Rating: Summary: Excellent Review: I could not put this book down, I absolutely loved the characters and the time put into explaining the scene and the history and the romance and EVERYTHING! I read it in three days because I just couldn't put it down. I am a die hard Nora Roberts/J.D. Robb fan but this gives Nora a run for her money. Don't miss this book!
Rating: Summary: Much more than a romance! Review: I do not tend to read romance novels. I honestly believe this story shouldn't be classified as such. Yes, it had an underlying theme of a attraction between the two lead characters. However, it was so much more! I felt drawn into the story. I felt that I knew all the characters. I could feel their joys, heartaches, and all the emotions between them. The entire story line was amazing! I highly recommend this book to anyone. Enjoy!!
Rating: Summary: A book that tugs at your heart and is over too soon! Review: I first read this book when I was a sophmore in high school, but I still read it at least once a year. The characters are real and they leave you wishing that you knew them. They weren't joking when they said that this was the book Lavyrle Spencer was born to write! My family gets so angry with me when I read it because nothing else seems as important! I think about it long after I'm finished. Anyone who is a dreamer like myself will be fantasizing about a Teddy of their own. . .
Rating: Summary: A heartwarming, romantic, value oriented, life story. Review: I have read this book over and over and will continue to do so for a lifetime! The story is not only a love story, but it also teaches values that seemed to have been lost in this day and age. The author describes the landscape in breathtaking detail. You feel as if you are there! The characters are full and rich. The heroine is young, gutsy and what every woman could wish to be. The hero is not typical, cranky, shy, strong and honorable. This couple actually waits until they are married to make love!! I laughed, yearned for them and cried with them. It is a book that will leave a warm feeling in your heart. You will never want to see it end.
Rating: Summary: Best book I have ever read! Review: I have worn out my copy of this book and had to replace it! It is the best feel good romance story ever written. I am a big fan of Ms. Spencer, and I rate this one as her best. I have missed her writing since she retired, but at least I can re-read her fine stories.I almost feel as though Teddy and Linnea actually existed, their story is so real. It is a feel good book-grab it and curl up in bed on a cold winter day! There is hardship, of course in the book, but not so much that your miserable just reading it. You will be touched. I have hundreds of "keeper" books-books that I can enjoy again and again. But this one-hands down-is the BEST.
Rating: Summary: A story of heartache, growing up, and love. Review: I just recently started reading Lavyrle Spencer's books, and so far this is one of my favorites. Spencer's novels are more then a romance novel, they are an excellent and breathtakingt story! She makes you feel at home with the characters and makes you feel what they are feeling. This particular nove talkes place in 1918--Alamo, North Dakota. Its about an 18 year old girl who just received her teaching certificate and has gotten her first job away from home. She is very excited about her new experience and despartley wants to grow up. As the story continues, Linnea learns about the hardships of farming, war, and love. She struggles to keep herself from falling in love with an older man, but can't get him out of her mind. Read the story to find out what happens between Linnea and Theodore!!!
Rating: Summary: Unforgettable book Review: I read this book in 1995. I have never forgotten the loving and touching story. Few stories have touched me like this one did. In fact, should I ever be blessed with another daughter, I'll probably name her Linnea.

Rating: Summary: Great Book! Review: I simply loved this story. I prefer "Cinderella & Prince Charming" type stories, though. But here, no one was rich, no one sure if he or she would live happily ever after, or even another day, and still there was happiness and love and the feeling of genuine companionship. It's been years since I read this book and yet it seems like yesterday. You won't forget this story or the characters.
Rating: Summary: A beautiful love story Review: I usually take a long time to read a book, but this particular book kept me going and going. It was so good, I didn't want to put it down
