Summary: Not bad
Review: I enjoyed this romance, but not as much as I wanted to. It was so obvious that Tommy Lee and RAchel would get back together, I kept waiting for them to get it over with. Rachel's main hesitation was Tommy Lee's reputation (which I can understand) and worry about what everyone would think (which I couldn't). RAchel's dad comes off as such a jerk, I couldn't understand why she even cared about his opinion. The story never quite built up the suspense or romantic tension it needed. Not as good as some of her others.

Summary: DISAPPOINTING!!!
Review: I hate to say this because I really like Lavyrle Spencer. I think that she's one of the best and I'm sad that she no longer writes. However, this book stunk. I don't know any other way of saying it. The book was way too predictible. I really couldn't get into it. There was nothing original about it.

Summary: Just average
Review: I have read several books by Lavyrle Spencer, all of which I enjoyed. This one I liked the least, the story line was totally predictable and I knew from the start that they were going to get together. For once I would like to read a book where there wasn't such a happy ending. I guess that wouldn't be a romance novel then.

Summary: Predictable but still Lavyrle
Review: I have to admit this is my least favorite of all the books of hers that ive read. The story is sweet and the way Rachel has to go about making Tommy's daughter trust her is nice. Of course im always for a good sensual spark, and the way the they found each other and relearned each other was nicely written. Being from the south i automatically have a liking for southern relationships in a story, but the redneck thing was a little gaudy for my taste. Still enjoyed the book and everybody has a right to form their own opinions. I overall liked the book but some of the romantic flame between this book and her other books characters doesnt quite measure up.

Summary: AN EXCEPTIONAL REUNITING
Review: I loved this book. It is wonderful when you can still get a great old fashioned romance. They are not fancy people. It is a great story about small town folk. The coming together again of Rachel and Tommy Lee will have you in your own little world. You will cheer and hope for their happiness. There is never a dull moment to let you relax. A truly great page-turner. Enjoy!!

Summary: Rachel & Tommy Lee's love was meant to be
Review: Probably everyone knew of a Rachel and Tommy Lee in school that were just meant to be--- where one was you saw the other and you just knew that they would end up together. But then later you heard of a tragedy that kept them apart and it broke your heart because their love had been so sweet and pure.Yes, this story was predictable but, you know, I read it just to see what they had to go through to finally have one another in the end. Knowing LS's writing, I knew it wasn't going to be an easy or smooth ride. LS can do that- she can take a realistic situation- bring it to life in front of your eyes. It probably isn't - well, in fact, I know it's not one of my favorite LS books but it is still worth reading and enjoying. One of my favorite scenes was the clothing left in the pool and "Dear Ole' Daddy" seeing them. Read it and enjoy it!

Summary: One of My Favorite LaVyrle Books
Review: The Hellion is one of those books I find myself returning to again and again. Although not one of her most sophisticated or complex plots - it is, as other reviewers here have pointed out, somewhat predictable - there is noone better than LaVyrle at creating genuinely likeable, engaging characters. Even if you can guess from the begining where Tommy Lee and Rachel are going to end up you'll want to go along for the ride! It's the kind of story LaVryle does best - the rediscovery of love once lost. Two people no longer young, no longer innocent, discovering that love never simply disappears and that it's never too late to find out "what if". And, finally, for anyone who ever fell for the "bad boy" Tommy Lee may inspire some wonderful memories!

Summary: Good but not great...(3 1/2 stars)
Review: The Hellion was an ok book. Tommy Lee and Rachel were involved long ago, but after a 24 year separation, they are reunited. The writing was decent and the story was ok, but I just didnt like the characters all that much. Tommy Lee wasnt too bad, but I found his huge behavioral changes to be somewhat unbelievable. As for Rachel, I just didnt really like her. She came across as a bit of a snob and I felt like it was obvious that Tommy Lee loved Rachel much more than she loved him. Not bad, but not a keeper. Still, it is worth reading especially if you are a real fan of Spencer.

Summary: Just average
Review: This book brings Rachel and Tommy, who were high school sweethearts, to the present troubles of adult life. Lingering in the background are unresolved feelings from their troubled past together. This makes for such a story of love and forgiveness. This is a definate story for the Layrle Spencer fan. She never fails to take me into the characters heart and show me exactly how they feel.
