Fiction. Romance. Western. HTML:

Risking his neck is all in a day's work...

Tough and relentless, Cord Romero lives for the adrenaline rush that comes with being a mercenary for hire. But this time the job is personal. Having barely survived a murder attempt from an elusive enemy, Cord is determined to neutralize his foe--the head of a multinational corporation that fronts a child labor ring. In order to get closer to his target, Cord joins forces with the Lassiter Detective Agency, where he's reunited with his childhood friend Maggie Barton. Maggie is no longer the impressionable young woman he once knew. She is now strong, independent and in charge of her own life--and, professionally, Cord's equal. She has one vulnerability: a tragic secret from her past that threatens her relationship with Cord...and sets her up as a pawn for his deadly enemy.

Cord cannot afford to be distracted during the most important case of his life. But Maggie plays an indispensable part in unraveling the links to his enemy's crimes. Forced to trust each other for their very survival, Cord and Maggie embark on a lethal game of cat and mouse that can leave only one winner standing.

Desperado was my first taste of disappointment from Diana Palmer and sadly it was only the second book by her that I had ever read. While the storyline and character's are exactly what I've come to expect from this author, I found a large distaste for the hero, Cord Romero, and his antics towards the heroine, Maggie Barton.

While used to the gruff alpha-male slanted twist on all her heroes, this particular one was, to my mind, just plain abusive. He seemed to enjoy hurting the heroine emotionally more than anything else and was, many times, cruel to the point that I was wondering if Maggie should get therapy for wanting to be in an abusive relationship with this man. The line between being a masculine alpha male and being an abusive self-centered jerk were blurred here and I found myself unsatisfied with the ending despite it being a "happy" one. ( )
