A Man of Means

I have to disagree with most of the reviews written below. I believe this book was great. I'm also a big Diana Palmer fan and ive read my share of her stories. I think this one was sweet and both characters were strong, unlike other stories where the woman is incredibly fragile and weak. Meredith lives a life who could break anyone if they werent strong enough, yet she is able to hold herself up without help. She even hides her real education as a nurse and accepts to live out in a tiny city. This time, the reader wasnt always being reminded of how innocent she was, how fragile, etc. This time she actually had a strong personality. Rey is just like the other men in Palmer's stories...hes stubborn, "sexy", has his mind set on thinking the female is a "tramp", and does not want to get married. There wasnt really a change in the male character, so no big thing there. But, a good character overall. Overall i think this story is great for so many reasons. If you want a different story, with strong characters, this one is the one. I think the only thing that i agree on with the previous reviews is that you dont do CPR on someone who is alive....but you kind of overlook that since its not a medical text. However, correct information would have been nice.

Top notch book by Diana Palmer. I always enjoy her books and this one was long awaited. You can't go wrong with one of her titles.

I was very reluctant to buy this book because the last few I had purchased were not very good. I read this book last night and I found myself interested and unable to put it down. I have always enjoyed reading about the Hart brothers and Rey did not disappoint me. At first he came off as arrogant and high handed but he has reasons to be so because of the past. It also appears that Ms. Palmer has finally created a heroine who is believable and although "virginal" is not some mis-informed female who knows nothing about the world. Meredith is a professional woman who is feisty and can stand her own against Rey. I almost feel that Diana has been reading some of the reviews others have posted about her books and really took a hard look at making some changes with her characters and plotlines because this book is far better than her last few.
