Summary: Her Best Yet
Review: This has to be my favorite book by Lavrle Spencer and I have read them all. Her books are so hard to put down when you start reading them. This one is written so well you feel like you know the characters and are sad when it's over! A definite read.

Summary: BEST ROMANCE EVER WRITTEN...
Review: And I haven't even finished it yet. I still have about 100 pages left to read, and this book has already touched my emotions so much I actually had to stop and write a review.

I am usually the type of person who likes there heriones beautiful and the heros dashing, but this book has left every other romance I have read in the dust. Will and Elly are perfect on every level. This is what true everlasting love is all about. LaVyle Spencer brings these two characters alive and shows us what real happiness is about. It's not the huge events in life that matter, but the small every day things that can bring the greatest joy. I love this book and would give it ten stars if that were possible.

Summary: Down To Earth Love Story
Review: I have never read a book quite such as this. I fell in lovewith each and every character in such detail that I felt so in touchwith each one. This story sums up to me in real life that everyone needs a chance given to them in this world. I also felt that this was an incredible self-esteem building novel and the two characters who fell in love, did so with such special love for each other. This book was so well written, capturing the patience, understanding and loyalties when two people start falling in love. The year in which this story was written were under difficult times and circumstances. Even though the year this book was written in (the olden days!) I felt the morals were what they should still be today. When starting to fall in love you take the good with the bad, you don't judge the other person, there is that bit of awkardness and shyness and there is that key word - TRUST! I was truly captivated by this novel. Sincerest thanks for writing this novel LaVyrle - your inspiration never ceases to amaze me - your novels make one's heart just a little bit warmer!!!!!!!

Summary: honest and sweet
Review: I have read this book several times, and it will always remain simple and sweet. If you like a love story that has a pure sentiment to it, you would enjoy this book. The appreciation for simple pleasures in life, that these characters showed, was in itself an enlightening way of looking at life. I loved this story for so many reasons. I loved Will and Elly and the family they became. I hope you enjoy this story as much as I did. If you don't buy this book, please check it out of your local Library.

Summary: I Wish I Could Of Given This Book More Than 5 Stars!!
Review: I truly loved this book! I wish I could have given it more than 5 stars that it deserves, this story made me smile, laugh and even cry. Will Parker, an ex-con who had a difficult life growing up, his past comes to haunt him. Elly's husbands dies leaving her with two boys and another on the way, The town thinks of her as crazy Elly but Will thinks of her has a beautiful person that he wants to get to know, I love these two characters. You will fall in love with Will, reading this book leaves you feeling good. I wish that LaVyrle Spencer would come out from hiding and start writing again. Her words are missed so much.
Happy Reading Lisa : ) Smile

Summary: Not just another romance story
Review: I'm too young to remember the era this book is set in, but the characters have stayed with me long after I put it down. My neighbor loans me (from her vast collection) probably 2 romance novels a month, but this one I can't seem to forget, so I'm buying myself a copy even though I've already read it.

Summary: One of my ALL TIME favorites!!!
Review: I, too, won't go into the story since so many have already. Great romance with a great story line. You can't help but feel for the characters. The setting is during WWII. Will has just gotten out of prison for a causing death to a woman that was an accident but was charged with murder. He just wants to settle down in a community where he can forget his past and move on with life- but the past seems to constantly follow him, causing him to move from community to community. Will has such a sweet caring heart but needs someone to give hime a chance and believe in him. Elly has been the talk of the community all her life due to her grandparents religious believes and family tragedy. She is a pregnant widow with two little boys to raise and no one to fall back on. She is a "plain-jane" with an inner beauty that needs someone to care and nurture. Elly has to really work at feeling secure. They find out that they both need each other in different ways. It is during a time when life was hard and a lot simpler- when people reached out to one another. A wonderful story that you won't be able to put down and it has a little bit of everything in it. You won't be disappointed, promise!!!

Review: I, too, won't go into the story since so many have already. Great romance with a great story line. You can't help but feel for the characters. Will had such a sweet caring heart but someone to believe in him. It felt good to find a story where the herione isn't gorgeous- but yet a rather plain girl with a inner beauty that needed someone to care. Elly had to really work at feeling secure. They both needed each other in different ways. I have always been interested in the 1930's, 40's, & 50's since that was when my parents grew up, dated and married. Times were difficult but a lot simpler then and people reached out to one another. A wonderful story that you won't be able to put down and it has a little bit of everything in it. You won't be disappointed, promise!!! I bought the book for my personal library. Don't pass this one up. So far it's my LS favorite!

Summary: Spencer does it again...(4 1/2 stars)
Review: It always amazes me how consistently brilliant Lavyrle Spencer is. Even if Im not crazy about all of her books, there is no arguing that the woman can write.... "Morning Glory" is a perfect example of Spencer's enormous talent for making the characters and the scenery enveloping them leap to life. "Morning Glory" was a heartwarming tale of Will and Elly- two lost souls who had known little happiness in their lives, but who found love in eachother. I LOVED this book. I thought that the characters growth was a wonder to watch and I enjoyed every moment. My only quibble with this book was that I felt that there wasn't enough romantic tension...Elly and Will proclaimed their love too early on for my taste, but regardless the story was enthralling. All in all a fantastic read...
