Mercenary's Woman

I love Diana Palmer Books but would not recommend this book if you have not read her previous soldier of fortune works. She brings back many of the characters from these books and the story can become very confusing if you are not familiar with them. That said I had trouble putting the book down. Eb and Sally really spark flames off of each other! Way to go Diana!

Just returned from a disaster in Africa, mercenary soldier Ebenezer Scott went too far in discouraging teenager Sally Johnson's crush. Now, six years later, Eb has left his active service and wants to woo Sally, but first he must protect her, her blind aunt and young cousin from returning enemies.Sally and Eb's love story is joined by a separate story about her aunt and a former lover, distracting the reader. In addition, other mercenaries are introduced for future books, grabbing your attention. That said, this is still a terrific book, mixing the action and romance nicely. Sally is now enough woman to accept Eb's work, rough visitors, and Eb's macho quirks. You will even feel pity for drug lord and killer, Manuel Lopez, a man with his own peculiar honor.I look forward to stories about Cy and Lisa, Maggie and Cole, Callie and Micah. And please give Rodrigo his own woman.

I couldn't put this book down until the end because it was good in it's own way. But I must say that it wasn't as I expected it to be. This one isn't like the others in the soldiers of fortune series and I was disappointed. There was too much about the drug cartel and so many characters. i thought that the author should of focused more on Eb's and Sally's relationship. There was too many characters unlike the other books and i didn't like some of them like some of them.

I never tire of reading a Diana Palmer book. In Mercenarys Woman she brought to life a new cast of characters and brought back alot of olders ones. Sally's and Eb's story revolves around a man named Lopez who runs a drug cartel. Sally's Aunt Jessica was the person who put Lopez in prison but now he is out and looking for revenge. Jessica, now blind, moves Sally and her son back to Jacobsville for protection. Protection in the form of Ebenezer Scott and his contacts. Diana has brought back her Soliders of Fortune series with a vengence. Sally and Eb's romance is filled with passion and danger, with Jessica's past love returning to complete the novel. I can't wait for the next installment of this series and I love the way Diana has incorporated her soldiers with her long tall texans. And a small note for Diana, hurry up with Micah and Cord's stories, I can't wait!
