Typical romance by Diana Palmer. Violet is a strong character, unlike a lot of the females in the other books. However, the male character in this one comes up extremely short. He has no attractive attributes whatsoever. He's selfish, caught in the past, and unwilling to do his part to make the relationship work. It seems like he cares about his pet cats more. Even to the end, he makes Violet settle for a measly relationship.

What a waste of my time and money! This author is living in a time warp! If you have another title, just change the names and you'll have a new book. How does she get away with submitting the same crap to the publisher?
Palmer's male characters are gods gift to women and get away with treating women like trash. The women are so fiesty, they put their men in their place with witty responses like "you, beast!" ...Blah, Blah, Blah.............

I enjoyed this book. It was a cute story. It tied up alot of questions that continued thru other books. I loved the two cats & how Violet won them over.

In other books Blake has tantalized with the possibility of a good romance but when his turn came, I found his story a dissapointment. It was the same for Dr. Coltrain & Cash Grier; the possibility of a highly charged romance was hinted at in stories where they had 'guest appearances' but it seemed that when it became time to tell thier stories Diana was tired of them and just threw a combination of old plots and contradictory situations together. Diana Palmers works are either very good or very bad and I won't spend the money on hardcover any more. I'll wait for the paperback.
