I thought Diana Palmer was badass. I kept l looking to make sure I had the right author.
This baby was more sugary than presweetened cereal. The plot wouldn't have been so bad if you weren't able to figure out the whodunit from first glance. And the poor dude reading for the audiobook? Well, he needs to practice female voices...though, it was good for a laugh, especially during those love scenes. ;D

Two years ago, criminalist Josette Langley’s heart had been broken when the man she’d been dating had, after a very humiliating intimate moment, suddenly disappeared from her life. Marc Brannon had actually quit the Rangers and gone to work for the FBI, so that he was well and truly away from her. The case they had both been working on, that resulted in the conviction of a man Josie had felt was innocent, and Marc had been certain was guilty; has come to life when this man is found murdered.

All right hold on people, let me get this straight, from what I gathered (which may be diluted due to figuring out whodunit it by pg 50) there is some medical issues we need to discuss.
So Brannon’s love interest, Joestte is a virgin. Great, I can wrap my head around that. Brannon tries to make love to our dear Josette earlier in their relationship and…can’t because she is (forgive the bluntness) impenetrable?

Audiobook: narrated by Phil Gigante
Mix a frustratingly obvious mystery (not) with a couple of illogical and pathetic main characters, and *ta-da* = an eye-rolling romance. Urgh!! I had so much trouble not giving up on this book. I read it for a challenge and that is the ONLY reason I persisted. No more DP for me.
Narrator: 4 stars. Great characterisation (when I could separate my hands from my hair and distance myself enough to appreciate the narration). Not too keen on his masculine laugh (it re...more

When Texas Ranger Marc Brannon walked out of Josette Langley's life two years ago, it was one more betrayal from him she couldn't move past. Their lives had been intertwined throughout the years, and every terrible moment she had Marc was always on the opposite side.
When Josette is forced to work with Marc, in order to solve a high profile murder, she is not sure she will be able to get through it intact. Her heart still aches for Marc, but moving past the hurt is a tough pill to swallow.

I like DP as a general rule.. But after the first two dozen books, the angsty plot gets a tad repetetive... There's always an older(usually 8+yrs) hero, usually in law enforcement or ranching, vs a younger virgin heroine: either he thinks she's experienced or has betrayed him and then the hero acts like an ass, and then spends the last part of the book getting forgiven...
Now I'm not saying I didn't enjoy this book, but I didn't find the formula as well applied as in other Diana Palmer books, suc...more

This is an interesting romantic suspense novel that provides the reader with an exhilarating investigation starring two people in love and hate with one another. The story line is fun though Marc's obstinacy seems inappropriate for a clever detective with his glittering record. Still he is a hunk and Josette is a powerful female lead.
I've read Diana Palmer books before and enjoyed them. I lost interest in the story line when it became obvious around page 50 who the murderer was. Sadly, the main characters start to look like idiots for not seeing what's so obvious to the reader. She also didn't seem to edit for consistency (as when the hero states that he can only afford to buy her a cheap burger, but when she says she'll go dutch, he orders himself a steak.) The story tends to hit the reader over the head with the obvious. T...more
A+ to Diana -- this one was of her best "I hate the hero" books. I devoured it. Again the heroine eased the pain of listening to the hero lament.

I liked this book, it wasn't to quick. Its story was ok - just a bit unbievable. I liked the main characters.
The romance was good and sweet

so-so romance story, about a texas ranger and an investigator who split up 2 years earlier over accusations and misunderstandings
Marc Brannon/Josette Langley-he was a Texas Ranger she was a junior investigator she help Marc slove a murder and they fell in love.
This is actually one of her books that I didn't really care for. But it was pretty good, just never really got into it.
I didnt expect so much from this book and i was surprised in good way. There was love, scandal and some drama :) I definitely will read more from this author.
First time with this author...eh
Not sure how she got to be a "best selling author"

Not one of my favorite's of her's but it is also part of the Jacobville's books. Just could not hold my interest that much.

THe book was...okay. A lot of the plot was forced and seemed to be premature.
