Carson Wayne had come to Mandelyn with the ultimate request--he needed her to teach him how to treat a lady. It was too intriguing a challenge to turn down. Mandelyn suspected that the renegade was really a caring and sensitive man. But what she hadn't counted on were her own feelings for this irresistible rebel. From the author of Lady Love.
Carson Wayne is one of my favorite Palmer heroes. There is not a phony bone in his body, and DP does a masterful job of making him gruff and sweet at the same time. That he loves Mandy enough to want to make himself "better" for her is heart wrenching, knowing as we do that she loves him just the way he is but can't believe he could feel the same for her. Very beauty-and-the-beast, and sensual and humorous to boot. A keeper for sure!
One of Palmer's best!

I was really intrigued when I read the summary of the plot for this book - not too many of Palmer's westerns have high-society gals in them. But Mandy is actually very down to earth, and a saint to put up with all that Carson puts her through. I ached for them both, neither thinking that the other could possibly love them and hurting each other in the process. Palmer's signature passionate scenes and honest dialogue are in top form in this one. A real keeper!
Tugged at my heart...

I loved her female and male characters. Strong, brass man but tender hearted...the kind you fall in love with. I read in one setting. Enjoyed tremendously.
A great passionate escape into the ultimate romance!

Diana Palmer really knows how to crank up the sexual tension between her characters. Carson is a macho "diamond in the rough" who has been longing for Madelyn for years! He finally decides to do something about it, and enlists Maddie's help in polishing himself for the woman he wants. Maddie has no idea the woman is her. The scenes between them are passionate, and hilarious. It's a great read, but don't pick it up unless you can finish it in one sitting. It's impossible to put down.
A Keeper!

If you are like me and read romance novels to enter that special world of ideal love and romance this book is a must. Diana Palmer has a bit of every kind of romance that so many of us like. Unrequited, yearning, desperate love, a soft and feminine lady who is all woman and a hero who is all rough male who is willing to do anything for her including change but discovers that she loves him just as he is
