Evan: A Dramatic Western Romance by Diana Palmer
3.0
Good heavens. That was hysterically cheesy, but I did enjoy it in that guilty way I enjoy a box of Cheez-Its. I just had to exercise this Diana Palmer mania that got started up over at Amazon. I didn't feel right being the only one to suffer since I'd kinda suggested that it would be fun to have a Diana Palmer/Lynne Graham mish-mash. Basically the MOST pitiful downtrodden, orphan heroine EVER and the Greek tycoon turned rancher turned secret federal agent.
This one didn't really have a downtrodden heroine though. She actually had living parents and was fairly well off, financially. She also had no great past trauma that made her fear intimacy and dress frumpy.
Basic story - Evan is a 34-year-old "big" strapping cowboy. 6'4" broad shoulders, big frame, huge hands. All of this was emphasized over and over and over, along with his fear of being with a virgin due to one experience. Because really all this talk about his size was all eluding to the awesome manliness of his penis. I'm sure my brilliant analysis of the subtext is impressive ;)
Anna is 19 and virginal and has been chasing him for 2 years. Evan thinks she's too young for him, but mostly he's just scared he'll kill her with his giant wiener. No, I'm not kidding.
So, he pushes her away and publicly humiliates her (basic DP hero). So, she decides to move on and stop chasing him and marry someone else. That's when Evan gets all jealous and then REALLY goes psycho with the hot/cold treatment.
There was lots of chest hair fetish and cheeztastic lines. You'll all be glad to know that the H/h lived happily ever after and she was absolutely thrilled that he was such a "big man" ;)
ETA: The tiny town of Jacobsville,TX (~2K) has a fine art gallery and a new mall just opened in this installment.
