J.B. Hammock played by his own rules, and rule number one was never settle down. He treated his women well, but with a no-strings detachment they all accepted. But sweet Tellie Maddox was always trying to take care of him and always caring about him. It was enough to make a confirmed bachelor take drastic measures. Then Tellie lost part of her memory. She believed she was J.B.'s faithful sidekick. Even he couldn't be so heartless as to push Tellie aside, so he played the role of friend -- until friendship turned to something else; something so much deeper than a heartbreaker like J.B. ever intended -- he was hooked. Then Tellie's memory returned.... This is one of my favorite Diana Palmer books. Like many of her others, I didn't want to put it down! The story really draws you in and keeps you hooked with every turn of the page. It was definitely a great read -- you won't be disappointed. :)
Good romance

Good book. Read in one rainy afternoon. I have read about 15 DP books, and most of the I couldn't stop reading. This one is no different. 4 stars b/c I do agree with some of the other comments that the story could be hard to follow or that there just isn't as much drama/passion to really draw you into the book. Still recommend reading it. You won't be disappointed.
Palmer delivers again!!

I read all the negative reviews about this book and I ordered it anyway. I have NEVER EVER read a Palmer book I didnt like or could put down. And this is the same.. I couldnt put it down. Although I can understand why some couldnt keep up, or rather didnt like the charectors. I LOVED THEM. J.B has conflicting emotions and people think Tellie is getting walked on... They are just trying so hard to fight what they feel. I do NOT see Tellie as wishy washy. I see her standing by what she says, even if a weak moment or two does arise. Who doesnt have them? I like the idea of introducing other books, or charectors that lead to books. Grange is just... lol Grange. If there were a Jacobsville. I would want to live there. What an amazing group of people, here is a town that has horrible things happen to actually morally good people. D. Palmer does it again. This is a keeper. If you never read her, you should.
