Product Description
Rancher Jared Cameron was a mystery to everyone in Jacobsville, Texas…and he liked it that way. Only sweet-natured bookseller Sara dared to intrude on his privacy—informing the loner that a book on ogres might be more appropriate for a man of his qualities. Charmed by her audaciousness, Jared seduced the town's plain Jane. But their burgeoning relationship soon thrust Sara into Jared's hidden world of intrigue.

Now the iron cowboy had to steel himself for the fight of his life…and his heart.

Love Diana Palmer but disappointed.... February 27, 2008
9 out of 10 found this review helpful

I have been a Diana Palmer fan for well over 15 years and am always excited when her books are released. However, her most recent work has become so formulaic and predictable. Every hero has some horrible tragedy in his past, every heroine seems to be between 18-20 years old with a horrible tragedy in her past and has a medical condition or injury that lands them in the hospital and, subsequently staying with the hero while recovering. I realize there are many people that overcome tragedy to lead a wonderful full life, and Diana seems to want to convey this; but it's frustrating to see the same formula being used with new characters. This story was nearly unrealistic--they despise each other one moment and are agreeing to be "family" the next??

I have ready nearly all of Diana Palmer's books and truly enjoy her work. There are many that I read over and over again. So, as a diehard Diana Palmer fan, I can honestly say she is capable of a much better body of work than her most recent releases indicate.

I'd give it 1.5 if I could March 1, 2008

Diana Palmer's back stories for her heroines are getting more ridiculous with every book. This one's grandfather was a college professor who taught History (with emphasis on WWII North Africa) at a prestigious institution with lots of foreign exchange students-Jacobsville Community College!! HA!!
Sara is young, virginal,poor, and blonde. Jared is older, "rugged", rich, and irascible.
Brain damage, ruptured appendices, Arab kidnapper/terrorists abound! Don't waste your money on this, get it from a swap shelf. I got mine form eHarlequin, and I'm writing it off as the thing that came for my $4 buyer discount.

I was so excited to read Diana Palmer's "Iron Cowboy" and so I ordered it from Amazon. I love her books. I should have listened to the reviews and not spent the money! This book started out good and then continued to go down hill from there. I needed to write a review to warn any readers who like Diana Palmer....do not buy this book!!! It is really bad.
The characters were silly, the story was boring and there was very little "heat" with Jared and Sara. The romance part of the story was barely there.
Don't waste your money or time on this one.

I realize this series was started 20 years ago when times where a little different, but really the author needs to step back and look at the series and say is there any part of this book that is believable anymore? The Heroine Sara is a bookseller in Jacobsville, TX, she's also a 19 year old virgin(also hard to believe), never been kissed, and missionary parents killed tragically in Africa. Jared is our hero he's of course older, loaded, and experienced. He's extremely rude and talks down to Sara the first time they meet and continues to do so throughout the book, but for some reason Sara falls for him. He's of course aloof throughout until the end where he declares his love and they live happily everafter. I struggled to finish the book because I didn't like Jared the plot was disjointed and rambling and there was no chemistry at all one moment he's talking bad to her the next their having sex and she's crying because she doesn't know whats going on, yeah...right. The only good point in this book was Tony the Dancer.

I would go over the plot, but it is so similar to her other books that you can read her last 10 titles and get the idea. Usually I give Ms. Palmer the benefit of the doubt and give her about three stars because the books are mildly entertaining, but she isn't re-inventing the wheel. This book is different because the "hero" rapes the "heroine." If you are a reader of romance you see a lot of questionable love scenes, but I think this one crossed the line. I didn't want the characters to end up together. He was too old for her and treated her terribly. Diana Palmer needs to soften up her heroes, age up her heroines and find new plot devices.
