Diana Palmer, Boss Man

Boss Man is the story of Blake Kemp and Violet Hardy, and I thought it was an interesting one for the Long Tall Texan series. I enjoyed how Diana mentioned the town's people of Jacobsville, included most of them in the storyline and gives us a slight glimpse into the next story in her series.

Now for my thoughts... I think some readers might not warm up to this storyline, due to the fact that the main character, Blake is still carrying the torch for the deceased love of his life and can't get passed it. Throughout the story he struggles with memories, and I sincerely believe he feels guilty for his feelings towards Violet, whether sexual or just because she's a sweet caring person.

Most of us want "happy ever after", but that's not life is it? Life can be harsh, cruel and lonely. I think Diana Palmer tried to show the reader that side of life, and yet let us believe that people can commit to a relationship and be happy, and hopefully both parties fall in love in the end. At any rate, a very nice addition to The Long Tall Texan series.
