Rate this book
New York Times bestselling author Diana Palmer heads back to Jacobsville for two classic tales of Long, Tall Texan love

Long, Tall Texans: Leo (previously published as Lionhearted )

The citizens of Jacobsville whisper about pretty Janie Brewster and her hopeless crush on handsome Leo Hart. With her latest transformation—into a courageous cowgirl—Janie dazzles her cowboy crush. This time, the townspeople notice hot-blooded hunger gleaming in Leo’s eyes when he gazes at Janie. Is the last Hart bachelor on the verge of taking a bride at long last?

Long, Tall Texans: Jordan (originally published as Cattleman’s Pride )

Strong seductive and set in his ways, Jordan Powell clashes with his innocent, yet beautiful, neighbor Libby Collins. When Jordan makes it his personal crusade to help Libby hold on to her beloved homestead, it’s just a matter of time before sparks fly. But a cattleman’s pride is a force to be reckoned with. Can Libby accomplish what no woman has before and lasso Jordan’s heart—forever?

Susan Eloise Spaeth was born on 11 December 1946 in Cuthbert, Georgia, USA. She was the eldest daughter of Maggie Eloise Cliatt, a nurse and also journalist, and William Olin Spaeth, a college professor. Her mother was part of the women's liberation movement many years before it became fashionable. Her best friends are her mother and her sister, Dannis Spaeth (Cole), who now has two daughters, Amanda Belle Hofstetter and Maggie and lives in Utah. Susan grew up reading Zane Grey and fell in love with cowboys. Susan is a former newspaper reporter, with sixteen years experience on both daily and weekly newspapers. Since 1972, she has been married to James Kyle and have since settled down in Cornelia, Georgia, where she started to write romance novels. Susan and her husband have one son, Blayne Edward, born in 1980.

She began selling romances in 1979 as Diana Palmer. She also used the pseudonyms Diana Blayne and Katy Currie, and her married name: Susan Kyle. Now, she has over 40 million copies of her books in print, which have been translated and published around the world. She is listed in numerous publications, including Contemporary Authors by Gale Research, Inc., Twentieth Century Romance and Historical Writers by St. James Press, The Writers Directory by St. James Press, the International Who's Who of Authors and Writers by Meirose Press, Ltd., and Love's Leading Ladies by Kathryn Falk. Her awards include seven Waldenbooks national sales awards, four B. Dalton national sales awards, two Bookrak national sales awards, a Lifetime Achievement Award for series storytelling from Romantic Times, several Affaire de Coeur awards, and two regional RWA awards.

Inspired by her husband, who quit a blue-collar manufacturing job to return to school and get his diploma in computer programming, Susan herself went back to college as a day student at the age of 45. In 1995, she graduated summa cum laude from Piedmont College, Demorest, GA, with a major in history and a double minor in archaeology and Spanish. She was named to two honor societies (the Torch Club and Alpha Chi), and was named to the National Dean's List. In addition to her writing projects, she is currently working on her master's degree in history at California State University. She hopes to specialize in Native American studies. She is a member of the Native American Rights Fund, the American Museum of Natural History, the National Cattlemen's Association, the Archaeological Institute of Amenca, the Planetary Society, The Georgia Conservancy, the Georgia Sheriff's Association, and numerous conservation and charitable organizations. Her hobbies include gardening, archaeology, anthropology, iguanas, astronomy and music.

In 1998, her husband retired from his own computer business and now pursues skeet shooting medals in local, state, national and international competition. They love riding around and looking at the countryside, watching sci-fi on TV and at the movies, just talking and eating out.

Leo left a cliff hanger of sorts. The bad guy, Clark, threatened our hero and heroine from the custody of the law. Then he escapes from the law. End of book??! So disappointed in Ms. Palmer's end to this story. Does Clark come back to reek his vengeance on Leo and Janie? The story ends leaving readers hanging.

Long, Tall Texans: Leo & Jordon

I like stories that have people that work through their problems and find love. This book had the right amount of love and the right amount of spice.
