Summary
She's haunted his dreams for years， and now she’s back to wreak havoc on his heart
When Sheriff Cody Banks’s wife died， he blamed Abbie Brennan for the illness he's sure killed Deborah and， in his grief， made sure she knew it。 Looking back now， he knows that his behavior was likely the reason Abbie left town years ago。 So when he sees her—and the child she’s raising—at her great-uncle's funeral， Cody attempts to apologize， ashamed to see the fear he puts in her beautiful eyes and determined to show her he's no longer that same angry man。
The only reason Abbie returned to Catelow， Wyoming， was to bury her last living relative。 She has studiously avoided Cody Banks ever since he made it clear how much he resents her， focusing instead on raising her young niece and keeping her own family legacy alive。 But when Abbie inherits the property adjoining Cody’s， she can't help but face the handsome sheriff who still lingers in her memory。 Circumstances keep pulling them together， but has time healed their wounds and given them a chance at a happily-ever-after？

I am a huge fan of Diana Palmer and I love how all here stories inter connect。。。 Plus the Wyoming series connecting with Texas。。 But this Book was missing a connection I can't put my finger on， I just wondered if there were too many characters with similar names， and the criminal plot was not expanded， on so left me rather confused at times。 And some of the minor characters came through as idiots as in Lassiter Jr。 I always love the old fashioned romance of her books， always a feel good buzz， a I am a huge fan of Diana Palmer and I love how all here stories inter connect。。。 Plus the Wyoming series connecting with Texas。。 But this Book was missing a connection I can't put my finger on， I just wondered if there were too many characters with similar names， and the criminal plot was not expanded， on so left me rather confused at times。 And some of the minor characters came through as idiots as in Lassiter Jr。 I always love the old fashioned romance of her books， always a feel good buzz， a little more Romance/ Sex may have been good here I think。 。。。more

I enjoyed the book from beginning to end。 a lot of new characters and a few returning。 Cody and Abby fit well together， even though it took quite a while for him to realize it。 I love Diane Palmer books and will definitely be reading this again。

Diana Palmer Rocks！People say Ms。 Palmer’s stories are all the same while some are definitely similar this one is not one of those。 It has similarities but it was different。 People read romances for their feel-good feelings。 If you don’t want to read about a positive love story I suggest you read another genre。 Hope this review finds the author （wink） and her family well。Always a fan from South Texas！

There were so many times I felt like stopping this audio and deleting it， but I trudged on。 It was deeply sexist and filled with so much misogyny and can't believe this was written by a woman。 Why？？？ Ms。 DP must either have very low self-esteem or hate women。 Perhaps she's 80 years old， not sure and I don't care to know as I will never read another one of her books。 She constantly described the male MC as so much more intelligent， handsome and superior to the female。 Like he had to teach her eve There were so many times I felt like stopping this audio and deleting it， but I trudged on。 It was deeply sexist and filled with so much misogyny and can't believe this was written by a woman。 Why？？？ Ms。 DP must either have very low self-esteem or hate women。 Perhaps she's 80 years old， not sure and I don't care to know as I will never read another one of her books。 She constantly described the male MC as so much more intelligent， handsome and superior to the female。 Like he had to teach her everything， he knew best， etc。 She often described Abby as not very pretty， plain looking as if Cody was doing her a favor and he could do so much better。 At one point Cody says he's "conservative"; really， I couldn't tell （sarcasm）。 When was this book written？ 1950？ 。。。more

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 I know I know， I’m biased as regards DP， she’s an old love of mine and I can’t not enjoy her books especially the new ones。Once I read her preface of one of her books and I was surprised to see that she actually hated her hero， and pitied the heroine， even if that hero wasn’t one of the worst ones， and it was then that I understood that she really enjoyed writing about mean and dumb male heroes and her heroines are really smarter than them and ended in love with the hero somehow pitying him for I know I know， I’m biased as regards DP， she’s an old love of mine and I can’t not enjoy her books especially the new ones。Once I read her preface of one of her books and I was surprised to see that she actually hated her hero， and pitied the heroine， even if that hero wasn’t one of the worst ones， and it was then that I understood that she really enjoyed writing about mean and dumb male heroes and her heroines are really smarter than them and ended in love with the hero somehow pitying him for his many faults。This one is a typical DP。- the heroine is naive， innocent and of course virgin （even if she’s not a teenager） - she’s got the sob story of all sob stories and lost her parents and brother and is all alone with her niece。 A cute lil girl。- she’s plain， even if she seems to have many men interested in her since she’s so sweet she can give you diabetes if you aren’t careful。- the hero is a man of law， and wronged the heroine years before- he’s not so smart regarding women in general。-he’s not so great in bed- he’s got issues。 Many。 Trust issues。 Communication issues。 - he’s been hurt by a woman - he’s all alone with a dog - a lot of sexism with a career oriented woman being cold and selfish and a sweet caring one who only wants to stay at home and have children。- dichotomy big city evil/ small town good。 Career woman bad/ homebody woman good。The man is no prince as usual DP， he was married to a woman who was a doctor and lived in another city， they met only during the weekend and she didn’t want children。 He was madly in love with her。 When she died for a strange virus he blamed the heroine and her niece， that makes him a mean and stupid man since the woman was a doctor and actually it was her job being with sick people。 Turns out it wasn’t even the heroine who was sick but I wonder， even if she were， whe couldn’t know her virus was lethal to ow。The heroine leaves the town with her niece and the hero feels like shit because of his behavior。Years later， the heroine decides to go back to the small town and to live in the ranch her cousin left her。You know， Denver is such a dangerous and ugly city （is it？） and she’s so glad she can live there。 The man is still pining for his dead ex but tries to make amends to the heroine and soon they become friends because she’s sweet and he loves her niece too。As the book goes by you learn that his dead ex， rest her in peace， was the greatest bitch of the universe， a cold unfeeling woman who didn’t love animals and children and didn’t like sick people （a doctor， seriously）。 She was selfish and didn’t even want her husband to go and see her to Denver， which make you think she had something to hide。Aaaaaaand did she have something to hide。Basically the bitch had an affair with a colleague who was married and she decided to marry the hero to have a cover to their relationship。 Of course she loved her lover and not the hero。Half the book you wonder how a man - a grown up man- could have been so fool not to see that not only the woman he idolized was a selfish bitch and he would have never been happy with her， but also that she was hiding something。He was 36 and still hung over his dead bitch of a wife。Really？？？In the meantime his friendship with the heroine becomes more but when he finds out the truth about his wife he’s got cold feet and tries to keep his distance from the heroine and her niece。Almost falling into another bitch’s trap。 Seriously？？？Ok， we know he didn’t feel anything and wasn’t even aroused by this one， but he was seen with her around the small town and the heroine was hurt by this sudden turnaround。But thank god she kept herself cold and didn’t let him see he was hurting her。And she also went out on a date with another charming man making the hero all jealous and angry。Thank god the hero understands that he loves her and he immediately asks her to marry him before some other guy could whisk her away under his nose。There’s also a mystery case that I don’t want to talk about because it was something I didn’t care。 Of course the hero is a sheriff so there’s always some case he’s working on but， seriously， all that drama I could do without。Did I enjoy the book？ Yes I did。 DP is a very good writer， she’s easy to read and is very entertaining with her cute too sweet and naive heroines and her grumpy not so smart heroes。 And her cringy sex。 Yes， even that。 。。。more

Dive into a mystery that's drowning in danger and heart。 Wyoming Homecoming started with promise， but somehow lost it's way。 Between the surprise twists and the emotional depth， the love story fell a little flat。 I love Diana Palmer， but I was hoping for so much more。 Dive into a mystery that's drowning in danger and heart。 Wyoming Homecoming started with promise， but somehow lost it's way。 Between the surprise twists and the emotional depth， the love story fell a little flat。 I love Diana Palmer， but I was hoping for so much more。 。。。more

Wyoming Homecoming， the 11th book in Diana Palmer's Wyoming Men series is， in this reader's opinion， the least interesting novel in the series。 It does start out in a rather interesting fashion， with the death of Charlie Butler， which brings the heroine， Abigail Brennan and her orphaned， 9-year-old niece， Lucy， back from Denver to Catelow， Wyoming。 Sheriff Cody Banks， is also present at the funeral， Charlie being distantly related to Cody's late wife， Deborah， who died after contracting an exoti Wyoming Homecoming， the 11th book in Diana Palmer's Wyoming Men series is， in this reader's opinion， the least interesting novel in the series。 It does start out in a rather interesting fashion， with the death of Charlie Butler， which brings the heroine， Abigail Brennan and her orphaned， 9-year-old niece， Lucy， back from Denver to Catelow， Wyoming。 Sheriff Cody Banks， is also present at the funeral， Charlie being distantly related to Cody's late wife， Deborah， who died after contracting an exotic and deadly virus， and Abby and Lucy avoid him like the plague。 Six years earlier， Cody accosted Abby and Lucy， ranting like a madman and blaming them for his wife's death--which they didn't cause。 His wife was a neurologist in Denver， and in the two years they were married， Deborah rarely came home to visit her husband， and the few times she did return to Catelow， it wasn't for long， and， we learn that she was also ice-cold in bed， complaining about his lack of lovemaking skills。 The few times Cody visited her in Denver， he never saw anything but her living room。 Yet he was madly in love with her， and now， 6 years later， he's still grieving her loss， but as a reader， I had to ask why he was so devoted to a woman he barely knew， and who seemed to barely tolerate him。 His love and devotion to this cold， distant woman made no sense at all to this reader， and that's just one of the reasons for giving this novel a 1-star rating。After some complicated family history， we learn that Charlie Butler left his ranch to Abby， who is only too happy to leave behind her tiny apartment in a terrible neighborhood， as well and the dreadful and dangerous school Lucy attends behind， and as a paralegal， she is immediately hired by a local law firm， leaving the running of the ranch to Charlie's trusted ranch foreman。 What she dreads is the fact that Charlie's ranch abuts the small ranch owned by Sheriff Banks， who repeatedly thinks of Abby as plain， and not particularly attractive beyond her nice hair and figure。 But eventually， after losing his beloved dog to cancer， Abby and Lucy begin to take him under their wing， invite him over for dinners， and begin to befriend him。 What follows is a series of inter-related crimes--all off-screen， the arrival of a really strange， lying man from Florida， a multiple murder plot， and the on again， off again relationship between Cody and Abby。 Of course， she's a virgin who was raised in a home with an abusive alcoholic father and abused mother， which has put her off men entirely。 What is revealed about Cody and his late wife isn't surprising， but even with his attraction to the plain but kind Abby， and her adorable niece， Lucy， he starts seeing a pretty， blonde state trooper， ghosting Abby and Lucy， and his not bothering to call or text when his job made it impossible to show up at the dinner they'd invited him to， his sheer rudeness offended me。 Abby was far more forgiving than I would have been。 Yet， when he learns that another law enforcement officer on the case， Lassiter， was seen taking Abby and Lucy on a Sunday drive， Cody becomes jealous。 This is a man who simply cannot make up his mind。 Yes， eventually the crimes are solved and the bad guys put away， but while we learn about the complicated criminal plots after they occur， there was never a single moment of suspense in this novel。 Additionally， Sheriff Cody Banks comes off as dumb as a post。 He married a woman he knew for a grand total of 2 days， who seemingly wanted nothing to do with him， didn't want to bear the children he hoped to have， yet he is still grieving his lost love 6 years later， and has remained celibate all that time。 He repeatedly thinks about how plain looking Abby is， yet for the expected and long-awaited happily ever after ending to this non-romantic romance， proposes marriage to her。 I'm still shaking my head。I've read every single novel Ms。 Palmer has ever written， and in this reader's humble opinion， this is one of the worst， least romantic， and most nonsensical of the lot。 I'm still reeling over how dense the hero is， how little suspense there was， how lackluster the tone of this novel was， and I simply cannot recommend it。I voluntarily read an advance reader copy of this novel。 The opinions stated are my own。 。。。more
