
This one threw me a tad, though.
I gotta go back and reread this little book because I missed where hate morphed into love in less thanpages,
Ok. Ok. It's a short book, but egads, this guy was another mixed signal jerkwad!
Does DP have a thing against attractive heroes or is it just me Can we have ONE hottie every now and then Okay.
I am working the backlist so, bye for now! I found this on Hoopla, It read like a romance from thes, The hero of the first half was a slimy weasel, while the man he morphed into in the latter half of the book was swooney and amazing, The writing in this one was not up to par, The relationship felt shallow and the motivations were sketchy, I was shocked to see that this was published inas it seemed much more dated than that, The poor heroine was astounded to see a man's bare chest! InWhat rock has she been living under Has she never been to a swimming pool Or walked past a magazine rack at the grocery store The h was just a bit too OTT innocent and sheltered to be believable and was too passive in her own life and choices.
The H blew very hot/cold but got super sweet by the end,
Turns out that both the H/h are closet nerdy late bloomers who were secretly hot, I loved the end and believed in their HEA,
Safety Angsty with a saintly heroine and a hero with consistency of a toddler, : good book When Christy Haley joined an archaeological dig in Arizona, her most fascinating find was an irascible yet irresistible ranch owner, The last thing Nate Lang thought he needed was an Eastern greenhorn who didn't know a cactus from a cornstalk, But she'd already unearthed his passion, . . and discovered her rugged Westerner was a greenhorn himselfat love, I'm so glad this will be released in ebook format, because the mass paperback version is so hard to come by! I've been wanting to read this for a long time! Currently, there's a listing on eBay for the paperback, for.
!!! Love the coverbut that doesnt look like Arizona to me!
Sweet and light,
Has all of DPs usual fare minus too much of the blow hot, blow cold capers, Well, there is some but up to an acceptable level and not those that give you whiplash!
Liked the h and the H turned out quite nice too!
Gostei do livro, ele não foge ao estilo DP, pois a mocinha é virgem e inocente e o mocinho é experiente e interpreta de maneira errada o comportamento da mocinha.
Ela é uma professora que tem a vida protegida e sem graça, mas que encontra nesta expedição arqueológica uma maneira de fugir de seu cotidiano e pensar a respeito de um pedido de casamento por parte de um pretendente mais velho e já com três filhos.
Ela se depara com um mocinho estilo DP e TDB, experiente e já cheio de se deparar com mulheres loucas pelo seu dinheiro, Como a mocinha é bem desastrada ele acha que ela está fazendo de tudo pra chamar a atenção dele, tem cenas bem engraçadas, Aliás, ele se acha o último biscoito recheado do pacote, kkkkk!
A mocinha é bonita, mas não tem noção de sua beleza, pois é tímida e desastrada.
Recomendo! Sweet love story, wish it was longer! Sweet Story, Likeable Characters
"It was pure bad luck that the Hokokam ruin the professor was interested in was on property owned by Nathanial Lang, who seemed to hate science, modern people, and Christine with a passion.
"
FINAL DECISION: The typical experienced hero, virginal heroine story is elevated by revelations the defy expectations and a hero who at first appears to be heartless but ends up being incredibly sweet.
THE STORY: Christiana "Christy" Haley is a teacher from the east who joins an archeological excavation as part of her summer vacation and recent makeover, She meets ornery ranch owner Nate Long who is a westerner and who believes that the clumsy accidents that follow Christy are her way of trying to attract him.
Christy is old fashioned and barely out of her shy, awkward stage, She finds she likes Nate but his misunderstandings about her push her too far too fast,
OPINION: This is a sweet gentle romance between two people that seem to be opposite, Christy is a woman who looks beautiful, but inside is shy and awkward, She is being noticed by men for the first time and doesn't quite know how to handle herself, Nate is a confident sexy cowboy and much more sophisticated that Christy or so she thinks, What is revealed through the story is that both Christy and Nate have mistaken impressions about one another,
This story is elevated by the fact that Nate recognizes his mistaken impression of Christy and is then conflicted because he likes this woman but doesn't want to be hurt by her or to hurt her.
I felt that Nate is a sweet hero,
The end of the story no spoilers was simply adorable,
WORTH MENTIONING: As with many Palmer heroes, Nate mistakes Christy for an experienced woman and attempts to engage in a sexual relationship with her, Here, however, Nate is much more a gentleman that some Palmer heroes,
CONNECTED BOOKS: MiSS GREENHORN is a standalone,
STAR RATING: I give this bookstars, Didn't really like Nate. He was kind of a jerk and Christy was a doormat, I didn't really see the reason why he would blow hot amp cold all the time, Also, her clumsiness because of her poor eyesight got a little old, Who would keep tripping amp falling into people just because they didn't want to wear glasses Was this before the time of contacts They just didn't make much sense to me.
Typical but enjoyable DP. We've got a hairy manly chest, a cantankerous H, a virginal sweet natured yet naive h, some soapboxing about this and that, and voila, . .
There's a wee twist at the end that I liked and made the H more endearing,
Christy is a virginal kindergarten teacher in her mid's, who has lead a sheltered and dowdy life, She decides that she wants to spread her wings, so she changes her clothes and hair and leaves Florida for the first time in her life,
In Arizona on an archaeological dig, she comes face to face with Nate, the owner of the land the dig is on, Nate takes an inexplicable dislike of her,
But it's not inexplicable to the reader as you get both their thoughts in this one, which helps a lot with making sense of the back and forth and hot and cold between them.
Some sexy 'almost' times, but this one keeps it clean for the most part,
Safety is good ,stars, good but not exactly my favorite,
Mostly because the Hero's pretty annoying and he won't admit that he misjudged the heroine, I kind of want to slap his face, But then again it's been a while since I read Diana Palmer and I think this book is angsty, Definitely refreshing. Categories
Contemporary Romance, Small Town amp Rural Fiction, Western Fiction, Western Romance Pretty harmless, Not at all memorable. Highly Recommend
