From Publishers Weekly
Bestseller Palmer mixes aw-shucks small-town romance with cookie-cutter crime drama, but still scores points with a slowly sizzling lead relationship. Texas FBI agent Garon Greer is 36; having lost his wife to cancer 10 years earlier, he has recently moved from San Antonio, Tex., to nearby Jacobsville, where his not-quite-estranged brother Cash (from Palmer's Lawless) is police chief. The angelic Grace Carver, 24 and mourning the death of her grandmother, is the still-recovering victim of a childhood sexual assault, and Garon's next-door neighbor. As Garon tracks a serial killer who strangles his child victims with a red ribbon, Garon avoids Grace-who may in fact may hold the key to catching the killer. Romance fans will savor Grace's indomitable spirit and quiet power over Garon, though mystery readers may find the resolution a foregone conclusion.

From Booklist
Harboring horrible secrets, Grace is in self-imposed exile, living with her ailing grandmother in Jacobsville, Texas. After his pregnant wife dies of cancer, FBI agent Garon leaves San Antonio for ranch life in Jacobsville, where his once-estranged brother Cash, from Lawless (2003), is chief of police. When Grace'sgrandmother dies, Garon, who has secrets of his own, offers comfort and friendship to Grace, then is shocked when the investigation into the Red Ribbon Serial Killer, a child murderer, leads straight to Grace. Palmer's unforgettable characters include Grace's grandmother ("as loving as a python"), Garon's bossy housekeeper, and Garon's feminist secretary. The popular Palmer has penned another winning novel, a perfect blend of romance and suspense, and her fans will be delighted to see characters from her other books pop in like old friends.

Idiotic and Cruel Hero Ruins this Diana Palmer book
By loonigrrl
Somethings you can almost always count on in a Diana Palmer book: 1) the heroine is naive and innocent and usually virginal 2)the heroine is at least 10 but more like 15 years younger than the hero 3) the hero treats her like dirt and 4) the heroine loves him anyway. Unfortunately, Diana Palmer's latest, Lawman, doesn't break from the author's pretty standard formula.
Grace Carver (the last name must be a sick joke) survived a horrifying assault when she was only 12 years old. Grace's grandmother, a truly mean and vicious woman, raised her and let Grace know quite clearly how much she didn't love her. Despite this, Grace was devoted to her in the extreme before the old woman died. Grace herself is almost sickeningly sweet and self sacrificing. In fact, she seems to make a habit of loving people who treat her terribly.
FBI agent Garon Grier moves to town and begins working on a serial child rapist and murder mystery that has remained unsolved for over ten years. Garon meets his neighbor Grace quickly after his arrival. He tries to persuade himself that he isn't interested in this "frumpy" young girl, but her goodness and sweetness eventually win him over- after he is continuously rude, obnoxious and mostly indifferent to her for quite a while.
One of the biggest problems I had with the book is Garon. For me, he crossed the line of acceptable behavior that I'm willing to forgive. He lets Grace believe that they are beginning this relationship, but then brushes her off without explanation, hoping she'll just take the hint. When the naive girl doesn't get it at first, he cruelly humiliates her on more than one occasion in front of the town by yelling at her not to stalk him and screaming at her that he doesn't want her and that they are through.
Another problem I had with Garon is that he was just really dense. He was supposed to be this smart, hotshot FBI agent, but it took him WAY too long to figure out who the child rapist and murder was when it was COMPLETELY obvious. And the fact that he kept brushing off Grace's behavior (baggy clothing, nightmares, extreme fear of men and her refusal to allow any men to touch her) as just some "inappropriate" touching when she was a child and not a big deal, was extremely upsetting for me. This guy was just an idiot. And mean. If he had been a little smarter, had the mystery not been so very obvious and had Garon treated Grace much more kindly, then Lawman would have been a good (typical, but good) Diana Palmer book. As it was, I just could not understand why this girl would fall in love with someone like that. He had basically no redeeming qualities.

Corny and Naive Storytelling (D- Grade)
By Katie Babs
She wasn't pretty... but...
Now imagine that line throughout this book. The heroine is frumpy and not pretty, but her inner goodness and warmth makes the hero hungry for her touch.
Grace, our frumpy heroine was raped and mutilated one night when she was twelve. She was able to survive and lived with her mean grandmother. (Granny is mean because of the guilt but soon dies so she gets hers in the end). Twenty-Four years old Grace doesn't drink, which she calls alcohol "spirits", works two jobs to support her granny and hates men. Now the man hating part is understandable because of her past trauma. She wears baggy clothes and can't stand any male to touch her. But the fact that she is so innocent may grate on some nerves. It did mine. But hey, she lives in a small town where everyone is wholesome and kind, so in a strange way it makes sense.
Enter her neighbor and soon to be lover Garon who works for the FBI. He is investigating a serial child killer. He is hard nosed, cold and doesn't want marriage or kids because something that had happened in his past. He assumed Grace is looking for a kind and marriage-minded man. BUT, that doesn't stop him from kissing her and getting to know her in more intimate ways.
When Garon is not trying to find the psycho killer, he does a constant see-saw with Grace. One minute he wants her then the next he is accusing her of stalking him in front of the whole town. He simply freaks out after having sex with her a few times because he just knows she will fall in love with him and want to get married! **GASP**
Palmer again missing the mark with the over the top cold hero and the amazing innocence of the heroine regardless of the trauma she went through. Garon is so verbally abusive to Grace; he needs a good slap across his face. He honestly thinks she isn't that bright, but does a turn around when she comes out and starts speaking Arabic because she knows it as a second language. HUH?!?! That must have been some home-school!
The side mystery plot about the serial killer lacks any suspense and is dull. The whole love story between Garon and Grace was stretching some major realism.
This book is the ultimate pass.

Unbelievable Fiction
By A. Roberts
I finished "Lawman" and believe me that wasn't easy. (I did a lot of skimming) It is embarrassing from start to finish. I have read several of Diana Palmer Books but this one goes beyond all reason. I thought "Hunter" (another of DP Books)was cruel but finally redeemable but Garon is over the top stupid. I'm sorry but Grace isn't far behind. The first couple chapters she smart mouths him at every turn and he hasn't done anything yet. (I could feel sorry for all she had been through but still her character let a lot of questions)Later in the book, her character is described as genius and she knows all these languages. Where did she learn them? Supposedly she hasn't been out of her Grandmothers house except for the couple jobs she works at so where did she get all this knowledge? She is genius but doesn't know or even suspect she's pregnant. H-m-m-m! Then there are all the secrets. I think the book should be renamed (Secrets). Even Garon's brother doesn't know he had a wife he lost to cancer. Come on now! Then Grace markets a Business out of Garon's home and he knows nothing about it?? The whole book is just not believable. I'm usually not this critical but this one really got on my nerves. I have DP's "Outsider" and "Before Sunrise"on my shelf and have read them a couple times and her Alpha Males aren't nearly as cruel or stupid. I think you can still have the Alpha Male without him being quite so cruel. Then it would be nice to have a new heroine who is perhaps a little closer in age to the hero of the book. How many books with this scenario can we read? It's time for a change. Even the dialogue in this book between the characters was difficult to read. IT is just a very disappointing book!
