My
Thoughts:
Erin has been in love with Ty, who is also her boss, since she
was a teenager. She gave up on ever catching his attention romantically, but
then he asks her out on a date. Erin doesn’t think the date is anything more than
just a ruse to get a persistent female off Ty’s tail, and it is a little of
that, but Ty has been seeing Erin a bit differently lately. More than just his little
sister’s best friend.
They end up sleeping with each other, and from Erin’s POV it
seems Ty regrets and feels guilty, so she makes it seem like it didn’t mean
much when it really meant the world to her. She ends up pregnant (in the book description), but other stuff is going on: her father
is ill, financial woes thanks to her idiot father, and then Ty is an idiot too!
Ty’s company loses a bid to a competitor that came in with
lower prices. Ty is told that Erin is responsible. Ty believes the accusation despite
Erin’s denials.
Yep, there was a lot of angst. I wanted to strangle Ty and Erin’s
father! When a guy’s an idiot there has to be a proper amount of groveling to
salvage the romance for me. Did Erin forgive him? Well, I guess you’ll have to
read it and see, but this is a romance. I was happy with how it all turned out,
and I was compelled to read straight through after I got to the 30% mark. It
was a page-turner!
I’ve been wanting to read one of Diana Palmer’s romances for
quite some time, she’s such a legend in the genre! I was happy I finally got my
chance. While Wyoming Proud was a bit more angsty than I usually prefer,
I enjoyed it and would like to read more of her backlist soon!

Book Description:
A sudden romance leads to betrayal and a shocking secret…
It takes one night for Erianne Mitchell to fall heart-first for dashing architect Ty Mosby. They work together and have friends in common—and a searing attraction that seems far too good to last.
But when a devastating mistake tears them apart, Erianne flees to Wyoming with a secret, one she hopes Ty never discovers. She did nothing wrong, and she’ll never ask Ty to forgive her. She'll support herself…and the baby growing inside her. How can she be with a man who doesn’t trust her?
Ty knows exactly what he’s lost and he’ll do anything to beg for her forgiveness and win back her trust. When he finds her, she’s just as proud as he remembers. Is it too late for him to make amends…or is destiny about to test them in an even bigger way?

I was curious about this author but this one is probably more angsty than I want to read either. Wonderful review!

Yes, it was almost too angsty for me too, but it all worked out. It was a page-turner.
DeleteYeah Diana Palmer really focuses on the couple angst lol and its not for everyone. But some of her books are better than others. Glad to see it had some promising returns for you even though it wasn't fully satisfying.
ReplyDeleteIt was a lot of drama, lol, but I did enjoy it. :) I do want to read more from her.
DeleteWow, sounds an interesting story. Thanks for your review of this book. I'm adding to my TBR.
ReplyDeleteHope you love it! :)
DeleteMary (over at https://scarymarythehamsterlady.blogspot.com/) didn't love this one either...she felt like Ty should have trusted Erin more and not been such a jerk.
ReplyDeleteYes, I totally agree with her opinions on the story! Ty was a jerk. I wanted to strange him.
DeleteIt has been quite a few years since I last read one of her books but I do like the sound of this one even if it is full of angst.
ReplyDeleteI did enjoy it despite Ty getting me riled up, lol!
DeleteGrr..angst. It makes me all prickly!
ReplyDeleteSame here, Kimberly!
DeleteI've been meaning to try her stuff too. Maybe not starting with this one with all the angst. :)
ReplyDeleteYes, I'd like to try another one of her stories.
DeleteI'm so glad you read one of her books. Ty was definitely a jerk but it was a good story. Her dad just made me so mad.
ReplyDeleteHer dad was awful! Thankfully Ty straightened up. I do want to read more by her.
DeleteI'd definitely be frustrated with the angsty characters, but I'm glad this one picks up into a page turner. A quick plot always helps me keep going!
ReplyDeleteYes, I was frustrated, but thankfully the hero got his head on straight and made amends. The quick plot did help my enjoyment. I was invested in the story for sure!
DeleteSounds very interesting!
ReplyDeleteIt was!
