I have a confession to make. I am a glutton for happy endings, cowboys, ranchers, and love stories and Diana Palmer never disappoints. WYOMING TRUE is the latest book I read and reviewed by this prolific author.

Jake McGuire is ex-military with the scars to prove it. But mostly it is his family life that has left him with issues. Ida Merridan had a happy childhood but made errors in judgment when trying to find love. The last of those errors had left her with life-altering issues. Ida is a mess. Jake is a master of control. The two of them almost make a complete person. Right up Diana Palmer’s alley.

Ida has two personalities--the one she flaunts in public and a totally opposite one in private. Her public persona is to deflect personal attention by men. Ida is excessively fearful of men and yet in the company of Jake, she doesn’t quake with fear. She knows that Jake dislikes her because of her reputation. But somehow he has been caring and gentle. A dichotomy that Ida isn’t comfortable with and therefore, one she doesn’t trust.

Jake is becoming aware of the dual personality of Ida. The issue is which one is the true Ida. The flirty Ida is the one Jake detests and doesn’t trust. The private and almost shy Ida is winning his heart.

Needless to say, while reading WYOMING TRUE, you have to suspend disbelief since all Diana Palmer characters and their situations are unrealistic, but then again that’s what fantasies are all about. And there's a guaranteed happy ending in spite of all the roadblocks. WYOMING TRUE is another fun read done in Diana Palmer's signature fashion.

The lead characters are immensely wealthy and therefore capable of stuff the rest of us can only imagine. Their wealth seems to know no bounds and they use it to their advantage. Private plane rides to fantastic restaurants is just normal to them. So after you get used to that it is back to remembering that WYOMING TRUE is about two lovely people whose lives have left them with numerous scars. Both physical and emotional. Each wary about love and trust. But they are meant for each other. . . if only they can get outside of their own heads.

WYOMING TRUE is book ten in the Wyoming Men series that absolutely can be read out of order.
