Title: Disgusted ... don't waste your money on a hateful, abusive hero
Review: I outgrew Diana Palmer's books years ago, but when I saw that she had a new Desire book, I picked it up out of curiosity to see if she had evolved in recent years. Apparently not. I cannot believe that Silhouette would publish such an awful book. The hero in this book is simply mean, hateful, and abusive to the heroine -- yelling at her, screaming at her, demeaning her. He has absolutely NO redeeming qualities whatsoever. He's physically and emotionally abusive of her, and then in the end, he shows up with a ring and she forgives decades of abuse to fall into his arms. Please. That is so 1970! I actually read this entire book in one sitting (it's short, mind you) because I couldn't believe a book published in 2006 could be this outdated and this bad. It was like watching a train wreck in slow motion. I kept waiting for the hero to develop some redeemling qualities, but he never did.
