I have a confession to make. I am a glutton for happy endings, cowboys, ranchers and love stories and Diana Palmer never disappoints. WYOMING TRUE is the latest book read and reviewed by this prolific author.
Needless to say you have to suspend disbelief since all Diana Palmer characters and their situations are unrealistic but then again that’s what fantasies are all about. Happy ending in spite of all the roadblocks. And WYOMING TRUE is another fun read done in Diana Palmer fashion.
The lead characters are immensely wealthy and therefore capable of stuff the rest of us can only imagine. Their wealth seems to know no bounds and they use it to their advantage. Private plane rides to fantastic restaurants is just normal to them. So after you get used to that it is back to remembering that WYOMING TRUE is about two lovely people whose lives have left them with numerous scars. Both physical and emotional. Each wary about love and trust. But they are meant for each other – if only they can get outside of their own heads.
Jake McGuire is ex-military with the scars to prove it. But mostly it is his family life that has left him with issues. Ida Merridan had a happy childhood but made errors in judgment when trying to find love. The last of those errors had left her with life altering issues. Ida is a mess. Jake is a master of control. The two of them almost make a complete person. Right up Diana Palmer’s alley.
Ida has two personalities – the one she flaunts in public and a totally opposite one in private. Her public persona is to deflect personal attention by men. Ida is excessively fearful of men and yet in the company of Jake she doesn’t quake with fear. She knows that Jake dislikes her because of her reputation. But somehow he has been caring and gentle. A dichotomy that Ida isn’t comfortable and therefore one she doesn’t trust.
Jake is becoming aware of the dual personality of Ida. The issue is which one is the true Ida. The flirty Ida is the one Jake detests and doesn’t trust. The private almost shy Ida is winning his heart.
WYOMING TRUE is book ten in the Wyoming Men series that absolutely can be read out of order.

Wyoming True is like a flashback to a Harlequin romance I used to read thirty five years ago. Ida and Jake despise one another, but that doesn't stop them from building a relationship. Both are damaged, but I really never really warmed up,to him. He had an archaic view of men being able to play the field but women could not. He also kept mooning over Mina to the point of exsperation. I did enjoy this book because it ended the way it' should have. I I'd hate to read about the animals, that bothered me.

I am a huge Diana Palmer fan. I could not get into this book. I found no plot and it was very hard to follow the characters and story.

I have been reading Diana Palmer's books for many years and I never get tired of them and Wyoming True is no exception. Wyoming True is a beautiful story and Jake and Ida are wonderful characters. Ida has had a tough life and she has made choices that can affect her having a relationship with Jake, but somehow the chemistry between them is too strong to deny and once the truth is out the result is a beautiful story of love that as usual with all Diana Palmer's books it really touched my heart. It made me want to cry at times and it made me cheer both Jake and Ida on. Beautiful characters and story, I hope that Diana Palmer keeps writing for many more years to come!

I am a Diana Palmer fan, but this one was good though not great. I feel that the premise was misleading since Ida’s reputation was by her own design. She wanted people to think badly of her because she was using it as a shield. The book was interesting, but I am not sure I ever felt that Jake and Ida were meant to be together. They got there and they would probably be happy, but it was odd. Odder still was that Ida was only 26 years old, but she was written like a woman in who was much older. I believe this was done to convey what a hard life she has been dealt, but it just seemed off.
I was also a little put off by the characters constantly jetting off. I mean even if they are rich would they really be just hopping in a plane at a moment’s notice to get seafood for dinner. This did nothing for me. I understand that they are both rich, but I felt the characters could have been fleshed out more. These are really minor irritations with the story overall. I am sure that people will still greatly enjoy the story. There is the excitement of people from their past, misunderstandings, and a variety of other things that moved the story along.
