The Long, Tall Texans is Diana Palmer’s most famous series, with over 80 books published since 1988. The series is set in the fictional towns of Jacobsville and Brannville, Texas, where ranchers, cowboys, lawmen, and military men meet their match with strong, independent women. Each book focuses on a new couple while keeping the small-town community alive in the background.
Palmer started the series with Calhoun in 1988 and has kept it going for nearly four decades. The early books were shorter category romances, while later entries like Notorious (2020) and The Loner (2023) are full-length novels. The series has been collected and repackaged many times, and some books appear under multiple titles or in combined editions. Despite the enormous size of the series, each book works on its own and new readers can jump in anywhere.
