Review: Cattleman's Pride

Cattleman's Pride by Diana Palmer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

UPDATE: ==>Relido em 23 de junho de 2016.

The author's heroes are easily fooled by OW.
They are gullible and adore a blonde socialite.
Just OW show interest and the hero goes blind and his brain stops working.
They become toys in their hands.
And if OW comes from a wealthy family then, they're even dumber.
For this hero a social position is more important than a good character.

Harley Fowler and Blake Kemp are wonderful!

The 4 stars are for our heroine and the townsfolk who supported her and her brother. The hero has gained zero star and a kick in the ass to learn to stop being dumb and shithead.

==>My Highligts:

"I don't know that he's got marriage on his mind," Curt replied slowly. "But he's spent a good deal of time with Julie and the senator just lately."

"He's got a big, fancy house and he likes to keep company with high society. Maybe that's why he's been taking Senator Merrill's daughter around. It gets him into places he was never invited to before. We'd never fit. Especially me,"

"She told me that you treated her so rudely that Kemp made her leave the office."

"Oh, look, it's the little secretary," Julie drawled when she saw Libby in line behind them. "Still telling lies about me, Miss Collins?" she asked with a laugh.

"Harley Fowler defended me," Libby said with a quiet smile.
"Harley's sweet. He defended me when Julie was insulting me."

"When Julie kissed him, it was with her whole body. She was more than willing to do anything he liked."

Kemp cursed. "I don't understand how a man who was so concerned for both of you has suddenly become an enemy. However," he added, "I imagine Julie Merrill has something to do with his change of heart." "He's crazy about her, from what we hear."

"You keep your sticky hands to yourself, you little liar," Julie told her as she passed on the steps. "Jordan is mine!" "No doubt you mean his money is yours, right?" Libby ventured. Julie drew back her hand and slapped Libby across the cheek as hard as she could. "Damn you!" she raged.

"I am nobody's one-night stand," she flashed at him. "Not even yours!"
"Don't make stupid jokes," he said icily. "You're no innocent."

"Libby and Curt had been forced to move out of the farmhouse where they'd grown up, because the bank had foreclosed."

"He'd liked being Julie's escort, being accepted by the social crowd she ran around with."

"Rumor is that Julie Merrill's courting Duke Wright now." "Good luck to her. He's still in love with his wife. And he's not quite as gullible as Jordan." "Jordan wasn't so gullible," he defended his former boss. "When a woman that pretty turns up the heat, most normal men will follow her anywhere."

Gostei muito da Libby, ela é uma heroína de personalidade que não se deixa humilhar pelo ogro do Jordan nem pela vadia da Julie. Ela tem os princípios dela e os segue independente das pressões e dos acontecimentos. Ela ganhou meu respeito e simpatia.
O Jordan não é muito inteligente não, se deixa seduzir pela aceitação na alta sociedade e tem um comportamento lamentável. É um típico ogro da autora.
Temos várias participações especiais dos personagens que amamos tanto... Cash, Carson, Harley, entre outros.
Eu já tinha lido em inglês e reli na versão em português lançada pela Harlequin BR, mas detectei alguns erros na tradução (nenhum personagem masculino não sendo vilão daria bofetada em uma mulher... mesmo ela merecendo muito)... mas mesmo assim estava quase perfeito. Li com o original em inglês e quando achava estranho ia lá conferir.
Aumentei uma estrela, ficando agora 4!
Recomendo!
