Editorial Reviews:

A big blond bear of a man… with a bear's growl!

Her new patient, Gannon van der Vere, had run off his last four nurses. But, determined to live up to the strength of her name, Dana Steele refused to be intimidated. A powerful entrepreneur until a devastating accident left his future in doubt, Gannon raged at all who approached. Dana hoped to light a candle in his darkness—and to escape from the shadows in her own past. But when she fell in love with her curmudgeonly employer, Dana's challenge was no longer strictly professional. Could prayer and persistence bring them both to a new dawn?

Summary: Stalled before the half-way mark
Comment: This book was bad. I read it twice to try and find some redeeming quality to it, but it fell short. Why did the female lead character change her personality from fiesty and able to take on challenges, to doormat once she admitted attraction/love for the male lead? Has this writer ever even been to Georgia? Descriptions were flat and inserted as if they were taken from an encyclopedia. Dialogue was decent until the character shift, but then became inane and frustrating. Lacked reality for my taste and felt like an author's first attempt at writing (i.e., lacking in evocative description and logical character progression). I was sorry to have spent the money on it and agree with previous reviewer who said it didn't earn the right to be in the inspirational category.

Summary: Another excellent read
Comment: Once again I was thrilled with a book written by Diana Palmer. The way she tells a story brings you into the story and helps you feel what the characters are feeling. A must read for all Diana fans and those who will become fans.

Summary: Good grief
Comment: ...It was so one-dimensional and so populated with cardboard characters that it bored me silly by page 10. I did persist and finished it but really don't see how this can be "love inspired" in any size, shape or form. If it is supposed to be about people of faith, it gave us a man who handled his lady roughly, raged at her and never seemed to me, at any rate, to grow up, find any spiritual dimension or develop any real feeling towards those around him. The inference made to the heroine's mother being better off dead, bearing in mind she had been an unhappy alcoholic, was incredible to say the least and was really quite offensive. The dialogue was strictly B movie and stilted and strained. Also, the book was clearly given a bit of a re-write to bring it up to date (eg the use of computer technology circa 2003 and not the early 1980s when it originally appeared) but it didn't work...

Summary: This is NOT a sleeper!
Comment: I'm a little apalled at the first customer's review by calling this story one to 'take a nap'! Although, before reading this book, I had never heard of or read Diana Palmer's previous sellers (including those written under her old pen name 'Katy Currie') I found this book to be very good and insightful. I must admit that in some parts the predictability of what would happen next was point blank. However, if all the reader does is try to 'predict' what will happen next then they are missing the story! To me, it was obviously a beautiful love story between a blind man and a woman who had not known real love. It showed how we as humans are so quick to 'see' a person on the outside without even considering the real soul within. The characters fall in love with each other not because of a physical attraction, which we know does not last forever, but on the basis of a trusting and complete love that surpasses the physical appearances. An excellent example of the character's relationship, which is realized in the end, can be found in the Bible in 1 Corinthians 13:4-8. For those of you who have not read this book, I would recommend it to anyone who wants to (for a few hours) live in the world of two lonely people who find each other and give of themselves what they thought could never have, and that is true love!

Summary: Blind Promises (Love Inspired)
Comment: I have been a fan of the author for years, but I think that this has to be the worst book that she has written. The plot was dull and the characters were unrealistic. The only thing this book inspired me to do was take a nap.
