A bit of a departure from the usual Palmer romance, because the hero in this book (a reformed Chicago gangster rather than a Long Tall Texan) actually falls in love with the heroine and treats her well. Of course a conflict has to arise which will cause him to break her heart temporarily, but it's a much more pleasant read than typical Palmer.
A typical Diana Palmer romance but I enjoyed it. Call it a guilty pleasure!
Sweet story, good plot. Enjoyed. Read it twice.

In this emotional Long Tall Texans Christmas story, Palmer crafts the passionate story of undercover FBI agent Marcus Carrera, who unexpectedly finds love when he becomes a bodyguard to shy Jacobsville seamstress Delia Mason.

This story is totally different than the other ones. I really like it.
Great story. A must for anyone who collects Palmer's series books.
