Tyler

Long, Tall Texans #3

by Diana Palmer

With only a quick glance at Nell Regan, a man might miss the beauty in the shy face, or the sexy figure hidden beneath the shapeless clothes. Nell had learned the hard way that she had nothing to offer a man. Her future was here, running her Arizona dude ranch…alone.

Then Tyler Jacobs arrived…a man who knew what it was like to be alone and alienated. He yearned to kiss away the pain he saw in Nell's deep brown eyes.

But Nell wasn't about to mistake kindness for love. Not again. Yet would denying her own desire destroy her one chance for happiness?

Man, I got a bad batch of Diana Palmer - or this wasn't set in Jacobsville and the magic just wasn't there. *has DP hangover*

This story is set on a dude ranch in Arizona. The plain Jane heroine is due to inherit the ranch when she turns 25 in the next year. Until then her uncle makes the decisions, while she is part of the day-to-day operations. The hero is Shelby's (the heroine from Justin) brother. The siblings lost everything in Jacobsville after their father died. The sister entered a MoC with Justin and Tyler took a job as the foreman of this ranch in Arizona.

Heroine had a crush on him from the beginning and was sweet and kind. Hero lapped it up. That all changed with the busybody housekeeper/cook warned the hero off. Heroine overheard the hero say that he wasn't interested in love-struck tomboys and she was devastated.

Hero is missing the heroine's adoration when the story opens. But he enjoys a light flirtation with the heroine's widowed sister-in-law. (OW) Heroine is jealous and is tired of being the OW's doormat, plus she is still resentful of an incident that occurred when she was 15. She had a crush on a ranch hand who in turn had a crush on the sister-in-law. The ranch hand encouraged the h's crush to get closer to the sister-in-law. When the sister in law turned him down, the drunken ranch hand tried to rape the heroine in her bed. Luckily, she was rescued by her sister in law. She hasn't let a man touch her in 9 years.

The cook and the sister in law both tell the heroine she should be over the attempted rape at 15. Nothing happened and it was no big deal.

!!!!!!!!!!!!

So besides feeling plain and ugly, the heroine has hangups. The hero, wanting his adoring fan back, decides to take on the role of "virgin whisperer" and tempt the heroine out of her shell.

He has a bout of bronchitis, which means the heroine has to dress him so she can take him to the doctor. She has never seen a naked man before and - omg - DP goes on for pages as the trembling, blushing heroine gets him dressed. I get it - romances can be deep dives into emotion - but I could have dressed ten toddlers in snowsuits *and* ice skates faster than it took to dress the semi-sentient hero.

Once recovered (antibiotics and not sponging as the cure, alas) the hero gets to second base with the heroine and they spends *pages* there as the H fights for control and the heroine realizes she has sensitive nipples. (Although the term nipple is never used)

Soon after the second base incident the hero turns on the heroine. Gone is the virgin whisperer, now he's the slut-shamer. Why?

Because the hero has hired a new ranch hand. Can you guess who?

Yes, Rapey Mc Rapeface. The hero hires him and won't listen to the heroine's objections when she tries to explain what happened when she was 15. Hero thinks the heroine is being silly for wanting to fire the OM, since nothing happened - he didn't succeed in raping her.

!!!!!!!!!!!

So the heroine sucks it up. The ranch hand (soon to be OM) apologizes to the heroine and says he's a changed man. Heroine realizes she overreacted.

!!!!!!!!!!!

It may seem odd that I'm calling the would-be-rapist of a teenager the OM but he does take on that role late in this story. I'll explain. *deep breath*

The OM-rapist is still holding a candle for the sister in law.
The heroine thinks the sister in law is in love with the hero.
Sis in law is in love with the OM.
The hero thinks the heroine is in love with the OM.

Got that? It's all the confusion for the last third of the book.

But I can assure you that it's a square dance ending with everyone changing partners for an HEA.

The rape apologist slant knocked off a star and that dissatisfaction made me think about the hero. (Pro-tip: Never think about these blow-hot, blow-cold heroes in a DP story - just roll with it.)

I think the author missed an opportunity for angst and deeper characterization in this story. This hero was stripped of his status, his inheritance and even his horse. Why couldn't that have been his conflict with the heroine, rather than his jealousy of her would-be rapist? His horse was sold - it could have been bought by the dude ranch - or one of the guests might have recognized him and sneered at his lowly status. But that was all brushed under the rug so that the inequality wouldn't show when the hero walks right into acquiring a dude ranch along with his new bride.

Diana Palmer Checklist:
Hairy chest: it's a pelt!
Breast description: large. Peach and mauve. (LOL)
Cigarettes: check
Alcohol: none
Town descriptions: none, alas. There's flora and fauna of Arizona, though.
LOL detail: Shelby and Justin visit Tyler at the ranch. Shelby tells the heroine that her husband rented a car at the airport. They show up in a *limo* since that's how these long, tall Texans roll. No Ford Escorts for them.

Our heroine is ugly and unattractive and also suffered a trauma that profoundly affected her.
Her sister-in-law who is a former model and very beautiful, she is a bitch that even being married went flirting with a cowboy and he fell in love with her.
Our young innocent heroine had a crush on this cowboy and he ended up sexually assaulting her. She was not raped by him because he was interrupted. Since he can not have her sister-in-law he tried to have sex with our heroine. This episode left her very traumatized and afraid of men.
Margie is a bitch who abuses the good nature of our heroine. She sold her part at the ranch, but still uses the facilities and uses Nell as a nanny and housekeeper. And even when she was married she was flirting with other men, I think she did not love her husband. She only liked the things his money bought. She seemed shallow and selfish.
Our hero comes from a rich and traditional family but has lost everything. He is accustomed to beautiful socialites and women interested in his money. He is touched by the innocence and strength of our heroine, but like every hero of the author he is very rude and cruel to her. He says horrible things to her and they become cold with each other.
Adding to all this we have the jealousy our heroine feels about her beautiful sister-in-law and her insecurity and low self-esteem.
And our hero is sending mixed signals to her, which does not help at all. The poor woman is very upset and insecure.

Of course, there was always the woman who could hit a man hard before he knew it. A woman like Nell Regan, with her unexpected vulnerabilities and compassion…

She deliberately downplayed the few attractions she had, as if she was determined not to do anything that would catch a man’s eye.

“Marguerite needs a husband.” He smiled at the thought of Marguerite.

She was, in fact, all the things Nell wasn’t. “But a dish like Margie shouldn’t have much trouble finding one.”

She and Nell got along fairly well, as long as neither of them looked back nine years. It had been Marguerite who’d helped put the scars on Nell’s young emotions. Nell had never been able to forget what had happened.

After her husband had died, Margie had taken her share of the ranch in cash and moved to the city.

“That’s why you’re dressed to the teeth and finding excuses to suffer the heat at the ranch. Because you miss Ted so much, and you want to console yourself with my hired help.”

"I haven’t done anything except refuse to be your doormat.” Nell finished her potatoes. “I don’t remember inviting you here,” she replied coolly. “Don’t expect me to entertain you or baby-sit for you.”

“I sure as hell don’t want a lovesick tomboy grabbing me by the boots every time I walk by. I don’t like being chased, even by attractive women. And Nell is a sweet child, but even a blind man couldn’t accuse her of being beautiful.”

It had been the first time in years that she’d made an effort to look like a woman. It would be the last, too, she vowed. She rolled over and closed her eyes. Minutes later, she was asleep.

She had the most beautiful, sensual eyes he’d ever seen.

“Open your mouth a little,” he whispered as his teeth closed gently on her lower lip.

he added venomously. “I don’t want another man’s castoff.”

“Most men get poetic when they’ve been without a woman for a few months,” he said with blunt insolence. “But you take things to heart, don’t you, Nell?”

“Sorry, honey, but my taste doesn’t run to tomboys,” he said mockingly.

“As for your offer, I don’t want to dance with you, now or ever. And you might as well throw that—” he indicated her dress “—in the trash if you bought it to catch my eye. I’m not interested in you.”

“He felt sorry for you!” Tyler burst out without choosing his words. “Doesn’t everybody?”

Que manera de perder el tiempo, no pueden sentarse y conversar honestamente. Supongo que Tyler la malogro con sus precipitadas e hirientes palabras y bueno despues de eso ninguna mujer que se respete olvidará fácilmente lo que se ha dicho de ella rápidamente...

[Joanna · Rating 3 out of 5]

Hmm, me estaba gustando más que los anteriores dos pero al final no he sabido cómo definirlo. Una vez más, un libro lleno de malentendidos pero al menos con unos personajes inteligentes para solucionarlo rápidamente y no aplazarlo por tanto tiempo.

Al menos aquí la pareja no sufre de manera tan tóxica, Tyler es celoso y todo pero al menos no es taaaan posesivo como los hermanos Ballenger. Debo admitir que Calhoun raya en lo excesivo y Justin le va pisando los talones, aunque a este último lo comprendo más.

Me gustó mucho ver el cameo de Justin y Shelby, me pone muy feliz leerlos tan enamorados🥰 .

Sin duda alguna Nell Regan tenía serios problemas de autoestima y me alegro que lo solucionara, tardó pero lo logró. Tyler Jacobs será alguien perfecto para ella, los dos se complementan muy bien y como dice Tyler, la confianza lo es todo en una relación y gracias a la superación del personaje de Nell, ellos cuentan con eso y con mucho amor.


"—Voy a cuidar de ti el resto de mi vida. No tengo mucho que darte, solo mi corazón, pero...

Nell lo calló poniendo el dedo índice en sus labios.

—No quiero nada más en el mundo. A cambio yo te daré el mío."

This one ended up being a did not finish for me. It was just too ridiculous or maybe I had had enough of women who get to their 20s and know NOTHING about even kissing a man. Really? I know it was written in the 80s but, come on. Did a woman like Nell really exist in the 80s? It was something I just couldn't get past so I didn't really feel the relationship between Tyler and Nell. I'm this close to calling it quits with this series. If they are all like this, it could get a little tiring.

I like Tyler. The first three Long Tall Texans run on the same theme. Herione afraid of sex and male misunderstands. I thought this was the best of the three.

2.5 stars

The dialogue is a bit awkward, but the story was entertaining enough with two wildly dramatic characters.

[Book Gremlin Reads · Rating 3 out of 5]

May have slight spoilers.

In author Diana Palmer’s third Long, Tall Texans novel, Tyler we get Nell Regan and Tyler Jacobs story.

Tyler has recently lost everything, his wealth, farm and more because of his father’s debts. Now working a new job the boss sends him to be the new foreman of the Double R dude ranch in Arizona. He has just gotten back after taking a day off to go back to Jacobsville and attends his sister Shelly’s wedding to Justin Ballenger.

Tyler has had a hard time of it lately and he was warmed boy the boss lady Nell’s attention and sweat gestures. The only thing was that he thought she was just a child really and when he finds out that she is actually a twenty-four year old woman he is shocked and not at all ready for a relationship.

Nell was very drawn to Tyler from the start but did not realize that she had made her attraction to him so obvious by following him around and doing nice things for him.

When Nell was younger she went though a traumatic experience that left her afraid of men, but even though she does not trust Tyler completely she can not help but feel more for him than she has any man.

The only problem with this is of course Nell’s own insecurities (which seem to be many) and beautiful sister-in-law who has been coming to stay the weekends, more and more.

I liked this book overall but I have to say that overall I thought Nell was a little too insecure if that makes sense. I understand she went though something bad, and she is insecure though the whole book—but then at the end she just suddenly ‘gets’ it and the wedding bells are ringing in the future.

This just did not seem believable to me, even if she did come to the conclusion and understand that Tyler did like her and not her sister or he wouldn’t have been trying to have a relationship with her—I still think it would have taken her more time to actually ‘get’ it and then go talk to Tyler. It just happened to fast to me.

But I did like it and I was happy that after two books we finally got Tyler’s story. We actually met him in book one of this series so, it was kind—if not long, a impatient wait because we also get him a little in the second book to.

I would recommend this novel to anyone looking for a good contemporary western romance.

[Caitlin Wyatt · Rating 5 out of 5]

I really liked this one.. I loved the change of location from Jacobsville to Arizona. It made me think happily of Linda Lael Miller who writes about Arizona a lot. I liked Tyler when he was in both Calhoun & Justin's books. It was nice to learn more about him. He turned out to be backward, caring, misguided, & stubborn. He goes out to Arizona to work on a dude ranch. If you have even read on western romance about a legit cowboy rancher you know that he was seriously desperate for a job. Dude ranches are a joke to real ranchers.. Still the dude ranch does posses a real working ranch.. All of it grows on Tyler even the scared, man weary owner Nell. Nell was accosted by a drunken cowboy once & notoriously timid on top of it.. Not to mention she has been shown no real love in her life. Many misunderstandings crop up, and they each are their own worst enemy.. I liked this one like I said.

[Griffinyarn · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not a standout Diana Palmer novel. The "conflict" basically consisted of the heroine's insecurities compounded by her overhearing some thoughtless comments made by the hero. It seems like most of Diana Palmer's heroes make derogatory comments about the heroine to disguise their true feelings. Which I guess is the adult equivalent of pulling pigtails. An okay, if forgettable, read.

Recommended for Diana Palmer fans.

Hmm, kind of dumb.
(The stupid protagonist with the complexity of "I'm fat, I'm not cool, I'm a dumb one virgin and he will never love someone like me)
Nellie the woman who who looks like a silly teenager but is actually an idiotic adult.

Una estrella.
En los libros anteriores la misoginia de Palmer no me molestaba tanto, de hecho me hacían reír algunas escenas tontas sin sentido me paso lo contrario al leer la historia de Tyler.

Me sorprendí primero porque Tyler mantuvo algo de su personalidad mostrada en los dos primeros libros de esta serie, durante la historia hizo el típico palmerismo de "te trato mal para ocultar mis sentimientos" y ya para los últimos capítulos entendía porque era tan terco con Nell al esconder lo que sentía por ella, tengo que admitir que lo soporte hasta el final.

Nell tenía potencial como personaje femenino, sus problemas tenían sentido con lo que nos cuenta Diana de su pasado. A los 15, como toda adolescente a esa edad, se "enamoro" de Darren un empleado del rancho quien estaba enamorado de la cuñada de Nell, la esposa de su hermano mayor Margie. La edad de Darren deja que desear, era un tipo de 22 coqueteando con una chica de 15 y a nadie le pareció extraño obvio.

El problema es que Darren se emborracha, va al dormitorio de Nell y estuvo a punto de violarla pero ella grito tanto que Bella y Margie la salvan.

Aquí es cuando la misoginia de Palmer me enojo y estuve a punto de lanzar mi tablet por la ventana, Bella, el ama de lalves, y Margie, le dicen a Nell que exagera su experiencia, que lo vivido no fue tan malo, que ella reacciono mal porque era muy joven e inocente, y que Darren solo le hizo daño porque ella lo quería y el no.

Se que este libro se publico en 1988, se que los tiempos eran diferentes y que las sociedades eran mucho más machistas de las actuales, pero disculpen mi vocabulario, ¿que mierda es esto?

Ya para este punto estaba con la vena latente en la garganta, esperando algo mejor de Diana pero Tyler contrata a Darren otra vez, se pone celoso y Diana no tiene la mejor idea de hacer que Nell perdone a Darren porque ella había incitado a Darren a casi violarla.

En este punto, Nell siente que la cosa no fue para tanto, Darren había quedado perdonado y le cuenta a Tyler lo que paso. Yo esperaría que Tyler reaccionara con furia por la chica de 15 años que tuvo que vivir tal "susto", fuera enfrentar a Darren por asalta cunas pero no. No pasa nada, es como si a nadie en este libro le importe que un tipo de 22 haya casi violado a una chica de 15 años y que esto haya hecho que Nell tuviera baja autoestima.

Para los capítulos finales todo se pone tedioso, Tyler se niega a decirle a Nell lo que siente porque quiere que ella lo haga, Margie la cuñada del año decide casarse con Darren y le pide a Nell que sea dama de honor, Nell va en busca de Tyler y tengo que admitir que los diálogos en esta parte de la historia esperaba otro tipo de diálogos.

Nell le dice a Tyler " si te fueras a casar con Margie, nunca me habrías tocado ni siquiera por lastima"

A mi me haría más sentido que Nell dijera "deje que mis inseguridades se interpusieran en lo que estaba frente a mis ojos" mira a Tyler con lastima, "lo siento mucho, te hice pasar un mal rato ¿no?"

Y Tyler podría disculparse por ser un cabezotas, no decirle que la quería bla bla bla

El abusador vivirá con Nell porque trabaja allí y quiere darle una buena vida a Margie.

De verdad que estoy sorprendida de que Diana y el editor de este libro pensaran que perdonar a Darren era una excelente idea en vez de crear un nuevo personaje masculino que se enamorara de Margie y le causará celos a Tyler.

A pesar de todos mis enojos con esta historia y esta vieja machista, me entretuve jaja

Voy por el siguiente libro en esta serie.

What The Hell?

Book 3 into my DP LTT quest and we Have Tyler the brother of the h from book 2.

He’s got a job working for her uncle and he’s been sent to Arizona to help her run her dude ranch.

The poor h she has been abused by a man who fancied her SIL as a teen and the H is the first man she’s looked at since then. He then pees all over her calls when he calls her a frumpy tomboy he is really awful throughout the book.

Let’s go back to the abuse for a second. The h idolised a ranch hand they had who had the hots for her married SIL. He lead her on (bearing in mind she was a teenager) and when he got drunk one night he entered her bedroom and tried to force himself on her. She was NOT down for that. He then leaves in shame and apparently everyone is supportive of the h and look out for her understanding her trauma.

Now the h is on The scene the story seems to change. The h in fact brought it on herself because of her crush and has blown what he did out of all proportion! OMG 🤬🤬🤬

To add insult to injury the H has just rehired the guy back on and when the h asks him to get rid of him he says no. He does ask for a reason why but these 2 are not getting on at that moment so she is disinclined to explain her very personal trauma to him.

Meanwhile h has been nothing but kind to H she knows he’s had a crap time and lost all his own money tried to make him feel welcome looked after him when he was ill and he has the nerve to complain when she backs off when she hear him being awful about her.

The h then ends up friends with the OM despite him being the abuser because she is forced into his company. He is genuinely sorry but still this could have gone much worse if he hadn’t been stopped to be honest he has a nerve staying on he should have left as soon as he realised h was still there.

Meanwhile SIL turns up when she wants which I don’t get at all. When h’s brother died her share was bought out so why does she have the right to come and go and sponge off h as she pleases? Poor h has to have ranch in trust till she is 25 as well. Obviously we have misunderstanding traumas where H thinks she’s into OM and she thinks H is into SIL but again we have a H who refuses to say I Love You first which creates all kinds of angst. He is still insulting her in last couple of chapters and even throws her in the horse trough but they get there in the end.

She can even have the ranch trust broken as a wedding present because she’s got a MAN grrrrr

This H is lucky he got his h he proper messed her around because he wouldn’t admit he fell in love - with her land he’s a goldigger!

More chest hair for boob whispering
More chainsmoking and littering

Tyler and Nell

It was ok. I liked that there was both hero and heroines perspective. Their connection was believable. I liked that heroine went from very insecure to being able to demand things from people and not be a pushover. Hero wasn't as mean as other Diana Palmer heroes.

Heroine's insecurities got really old halfway through the book but she had them until the end. I didn't like how much attention hero paid to the other woman (heroine's sister in law), but at least it was pretty clear he wasn't into her.

Hero did say some pretty horrible things to heroine that validated her having insecurities, then he wanted her to come after him and pursue him. I get it to some extent, but after saying he doesn't want a tomboy chasing after him and she should throw away her pretty new dress because no guy would want her (specifically he didn't want her). He did try to apologize the next day and did apologize better later when she would actually listen to him. I just feel after everything he said he should have went all out pursuit and built up her confidence.

I don't understand why everyone treats what happened to heroine as a teen as not a big deal. She was 15 and a 22 year old man got into her bed and she woke up to him trying to have sex with her (rape). She constantly blames herself and says she overreacted. He's literally responsible for her insecurities and her absolute fear of men. Then hero hired him not knowing what happened and refused to fire him when heroine told him too. After hero does find out what happened it was not at all treated as a big deal and he continued to be jealous of him. In the end that guy gets engaged to the sister in law and will live on the ranch with them and everyone is friends. So weird. Np.

in the texas boys series he introduces us to Tyler the rich boy who lost everything because of his father, but makes his way by becoming a foreman of a ranch that is dedicated to cowboy tourism, this is managed by a particular girl is zero feminine and She is very fearful of men since something happened to her in the past that left her a little resentful, but the approach with Tyler makes her see that not all are the same and whoever did not believe in being able to fall in love does so with the girl who thought less . personal: these books sometimes deal with machisimo a lot and with women who are a bit socia, low self-esteem and who need a man to get ahead, although later they show that they are strong, of course I want to think that it is because they are because of history and years, because now at this time I read something like that and stop reading

Después de tener el rancho mas prospero en toda la region, por las malas gestiones de su padre Tyler ahora se tiene que ir de su lugar dejando atrás a su hermana para trabajar en las tierras de otra persona.

Allí es feliz no le duele a ver perdido las cosas porque siempre a trabajado en un rancho que no es tarea fácil, pero cuidar el rancho como capataz de alguien y además cuidar a los turistas que pasan allí semanas enteras es una nueva experiencia.

Nell, es la administradora del rancho del tío Ted y aunque no lo lleva muy bien la llegada del capataz de su tío ayuda mucho al negocio. Lo que menos espera es sentir cosas por Tyler y mas como ella le teme a los hombres.

Nell, you could have picked a better man.

But hey, she seems to be set on Tyler, sooo...

Some parts are cringey and they triggered something in me.

So Nell was about to be raped. And what the women around her did? Told her she should get over it, that it was blown out of proportion. (HELLO!!!)

Tyler said some disparaging things about her appearance. Oh, so he felt sorry and asked for forgiveness, but still!

Tyler is hot and cold. If I were Nell, I'd rather buy dozens of Thermoses. They're more reliable.

[Bea Tea · Rating 4 out of 5]

I really liked Tyler, he was a super sweet old fashioned guy. But this h was something else. I get insecurity and low self esteem but she takes it into the stratosphere. A leaf could blow gently past our hero and she would watch it go while forlornly thinking 'That leaf is so lovely and small, Tyler must love that leaf. He and that leaf belong together' before withdrawing from the scene with an utterly broken heart. Bitch, come on, get a clue.
