Oh my God. Oh. My. God. :') How I love Diana Palmer!!! God, this lady is...she is...wow. I'm speechless. Diana Palmer is one hell of an author. I don't care what others say about her, I don't care if her writing is cheesy, I don't care if I'm being shallow about this, but I fuckin' love Diana Palmer. She gives you exactly what you want. I love the twisting angst and emotion in her stories, and I love how the heroines are sweet and innocent. I love how the heroes are such asses, and when the time comes, magic at grovelling. I love all the love and pain and sweet angst her stories cause. *sigh* God, I love her. I've said it before and I'll say it again, there's no other author like this woman.Now let's get to the book. It was a really sweet, angsty read and I delighted in every minute of it. There wasn't much I disliked about this book; I didn't like the exotic setting and their quick wedding. And I'd have liked it better if the *ahem* had taken place after their marriage. The heroine, Dani was not a typical Diana Palmer heroine - she was older (26), did not have blonde hair and she was a bit large on front side. Diana's heroines are usually small. But she was a sweetheart, innocent and trusting, just like all her other heroines are. This is why I love her so much, dammit :') I liked how she loved the hero but was independent. I loved how she left him when she came to know of his profession. This one was a heroine with a backbone. And I love sweet, innocent heroines who have backbones even more :') And, as usual, I was on her side the entire time. (I still loved Dutch hopelessly though.)We move onto Dutch now. He was a non-typical Palmer hero as well - he was blonde! And he wasn't hairy either. But I loved him, and I loved the faint scars on his face. I'm a sucker for a less-than-perfect hero <3 DAMMIT I WISH I HAD MY .GIF IMAGES. But, once again, he was completely Diana Palmer in his asshole-ness. I love how in her books, big, strong men who have stopped feeling a long time ago are brought to their knees with their love for a single woman. And that is exactly what happened in this book, even though Dutch tried to resist it. I loved how he was so caring and considerate about Dani when she was pregnant, *sigh* Diana Palmer heroes...The plotline was good with no evil OW and I liked the side-characters very much. Even though I never completed Gabby and JD's story, this book makes me want to go back and read it. A really good read.
Uma Estranha ao Meu LadoDiana PalmerSoldado da Fortuna ou Mercenários 02Harlequin2010Apaixonar-se por um estranho, tudo bem. Agora, casar com um é uma loucura completa. Acho que Danielle e Eric se precipitaram, digamos que o desejo falou mais alto. Eles se conhecem num voo comercial. A primeira impressão não foi das melhores, cada um tem reservas sobre o outro. Mas com o passar dos dias a paixão tomou conta. Eric ou Holandês com queiram. É um homem misterioso e curioso. Como um bom mocinho da Diana Palmer, têm sérios problemas emocionais: odeia todas as mulheres existentes. Pois, teve experiências traumatizantes com elas. Não acredita no amor, pensa que não possuir sentimentos profundos. E por último não quer criar vínculos com ninguém.Quer ler a resenha completa e muito mais, visite o blog Momentos da Fogui: http://foguiii.blogspot.com.br/2014/1...
