About this audiobook
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, however—that’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: 2 out of 5 stars2/5A networking friend who used to collect books to mail to the troops gave me this book in a box of books she couldn't use. I wasn't familiar with the author and decided to give her a try. I gave it my requisite 3 chapters but DNF.I will admit that I haven't read the first two books in this series, and perhaps if I had, I wouldn't have felt so lost at the beginning of the book as to who was who and what was going on. I suppose there is a time in most girls's life where they want to attract the attention of a man and go about it in ways that are overt and somewhat embarrassing to see/read about. (Turning every discussion to the topic of sex for example, as is done here.) It got old quickly for me.
- 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: 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: 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: 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.
