OMG!! I just can't believe how boring this book was, I had to make myself finish it, and I'm a long time Diana Palmer fan, but for me her last books are the same thing, everything get repeat over and over again.
I just wanted to smack the hero and tell him to get a life!!!

What a dull, dull romance. There weren't even any classic Palmer scenes of the hero being a complete and utter jerk to enliven it. Most of the book was about other characters than the hero and heroine (almost all of whom have their own books, so every bit of information about them is essentially a repeat.) And I'm sick to death of supposedly plump heroines who have small waists. Someone tell me how all these women pull *that* off, please.
This is another of my favorite books. Anybody that likes to Diana Palmer I would read this book.
THE PERMANENT TEMPORARY...
Blake Kemp was a man who knew his own mind and was as stubborn as the day is long in Jacobsville, Texas. As the town's leading lawyer, he had a reputation to uphold, and he didn't want the tender ministrations of his assistant to get in his way- even if he desperately needed her, since those big boots of his did have a tendency to step on toes...
So, of course, the boss man blew up at pretty, gentle Violet, for having the nerve to, of all things, step on his toes, causing her to leave him in a cloud of Texas dust.
But being a smart as well as hardheaded man, Blake could soon see that without his guiding light, his life would be in darkness. Only one thing to do-hire her back and make sure that business didn't mess with matters of the heart...on or off the job!

A great quick read. Not my usually type (reason for the low rating) but still a good read.
I really enjoyed this book.
Very good book!!

Another Diana Palmer great
Blake was a Texas lawyer who was used to stepping on peoples' toes. When he argues with his pretty assistant, Violet, she resigns and leaves in a huff. It doesn't take long for Blake to realize just how much he needs Violet, both in the courtroom and the bedroom.
Diana Palmer ... a favorite for an afternoon's easy read
