About this ebook
The life of a paid mercenary makes sense to Special Forces Officer Winslow Grange. The jungles of South America may make his former job as a ranch manager for his friend Jay Pendleton look like a cakewalk, but it's nothing that the former Green Beret can't handle.
A woman's heart, howeverthat's dangerous territory. Back in Texas, Grange's biggest problem was avoiding Peg Larson and all the complications being attracted to the daughter of his foreman would entail. Now Grange will need all his training to help General Emilio Machado gain control of the tiny South American nation of Barrera; when Peg arrives unannounced, she's a distraction he can't avoid. She's determined to show Grange she can be useful on and off the battlefield. Once she breaks through his armor, traversing the wilds of the Amazon will prove an easier task than defending himself against her winning charms .

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I like reading Diana Palmer but I was a little disappointed with this book. The first half just dragged on even though I liked the characters. There was more drama than romance which I didn't like. In my opinion Grange and Peg were the best thing about this book.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Do you like books that have cowboys, friendship, romance, moral values with a little South America coupe thrown in? If so you are going to love Courageous by Diana Palmer!Now I will totally admit that I am a fan of Ms. Palmer’s books. Whenever I am in a reading slump or just want something comfortable to read – I pick up one her books. While a lot of them are in a series, you never feel like you missed anything y not reading them in order. Also a lot of her books have some of the same plot to them. That doesn’t bother me because there are always something that is a surprise in her stories.Her characters are people I wish I knew in real life. In Courageous, Peg Larson and Winslow Grange have moral values that you just don’t come across too often. They have their own reasons for believing what they do and they follow through on it. They make mistakes and Peg is a bit naive but in the end you have read a lovely, enjoyable book.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Review:Courageous by Diana Palmer . 4 STARS Peg Larson is determined to catch her boss Grange. She is only 19 been kissed once but she knows what she wants. She tries flirting,suggestive talk,talking about collage. Peg is his cook and her father is his manager. Its a small ranch that Grange's boss gave him after he rescued his wife. Pegs talks all about her experience since she had sex at 14. Which got Grange kissing her hard and scared her. Grange realized that she had been lying to him. Grange asked her to the Cowboy ball dance. Peg felt like cinderella with all her borrowed clothes. Grange was leaving the country to lead a rebel army to put the displaced leader back on his Presidency. They only had a small army but they hoped they could use some of the people who were loyal to the President Emilio Machado. Arturo Sapara took over the goverment when the President Emilio Machado was out of the country making deals and trade agreements. Arturo prisoned and killed a lot of people who were protesting against him. Closed churchs, tv channels and all but a few newspepers with his people in charge. He is also addicted to drugs. Grange has had a rich journalist that has been chasing him for months she even followed him to South America to record the coupe. Grange shot her down really hard this time and told her that he had a innocent girl who works for him that he was going to marry when this was all over. Clarisse has been over taking her medicine and not thinking to clearly. She was angry that Grange had turned away from her. She was going to get Peg and leave her in the jungle here and than let Granger know but not where she was. Clarissa used the excused that Grange wanted to see her and she owed him a favor and Peg just left with her without telling her father where she was going and with whom she was with. Thier is a lot of drama, a lot of people coming together to deal with those who are taking advantage of others. I liked the story. Thier was a few love scenes at the end of the book. I was given this ebook in exchange of honest review from Netgalley. 06/19/2012 PUB Harlequin HarlequinHQN
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Another sweet, young, annoyingly wholesome heroine chasing after an older, wealthy, man of the world mercenary. Palmer's in a rut with her Jacobsville series, and this installment's pretty much a carbon copy of most of her recent titles. Borrow, don't buy.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Peg Larson is 19 yrs. old and determined to get her hooks in Winslow Grange. But Grange is her and her boss. Jason Pendlenton gave Grange a ranch and sent Peg's father Peg to help Grange out because Grange helped save Pendlenton wife. know Grange is going out of the country to help Emilio Machado to get his country back from Sapara who to over the country when Machado wentout of county for few weeks.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Good story, not great, including hero and heroine being part of a coup of a small country to help the previous president win his country back. I thought some of the dialogue was a little odd, kind of old-fashioned, i.e. they used words like "neat" and "keen". Maybe that's a trait of the author's writing--it didn't seem to fit with the characters in this story. I didn't check to see the original publication date, perhaps it is an older story and was more fitting when it was written. Refreshing that the hero was a seasoned soldier and years older than the 19-year-old heroine, but they were both virgins when they married each other.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Awesome. Loved it. However I thought the hero was a little weakly developed. He was not as conflicted as most DP hero's are.
