Story Summary:Kell Sabin is an agent on vacation. He is set up by someone in his organization and is shot. Rachel Jones finds him lying on the beach unconcious. She takes care of him and protects him from the dangerous men hunting him. They both fall in love with each other but he doesn't want to have her hurt because of what he does for a living and ultimately leaves her toward the end of the story. Don't worry it will work out in the end. Now to what I liked about the book.
First, I loved Kell Sabin. He's dark and dangerous. He keeps himself from feeling anything for anyone until he meets Rachel. All I can say is that I want to find a guy liked that washed up on the beach.
Second, I really liked Rachel. She was sooooo honest. She didn't play games and just told it like it was. When she realized she was in love with Kell she just told him straight up.
This book is where you meet John Rafferty and he'll have his own story in Heartbreaker. You also need to read Midnight Rainbow first, then Diamond Bay, Heartbreaker and finally White lies. They all tie into together. Happy reading.

Despite the glowing reviews that convinced me to read this old title, I found Diamond Bay has not held up well at all since it was first released in the 80's. I ocassionally pick up the old books as some of them have a certain charm that is missing in today's romance genre. Not so with Diamond Bay. Kell Sabin was rather anaemic for a hero but the heroine - she made me cringe with her reaction after having sex with Kell. She is the kind of lay a man dreads - who, after having first-time sex, stalks off in a huff with her clothes clasped to her naked body because the man would not commit. There wasn't even time for a romance to develop, just sex. So I found it unreal (in 2003) for a heroine to have that attitude. I suppose in the 80's it was the norm for women to expect marriage after first-time sex. This scene ruined the entire book for me and I had no respect whatsoever for the heroine after that. I also found it unbelievable that Kell felt guilty that Rachel felt she was 'just a sexual convenience' for him. It would have been more like it - in the 80's - for a man to be callous of a woman's feelings than today.

"Diamond Bay" is Ms. Howard at her best. Strong heroine saves great hero with lots of danger and spicy sex thrown in. This is a good, fast read,

My first Linda Howard book
I liked it because the woman wasn't an heiress or a princess or a victim or a prostitute. She was a loner who taught classes, wrote, grew her own vegetable garden and enjoyed the... Read more

Truly Enjoyable
It was really fun to be able to read one of my favorite author's early book. Diamond Bay is just a few of Linda Howard's early books that I manage to have. Read more

Okay, would make a good read when there's nothing else.
Didn't care that much for this Linda Howard book. It's a reprint from a long time ago - did she just dig it up and revise to make a buck? Read more
