Rating:  Summary: Excellent, feel-good read! Review: I really recommend this book! It has everything a good girl book should have....love, childhood memories, fame, parts that make you laugh, parts that make you cry, parts that make you say "awww" and of course a happy ending.
Rating:  Summary: WONDERFUL READING - - IT'S A MUST READ Review: I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I loved all the details about the country singers life. I'm a firm believer in beauty is only skin deep. I liked how Mac came to realize that Kenny (the high school dork) is the love she had been waiting for! I am a huge fan of LaVyrle Spencer. I have read many of her books, and I'm excited to read all the others. I haven't found one yet that I haven't loved.
Rating:  Summary: Loved this book! Review: I thought the book was very predictable but I loved it anyway! I could guess from the back cover how the book would end but when it did end, I was really sad to leave the characters! They were all just so likeable. If you want a light, enjoyable book with characters who are easy to like, read this book.
Rating:  Summary: It could have been great... Review: I was with this book right up to the end. Some may not find it believable that a country star would fall for the high school dork, but I found the romance rather redemptive for the cruel way Tess treated Kenny in high school. Besides, who hasn't read about the ugly duckling heroine who turns into a beautiful swan? This is a great twist with the hero being the ugly duckling turned swan.But LaVyrle lost me at the end when Tess announces to Kenny (while the two are in bed, no less) that she never wants to have children with him because her career is "too important" to her. Huh? A singer of the kind of music that traditionally celebrates family is putting her career over the family she might have built with her true love? Makes you wonder just how much Tess really loves Kenny and such wondering on the part of a reader spells the death of any hope for a successful romance novel. This book can be summed up in five words: In the end, a disappointment.
Rating:  Summary: i wish i was still reading it!! Review: i'm a 16 year old highschool girl. i asked my english teacher to give me a good book to read in study hall and this is the one he gave to me. i read it in four days, but i have yet to pick up the book he gave me to do a book report on!
Rating:  Summary: Didn't keep my interest Review: I'm sorry LaVyrle, love you as I do, Small Town Girl just didn't keep my interest. The romance just didn't seem believeable and I was easily bored and felt the book was just thrown together. Why would she love a dork from her high school? My opinion, steer clear and go for one of those country music hunks.
Rating:  Summary: Loved it, of course Review: I've been in love with her books since I first read "Years" many, many years ago. When someone asks me who my favorite author is, Lavyrle Spencer is always one of the first names I come up with. The minute I spied her newest book on the shelf I snapped it up. I'm glad to say she didn't disappoint me again. I loved the setting, the characters, everything about the book. What I like best is the way her characters struggle through a variety of ups and downs but always become better people at the end. They change as they learn and grow through their relationships with friends and loved ones. As far as "feel good" books go, Lavyrle Spencer is #1
Rating:  Summary: Good book for romantics & country music fans Review: If Reba McIntyre doesn't jump on this book and make a t.v. movie, she's missing a great opportunity--I felt in a way like I was reading about her! Although, Lavyrle Spencer's writing reminds me of something from a "True Romance" magazine, the plot about a country music star was entertaining.
Rating:  Summary: This novel is capturing, a book that touches the heart. Review: LaVyrle Spencer does a beautiful job of portraying the small town life that Tess McPhail comes home to, from her million dollar life. The story line is interesting, and will not let you go, until you've finished. Even after you're done reading, you will wish the novel was continued. I think that perhaps a sequel would be nice.
Rating:  Summary: Small Town Girl makes good and finds herself in the process Review: Lavyrle Spencer is a master at taking ordinary, everyday people and giving them a life. I am from the Nashville area and I could see every place she talked about. It made me feel like apart of the book. I do not like Romance books that have perfect human specimans as their characters, who have no story, just sex. L.S. takes real characters and gives them a story and a life. I have every one of her books and I love her. She is a master at her craft. GREAT!!!
