I just finished this book. I could think of another hundred or so words that would make better titles other than Heartbreaker.....or maybe that was a good name because maybe it is the reader's heart that she breaks.
Ohhhhhh, Why?, Why?
I so agree with you. I really like Diana Palmer! Why, indeed. I will still buy her next book. I really like her. I can't help myself.
I quit reading her last year ~ But every time she comes out with a new book I almost want to buy it. But I'm tired of the younger heroine/much older hero/"little one"/le petite morte books that she writes. After awhile it seems I'm re-reading the same thing over and over (and over) again.
The woman can certainly create chemistry, to be sure but I'm just wanting something new.
Wait - I used to love her too but the last two books of hers I read were PC. I don't read Palmer for PC heroes and heroines, I read her for the drama but I felt like her publishers told her to knock it off and now her books have no teeth!
I was reaching for this one the other day at the store but my fear of a watered down Palmer stilled my hand.
So was it bad because it's not a Palmer or was it bad because it's like the old Palmer (which is good for me ;))
Get all that?

Hey, while cleaning out my parents' house for a move I packed up a couple of boxes of books. Some were for me to keep, some to try and sell or otherwise get rid of. There are a ton of old Diana Palmers with cheesy painted covers. They've gotta be pre-PC. I'll make up a list of titles and post it at my blog. If anyone wants any, I'll send you some. I have no interest in her, and half.com doesn't recognize the ISBNs.
Its like going back to my girlhood. sort of a comfort read. Same old story but you know it's going to be a good one. Don't read all the time but she clears the palate between other type books.
Because you like her?
Just guessing....

I quit reading her,too. Always the same story, just change of name. When she first started I had her on my auto buy list, but now I don't even peek. I

Uh oh! It was that bad??
My copy came in the mail today. This is the first DP book I've read in years and I hope it doesn't disappoint.

You are not alone. I buy every single one and whine as soon as I'm done. Already bought this one. It's like a disease or something.

I just mentioned that I've never really read a Lindsey (tried on recently - but - not my cuppa). DP is yet another author I've never read before.
