Another winner from Spencer! I saw this book at a local library used book sale and snatched it up, given the great experience I had with Morning Glory. I was not disappointed!First off, I adore Roberta! I find her fantastically independent, caring, and vulnerable when she needs to, as well as un-...
A big-tittied-girl named Theresa still lives with her parents even though she's 25. She's always been shy around new people and especially new men since they tend to gawk at her teeny frame and huge knockers (the author repeatedly mentions Theresa's teeny frame so you don't forget it). One day Th...
Jujur aja nih gw malas banget review buku ini.Sebenarnya sederhana aja sih ceritanya, Catherine Anderson (19 tahun), dengan latar belakang keluarga miskin, masih virgin melakukan ONS dengan Clay Forrester (25 tahun) mahasiswa sarjana hukum yg orangtuanya notabene kaya raya. Ketika mengetahui anak...
*** FIRST UPDATE, LESS THAN SEVENTY PAGES IN, 10.15.14 ***oh, m'god, y'all, i'm not sure i'm going to be able to DO this. i was blown away by lavyrle spencer's Morning Glory -- a POEM of a book; broke my heart. so when i saw a shelf full of spencer at my local Goodwill a few months back, i picked...
This is the lowest rating I have ever given a spencer book, although it unfortunately deserved it.I would say this book was a light read but I consider that a story that doesn't frustrate me or leave me with questions by the end of it. The ending of The Hellion was idealistic - and I have no pro...
If I was to list the Grande Old Dames of Historical Romance, I'd definitely have LaVyrle Spencer on my list. It's a shame that she has retired from writing, but at least she leaves a legacy behind in her excellent books she has written.The Endearment is one of her books I managed to overlook for...
Excellent book. Anything by LaVyrle Spencer is excellent!!!!Hummingbird is one of those rare books that can be read again and again and still enjoy it as much as the first time...If you do like romance novels, you will be in for a pleasant surprise if you're used to the average romance novel. Spe...
4 starsWow! This book left me feeling emotionally exhausted but satisfied. The Fulfillment is a poignant read that transports the reader back to the hardships and struggles the American farmstead faced during the early twentieth century. It also had me experiencing an array of conflicting emotion...
An oldie, but goodie...*5+ Stars* A truly epic read! One of my all-time, unforgettable favorites!Years is a breathtaking historical romance that I have been rereading faithfully since my teen years. It was my first (mildly steamy) "adult" read, so I may be slightly biased in my opinion, but this ...
A trio of Spencer's romantic best-sellers--Bygones, Forgiving, and Morning Glory--come to life in a six-cassette gift pack. Books available.
Orphan. Bastard. Convict. Woman-killer. Boy. Will Parker has been called every name in the book, none of them inaccurate and all of them unflattering. Drifting into Whitney, Georgia in the summer of 1941, he's just been fired from the local sawmill on account of his stint in prison for killing a ...
What a powerful book, a little soapy, but you have to figure I am a grown adult man too. This book could be huge for anyone that has ever went through a divorce, had an affair, had a one night stand, or someone who just plainly made some bad decisions in their lives. This book unfolds and lets ...
This final work of Spencer’s definitely reads different than her normal, gentler and more settled than dramatic and emotional, liked I’ve been used to from her. Not really a bad thing but I think I missed that high dramatic content from this “good-bye” book from her.I liked the characters well en...
I'll kick off this review by stating that Lavyrle Spencer has long time been and continues to be my favorite author, no question about it. It has taken me years to find a copy of Family Blessings, and while it is not at the top of my list of favorites by her, I'm glad to own it and to have read i...
This was a nice quick read. I always enjoy this authors work. Lee Walker is a young woman trying to make it in a "mans" world trying to prove to herself and others she can stand on her own two feet, be successful against the odds of being a woman and part Native American. But she has a past that ...
4 ½ stars. A lot of sadness and separation during this book, but it was offset with such tremendous love.I wasn’t crying, but it was close. The way they felt for each other consumed me. I was so into this book. I was yearning for them to be together and they had all these obstacles. Finally ...
"A moça pensou o nome: Tom... Thomas... e sentiu a assombrosa irrupção do desejo que apagava os contornos da discrição. O homem pensou nela como sempre: maria macho... a que menos teria suspeitado que pudesse acender esse fogo nele" (...)Livro absolutamente lindo. Personagens vibrantes, apaixonad...
Chandeliers gleamed, reflecting off polished oak floors and the highly waxed bannister of the staircase. On a refectory table in the main hall, smaller lanterns glimmered into the depth of a crystal punch bowl of persimmon beer beside another of syllabub, a rich mixture of sweet cream and wine. A...
Casey came over every day after school but Tess avoided Kenny and the backyard when she knew he was around. She helped Mary with her physical therapy and they seemed to argue about everything. Burt called on Friday from Omaha. Southern Smoke had played Stillwater, Oklahoma, Wichita, Kansas, and w...
Her face wasn’t quite as long as her publicity photo made it appear, but she had flawless skin, still clinging to most of last summer’s tan, and a mouth that could be called nothing but voluptuous. Her eyes were a stunning blue, as big as fifty-cent pieces, eyes, Allison knew, that would photogra...
But the smell was the same: a combination of must, coal oil, sour linens, and unwashed bodies. Even before she lit a lamp she knew she’d find no improvement in her surroundings. Groping at the kitchen table, she found stick matches and a lantern. When it was lit she avoided glancing around; inste...
