Beloved (Silhouette Desire #1189)

As you can see i absolutely love this book! So tender, sensual and heartwarming. This is my first DP book i've ever read and it got me hooked on her long tall texan series. At times i wanted to throttle simon for being so dense and hard and my heart was aching for tira and her unrequited love for him. But like all excellent romance novels, the hero and heroine get together in the end and you know what? I wouldn't have it any other way. recommend this anyone who's heart is as gooey as mine.(also recommended callaghan's bride)

Back cover reads: "No woman will ever be allowed within striking distance of my heart!" -Simon Hart, iron-hearted, insufferably stubborn Long, Tall Texan He'd sworn off romantic entaglements forever. But every man had a weakness, and his was the beautiful, beguiling Tira Beck. He'd angrily labeled the flamboyant socialite a shameless flirt with a cavalier attitude about marriage--until he learned she'd secretly saved all her love for him. Against his will, Simon became entranced by her glorious presence, her every gesture igniting him like a sweet, beckoning caress. Still, he knew the virtuous virgin wasn't about to surrender her nights to him...unless he became her beloved!

My first Silhouette Desire in a while, couldn't put it down! Tira is warm, sexy, innocent and has been madly in love with Simon for years; of course he has no clue. I was so proud of Diana Palmer for making someone with a disability feel sexy and attractive! I wouldn't care that Simon had lost an arm in an accident -- he sounds like someone I'd like to fall in love with!

This book was one of the most romantic love stories I have ever read. Simon hart emotions were too cold & forbidding: therefore it had to take someone as warm & compassionate as Tira to thaw his cold heart and encourage him to love again. Way to go diana. keep on writing these sensual novels and I'll keep on reading.Thank you.
