I didn't want to go too far downwardly the rainbow, collywobbles and unicorn vortex so I stayed abroad from good LG and went to the one we all love but aren't quite certain why, Diana Palmer. I want to emphasize a point from my first review that there is "minimum cruelty" on the part of the H. The big ole hair smoke stack can only become so far.
The sartorial portion of the book..
THE HEROINE:
She's drab hence her wearing
beige raincoat and its matching hat. A MATCHING chapeau.
And
She had just bought the new frontier skirt and a matching high-necked ruffled blouse on Sat
She wears that twice because she knows the H hates it. What's actually the question is why she thinks that dressing like Sister-Adult female will make her bonny to the younger brother she yens for.Especially when the lilliputian brother is panting later a sexy Argentine woman. You option!
THE HERO:
his casual slacks, deep burgundy–colored velour shirt and tweed jacket. The shirt was open up at the throat, and she saw a glimpse of darkly tanned pare and thick, very thick hair in the opening.
Heaven assist u.s., a velour shirt. And he smokes.
She'south sassy…
"Can I assist it if God gave you unbelievable talents in lovemaking to compensate for your lack of looks?" she asked.
They banter...
"The signal behind instruction you to exist seductive was not to teach you how to seduce me," he said before long. "I am not going to get sexually involved with a virgin."
"So y'all keep saying," she returned. "Then why don't you stop kissing me and proverb outrageously suggestive things to me?"
He'south manly.
"You can be independent to a certain point," he agreed. "But I'll want you with me when I travel. I don't want to spend nights away from yous."
In other words, y'all're not independent.
A young widow? The heroine to the H:
Regan, will it always exist similar this for us, fifty-fifty when we're onetime and wrinkled?"
"Speak for yourself, I don't plan to get old.
No, because you are going to dice young or else live out your days in an oxygen tent. What the heck Diana Palmer! 3.v verging on 4 stars.
OLD REVIEW
Your hero is a gruff, head-over-his-heels, fairy godfather in the making.
The H takes the gawky h in hand so she tin can take hold of his little stepbrother. Too bad the H is head over heels in love with the heroine. To stab a trope in the middle even more, she realizes she'due south in love with the large bad, hairy chested Diana Palmer hero sooner rather than later. ALL DP's hero's have hairy chests.
He resists with a minimum of cruelty, and HEA.
Nicely done!!!

Hero is attracted to the heroine, only he's expressionless within always since his wife and unborn child were killed in a aeroplane crash three years before.
Virgin heroine *hates* the hero because he
Awwww. This was adorable. "Apartment chested," obviously secretarial assistant heroine is in love with her boss. Her boss's stepbrother, the hero, notices and decides he will make-over the heroine. He'due south worried his stepbrother is falling for a golddigger, then if he can get the boss and secretarial assistant together information technology will solve two little problems.Hero is attracted to the heroine, just he'south dead within ever since his wife and unborn kid were killed in a plane crash three years earlier.
Virgin heroine *hates* the hero because he'due south sarcastic, knows all of her secrets and doesn't pull any punches. Plus she'southward wildly attracted to him, too.
And how can she resist this?
{She} canonical of his casual slacks, deep burgundy-colored velour shirt, and tweed jacket. The shirt was open at the throat, and she saw a glimpse of darkly tanned pare and thick, very
thick hair in the opening. It fabricated him look even more masculine . . .
The wearing apparel sense!
The thick, very thick chest hair!
Plus a twice-broken nose and big feet. *waggles eyebrows*
At that place are plenty of misunderstandings along the way with the hero not realizing the heroine has transferred her affections to him and the heroine not realizing the hero really is over his wife'southward expiry.
Yet some other plane crash brings everyone to their senses.

I liked the tension, confusion, and the heroine wasn't a Total chump. The brand-over was realistic. I really liked that he already liked the heroine pre-makeover and was just doing this to aid her catch his brother. Uh huh. I saw through that ane. The big old teddy bear was helping her get the courage she needed to seduce HIM...just THEY didn't know information technology at the fourth dimension.
What a goodread!

Diamond girl had a beautiful main couple even if Regan occasionally went also far along the grumpy and heart-searching calibration. I did enjoy the antagonistic human relationship between Reagan and Kenna though. It'due south a bit of a platitude in terms of plot. Girl has beat out on a guy who doesn't notice her and in order to attract his attention an interested tertiary party helps her get a makeover and in the process… well I'm sure you tin guess the rest and if you lot tin't well then you won't desire the spoilers.Even so, there is a motion picture based on the book (although a lot of things are inverse in it) and I have to admit to this being one of the few times that I prefer the picture adaptation. But since this book doesn't accept that much time to read if y'all are tempted by it so give information technology a go. Even if yous don't like information technology y'all'll accept only lost a few hours out of your life.

This story reminded me of the sometime moving-picture show I watched in high school music class, "Off-white Lady."
This H was endurable considering DP's other jerk heroes, but not a sweetheart for sure. And his habits of smoking annoyed me, but this was DP's early works, so I supposed that was acceptable at that time?
And h'southward reason for not wearing a bra was to claim women'southward freedom was beyond me. The manner at that time, too?

Kenna is in dearest with her boss Denny- who doesn't find her. Who does however discover besides equally make her mad is his stepbrother Kenna, who decides she needs a makeover to ever attract Denny and become him out of a gold digger's arms.
What begins is a foreign fairy godfather relationship, filled with wit, sense of humour and passion.
I really enjoyed the banter and evolution of feelings betwixt the 2.

Unfortunately, her relationship with Denny'south brother, Regan, was bristly and complicated. The shine, dark New Yorker seemed woefully out of place in Denny's small Atlanta police business firm. Regan was curt and abrupt, barking orders at her like a drill sergeant.

For quite some fourth dimension, Kenna Dean had been in honey with her boss, Denny Cole. His blond good looks and winning smile had captured her heart and Kenna would practise almost anything the man asked.Unfortunately, her human relationship with Denny's brother, Regan, was bristly and complicated.

Yet, information technology was Regan who noticed Kenna's hero worship and decided to assist her transform herself into a swan. In a single week, Regan managed to accept Kenna'due south pilus cutting into a becoming fashion, her brand upwards redesigned and it was he who ordered a new wardrobe of stunning, eye catching outfits for her as well.
When he returned to the office, Denny was entranced by Kenna's transformation and his interest briefly strayed from his sultry girlfriend. Secretly, Regan was also pleased by Kenna'south appearance and he couldn't help noting her dramatic appeal. Gone was the frumpy looking legal secretary. In her identify was a graceful, lovely immature woman who mesmerized him but past walking across the room.
Kenna should have been ecstatic that Denny had finally noticed her. Then why did her heart beat and so excitedly whenever Regan was almost? Why did her gaze stray to his handsome confront, silently seeking his approval? She couldn't really treat Regan, could she? Mayhap, in the face up of tragedy, she'll come up to know the truth of her love.

Updated rating: 4 stars (August 05, 2015)
Decided to reread it, as I was cleaning my drawer and found my DVD of Diamond Girl. Although I prefer the book to the pic adaptation, as the adaptation was pretty shitty. Took off 0.5 star from my rating, as it irked me that Regan only started showing involvement in Kenna when she had a makeover.
Either style, information technology'south a DP volume, so an automated rating of over iii stars, as I dear DP too much to requite less.

Sure this volume is typical Diana Palmer, I enjoyed it no doubt but the catastrophe, that's my biggest problem.
I always the idea of hurting heroine past misunderstand especially in Diana Palmer'south book. For example, The Wedding In White or the book that I read recently, Sutton's Way.
But this book, it'due south quite disappointing. I already love Regan and his hostility but I want more! So overall, adept book but need more wham-bam closure.

This one is about a secretary falling for the incorrect brother in the beginning. Then the other brother walks in. He's older, brooding (I'd concur to disagree), more assertive and over bearing. He has an upshot with Kenna'south
Unpopular opinion amidst my friends just this i wasn't a winner for me. For starters I simply didn't like plainly ol Kenna at all. It'southward hard for me to chronicle to someone who'south so unassuming that she tin can be humiliated and embarrassed and she'd just stand in that location and quietly receive it.This ane is about a secretary falling for the wrong brother in the beginning. And so the other brother walks in. He'south older, heart-searching (I'd concur to disagree), more assertive and over bearing. He has an issue with Kenna's dowdy appearance and inclination to exist a broad-eyed, self-wallowing plain jane.
He humiliates her repeatedly and calls out on her credible beat out on the younger brother that she'southward been harbouring for years. The H, Regan says the rudest possible things to her and Kenna here stands by, takes it on a plate and switches on her water works to confirm that she'south indeed, ugly, ungainly and poor.
I hated Kenna more right and then. For the life of me I could actually not feel the chemistry between the mc'southward. Regan repeatedly called Kenna hideous to look at and Kenna was accepting of it and hence agrees to his help of helping her update her pilus and article of clothing.
Kenna was one of the most desperate females I could've come across in my reading history. She is crass and has admittedly no reservations on her dignity. She's hot and bothered past Regan'due south kissing and is almost begging him to take her. She also announces her state of virginity.
There is no terminate to the level which Kenna reaches to display her neediness. She later confesses to the H's mother how she's pining later one of her sons and tin't wait to marry him. I felt embarrassed on Kenna'southward behalf for such a telling access. I'd die a hundred deaths really.
Unfortunately Kenna was so foregone in her pursuit of sex and a husband, there was no stopping her. I liked how Regan would rile her upwards by saying cruel things just she gave absolutely no chase. She was easy and available.
When the H is rescued towards the stop of the book, she is making out with him in front end of everyone and apparently soon secures herself an HEA. Apparently at that place'due south a moving-picture show on this on YouTube. Guess it must be a popular one!

The most astonishing matter about this was that it was written in 1996 rather than 1976. The outrageously cheesy clothes gave me a giggle, every bit did the hero with the thick furry chest hair that seemed to drive the heroine wild, and smoking was considered glamorous. Strangely, contact lenses didn't seem to have been invented (which I know they were).
Sweet story. It was cute how a rude grumpy 'Mr Higgins' hero (as in My Fair Lady) transformed the ugly duckling into a swan, so fell for her himself.The nigh amazing matter well-nigh this was that information technology was written in 1996 rather than 1976.

Lots of beautiful dialogue and banter. I exercise love a sarcastic hero.
