Rating: Summary: 3 rd in the tirlogy -- DEFINITELY A KEEPER Review: Finally it all comes together in a great romance -- only disappointment was for Caleb and Analisa - they should have had at least 2 more offspring.Annika thought she knew a lot about life - Boston life that is -- but soon found to her dismay, when she was given a mistaken identity and kidnapped by Buck Scott, that she had a lot more to learn. She started out in fear of this hulking blonde giant and ended up passionately in love with him. To this day, I find that so many of the younger generation could not survive if put into a similar situation. Annika preferred her meat from a butcher rather than on the foot. I had to chuckle at her reaction to skinning a rabbit. It brought back memories. She did show the inner strength of her mother in making the best of a situation and finally coming to grips with her lack of survival knowledge. Buck Scott turned out to be a patient teacher [and in my mind] a loving, lovable man. The seduction scenes were not overly done and in keeping with the story. Zach Elliot was back and as great as ever in his supporting, humorous role. Kase was stronger, of course he is 5 years older, and is presented as a more powerful, loving character. And his wonderful wife, Rosa, she is pregnant. Love her character. I was really happy to see that Kase has taken on the role of collecting amd protecting the Buffalo. These characters have such real depth that you wish you could go to Wyoming and visit them. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED -- should be listed as a keeper and a plus.
Rating: Summary: A favorite Review: I am becoming a big fan of Jill Marie Landis and would add this book to any list of must-read's. Jill tells the story of a young woman wanting to experience life to the fullest. (And who of us doesn't?) I felt the story could have been true about anyone's great grandparents, and that is what made it real for me. The first and last thirds of the book are well written. The middle sags a bit but not enough to put it down permenently. If you like snappy dialogue, tender moments and deeply passionate love scenes, this book could be your favorite, too.
Rating: Summary: Friend wouldn't give it back! Review: I hale from Wyoming and encourage all readers from the state to read this book. If you love history, and which native doesn't?, this book will enchant you. Although there are no "Laramie Mountains", it becomes apparent she is talking about our beloved Rockies. This book touched a chord and I sent it to a friend, who won't return it, which makes me laugh. Enjoy a wonderful story and a real capsul of our state!
Rating: Summary: just great! Review: I liked the book more for its being adventurous rather than for the romance, which is only about 3/4 as good as the adventure part. It's a really great book, the best historical romance I've read so far. I highly recommend it.
Rating: Summary: 2 and 1/2 stars.... Review: I LOVE books. To me, there is nothing more disappointing than a book that has enormous potential, but doesnt live up to it. Unfortunately, that was the case with the story "Come Spring". The tale is set in the 1890s, however the language and the actions of the characters felt distinctly modern. Speaking of characters..we have Annika and Buck. Yes, thats right..Buck. I ask you..what writer dreams up a man that is suppose to be desirable and saddles him with the name Buck??....but that is only one problem here. As I mentioned before..the players within this story do not act or speak in a way that was proper during the time period. That may seem like a small thing, but I was constantly being pulled from the story as more and more inaccuracies came to light. I also had a very hard time connecting with the h/h and felt that the ending was dragged out for far too long simply to add to the books length. All in all, this wasnt awful, but not great. Id say it was a notch below mediocre. I wouldnt recommend it.

Rating: Summary: Totally amazing! :) Review: Ms. Landis is a truly gifted writer as one can easily see in "Come Spring". With her first book, "Sunflower" we meet the Storm family. From there the journey reaches to Annika and Caleb's daughter, lost in her own thoughts and needing more than a debs life in Boston. Searching her heart, she craves adventure and finds herself in the wildest of the west. A wonderful sequel to "Sunflower" and also a must read is "Rose" the story of the Storm's son and his wife.
Rating: Summary: Great story! Review: This is a very good audio book from Romance Alive audio, the audio was abridged but I enjoyed the story even though it was condensed, it is about a guy named Buck Scott who mistakes a lady named Annika Storm for his mail order bride and carries her off to his cabin to help take care of his niece who now lives with him and by the time he realizes his mistake all three are snowbound together in his cabin and Annika begins to warm up to him. Great story
Rating: Summary: This is A "MUST-READ" for all Historical Romance lovers. Review: This is by far one of the best books I have ever had the pleasure of reading ( i've read ALOT of books ) To REALLY follow the story you should first read "Sun Flower" it's the heartwarming story of how Annika Storm's parents Analisa & Caleb Storm meet,marry & THEN fall in love. I have read all of the Jill Marie Landis books (with the exception of 1 or 2 that I haven't been able to "get my hands" on ) If you have never read any of Jills books then I highly reccomend these two titles. I also enjoyed "Just Once" ; "Last Chance" & Day Dreamer all by Jill Marie Landis.
Rating: Summary: Great! Review: This was one of my favorite romance novels. It was so sweet
