Fantastic Read, Oct 25 2011
By LAS Reviewer "The Long and the Short Of It Re... - Published on Amazon.com
Morie Brannt is trying to create a life for herself. She's the daughter of wealthy and well known cattle baron King Brannt and his top model wife, Shelby. So why is she working as a hired ranch hand on Rancho Real in Wyoming? Because she is doing what she loves, learning to work a ranch, since her father would not teach her and her brother thinks she is just plain nuts. But Morie loves what she does. Too bad she doesn't like her boss, Mallory Kirk. Mallory's opinion of women leaves a lot to be desired and he isn't going to give Morie any leeway. If she wants this job she is going to need to work for it just like the men on his ranch.Taken under the wing of an older and wiser hand and with Mallory's brothers for moral support, Morie tries to make a new life, appreciated for what she can do not just for what she is worth.
Throw in Mallory's jealous and suspicious girlfriend, an escaped convict hiding on the ranch, fancy dinner parties, the theft of a family heirloom and a surprising family member showing up at the ranch to put Morie in over her head and you have plenty of conflict.
Morie is a wonderful character, someone trying to be who she isn't but her true nature and passion come to the front at every turn. She is a constant source of surprise for Mallory and brings out the very best in him while also bringing out the very worst.
He is a typical Diana Palmer heartthrob hero...tall, sexy, stubborn, unwilling to believe he could be wrong and fighting falling for the wrong woman who is really the only right woman.
Diana Palmer has been a staple among romance fans for years now. She has always maintained a steady stream of devoted readers while consistently attracting new generations. With the introduciton of the Kirk brothers, she lays the ground work for more stories involving Cane, the war vet, and Dalton the former border agent.
I have been reading Diana Palmer books since the the 1970's. I admit I am a true fan of her Long Tall Texan series and appreciate the formula for her books.She is truly the Queen of the sensual, heartwarming, heart breaking romance where the hero eventaully comes to his senses before losing the great love of his life. This particular book is true Diana Palmer and is a must read for her die hard fans but is also a great place to start to eventually become one of her die hard fans.
At her worst she is fantastic and at her best she is amazing. With Wyoming Tough she is at her best!!!

Better than her last few books, Nov 3 2011
By Avid reader - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Wyoming Tough (Mass Market Paperback)
"Wyoming Tough" is the first in a proposed new series. I presume that the hero's tortured brothers will also have their own books, as will the random other characters introduced - Tenny Welsh, Ty Harding, Morie's brother Cort...It seems that several issues I have had with previous Palmer books have been addressed- there were no egregious history lectures to interrupt the flow of the narrative, no random rants on Native American rights/oppression, and Morie is not a poor, downtrodden girl with a serious medical issue. That said, "Wyoming Tough" is an improvement over many of DP's recent books, but by no means is an excellent book. The sentence structure is choppy, with many short sentences rather than linking them to create more complex sentences. The antagonist, Gelly Bruner, is DP's typical evil girlfriend of the hero standing in the way of true love. She's a cardboard cutout, as are most of the other characters in this book.
Will I buy her next release "True Blue"? Yes. Why? Because for all their flaws, I find Diana Palmer's books to be true guilty pleasures. I don't read them to be enlightened, but to see what eye-rolling situations her fertile mind can create, and how she will slightly alter her formula of <much> older hero/young, naive, underemployed heroine.

Wyoming Tough, Oct 31 2011

This review is from: Wyoming Tough (Mass Market Paperback)
I must say that I really enjoyed this book. I am a "huge" Diana Palmer fan and have all her books. This one was "much, much" better than some of her latest ones have been. It was great finding characters from some of her other books - like visiting old friends. It was wonderful reading a story again in her "tried and true" style that we all love.
