This is a reissue anthology of three classic Diana Palmer Long Tall Texans stories. Those who were there will welcome Harden, Evan, and Donavan back. For new readers, it's a treat waiting to be discovered.

I have alway like reading diana palmer books and i always can't wait for her new books coming out.mags

This is a keeper!! If you like Dianna Palmer and the typical male "pig" attitude in most of her books you will love this. The story of Evan is the best and makes the book worth buying. Dianna Palmer is the best!

Harden

The story of Harden was an o.k. story, but I felt it started too abruptly and unrealistically. It never really fleshed out Harden or the romance between the two main characters. Miranda said she was normally a strong and independent person, but that was never shown in the book. I prefer my heroines with a little spine, they don't have to be the strongest, but it's nice for them not to be so weak. Like I said before she was too naive, especially being married before, even if it wasn't an ideal marriage. Also talking to his mother about their relationship and the attraction was a little unrealistic too.
2.5/5

Evan

Having only read about Evan in the previous book, Harden, I was looking forward to reading his story. However in the beginning I was surprised at how cruel he was to Anna, I could understand it somewhat, but it was just a little too harsh to take sometimes. However it got better towards the middle of the story and I could get over that. I was a bit surprised that he was only 6'4, which I know isn't short, but I always imagined he was taller since he had such a hangup about his size, like around 6'7 or so. Some minor things bothered me some, like the way he woke her up from her coma, which was unbelievable, as well as her talking to her mother about sex so candidly. I never would have talken to my mother about those things so openly. =P Still the chemistry between the two was sizzling to say the least and I was left feeling that it was a good story with a good ending and I enjoyed it immensely even with the little flaws. It was nice to have a heroine with more spine in this story!
4/5

Donovan

This is a decent story, while I liked both of the characters well enough, it just wasn't great. It started off good, then started lagging, but towards the end it picked up more. I can't say much bad about it and I can't say anything too good about, just an average read that some may like more than others. Still there's some cute stuff nearer the end and it's a fine lil read. :)
3/5 stars

While I usually like Diana Palmer, I was a little disappointed in these stories. They seemed in some ways too unbelievable, even for romantic fiction. The heroines were for the most part too naive to be believed, even if the stories were written 14 years ago. One of the things that bothered me probably the most is the phrase "little one", how many time can you use it? Sometimes it's fine and fits into the story, but way overused, as it is in all three of these stories. Still I find it refreshing that Diana Palmer writes stories with morals, like waiting until marriage to have sex, etc. It was still an enjoyable read, and I recommend it only for if you want a little light reading or if you're a die-hard Diana Palmer fan.

Overall: 3.5 stars

I read one of Diana Palmer books in the past and didn't particularly care for the hero in the story. I figured I would give her another shot. All 3 of these stories along with the previous one read makes me realize that I can't abide her heroes. If your thing is dealing with extremely mean spirited men who are also whiny as well as bullies, then these stories are definitely for you. It's just disappointing to me that these big, strong, hot mean are such big babies. What a waste of testosterone.
