After the Music (The Essential Collection)

I enjoy all of Diana Palmer's books, but this one is especially good - highly recommended. Description from the book back cover: It all started as a joke. Sabina Cane was only pretending to be engaged to her best friend, millionaire Al Thorndon. Al had talked her into this scheme as way to trick his older brother, Thorn. Al had no choice but to lie and make Sabina his accomplice, and she thought it would be for just one night. So when Thorn accused her of being a gold-digger, she just laughed it off. She didn't think of the repercussions - that Thorn would dig up her long-buried secrets. Revealing them now would destroy everything she'd worked so hard to put behind her. But she couldn't let her best friend down, could she?

Diana Palmer is so good! This is another one of her wonderful novels. Why is it that I always get so upset at the male leads and then fall head over heels for him? It must be because she expresses the male character so well, you can't help but understand his conflict and reactions. I became emotionally involved in this book and it satisfied me in every way!

I loved this book, becaus the characters were well matched. It kept me amused. The plot was a good and I especially like the scene where Sabina and Thorn first meet. It's something that would most unlikely happen, but still humorous. I love Elizabeth Lowell's books so it was of no surprise that I enjoyed this book.

Sabina and Thorn are excellent at misunderstanding each other. The plot is well written. Diana Palmer is excellent at writing plots that tugs at your heartstrings. The other books that are heart-tuggers are Coltrain's Proposal and The Patient Nurse. I can really feel Sabina's emotions in After The Music. I cry when she cries and laugh when she laughs. As one of Diana Palmer avid fan, I definitely recommend this one.
