Shadow’s Thoughts:
Wyoming Tough started off good and kept on rolling!
Morie Brannt has always been fascinated by her family’s ranch and what it takes to keep it running. She wants to jump in and get her hands dirty but her father and brother think that she's too delicate for such work. Morie is fed up with their attitude, so she decides to take matters into her own hands. Leaving home she finds a ranch, states away, that’s willing to give her a shot.
Mallory Kirk owns a ranch with his two brothers when Morie shows up needing work and wanting to learn the ins and outs of how to run a ranch. At first they’re a bit skeptical at but decide to give her a try. Little do they know that she's not who she says she is. Mallory feels an attraction to the new hire Morie but doesn't want to let her too close, especially considering he already has a girlfriend with too many secrets.
I didn’t enjoy Diana's characters as much as I usually would and found them lacking in emotion. Mallory was a bit callous, cold and even harsh at times, I wanted to jump into the story and slap him! Morie’s character seemed too naïve; though she does get even in the end.
However, I enjoyed the plot. There was so much going on, that I was engrossed immediately. This book has a wanted man running loose, three brothers trying to cope with their inner turmoil, a jealous thieving girlfriend, heartache and so much more. Diana Palmer is a favorite of mine and a must read!

Sometimes when I want to slap a character it's because the character is so well written it incites feelings of needing to do bodily harm, other times it's because the character is not deep enough or does stupid things and I would like to slap them and make them change so it would be easier to keep reading.
ReplyDeleteAt least it sounded like the plot line was good enough to keep you reading!
I always enjoy a DP book. Have been reading her for a long time.
