Summary: Just Awful ....
Review: I love LS, but for the life of me I can't figure out what women saw in Joseph Duggan. We had to read over and over how short the guy was as if it were a fault; (i.e. his thigh was shorter than Winn's boyfriend's thigh.)
Joseph was described as having curly hair in such a way that it wasn't normally an attractive trait in a man, but it would do here. Authors are supposed to endear heros to us, not make them yucky! Speaking of yucky: Winn and Joseph had just finished a game of racket ball at her club, had showered and met outside the locker room, and she noticed that he "held a wad of something cotton and white - his underwear." To which Joseph explained he'd left in a hurry and hadn't thought about clean underwear! Now I ask you, did we really want to know that? How gross!Joseph was terribly overbearing. Winn really didn't know him when he literally pressed his nose to her neck while she applied lipstick! And later on in the story when Winn had asked Joseph to give her time alone, he kept calling and calling and calling, leaving extremely sappy love messages and - groveling, if you will.
And no guy would use the phrase "where the blazes" or "what the blazes" ... even in 1984. He was also no dancer, yet he was supposed to have "held his own" on the dance floor, moving his shoulders, hips, and feet. In real life, he'd look like an idiot.
When Winn made a spontaneous visit to see Joseph, she met his brothers and parents and they fawned over her as if she were Joseph's longtime girlfriend, when in fact, at this point, she'd probably spoken more words to her mailman than she had to Joseph. I don't think a guy should play games, using the 'hard to get', motto, but this guy was too much of a sap. I don't see how a woman could end up falling for a guy who, minutes after meeting him, has set you a place in his family. I find guys like Joseph a turn-off. He was the most uncool guy ever.

Summary: I couldn t put it down
Review: I really loved this book. I couldn t put it down and had to stay awake till four in the morning until I finished it. I really liked both Winn and Joseph very much. I like characters who are honest and tell their feelings. You can also feel the connection between the two of them.

Summary: COULDN'T PUT IT DOWN
Review: Mrs. Spencer writes very smoothly,poetic and makes you feel like you are a character in the book. I started this book on Thanksgiving weekend and could not put it down. It was a tear jerker, heart pounder type novel that I would invite everyone to read. Mrs. Spencer's book titled "Then Came Heaven" was also a type of romance book that I could not put down. "Spring Fancy" should be read at night, preferably with a book light so that the full effect from her descriptions of Winn and Joseph are mesmerized in your brain before you go to sleep.

Summary: Tacky, Tacky, Tacky.....
Review: Oh how it breaks my heart to give such a low rating to a book by Spencer, but I just couldnt see it any other way. What an AWFUL story. I couldnt stand the characters. First we have Winn. She was so inconsistent and two faced I wanted to slap her. She would encourage the "hero" constantly, only to turn around in a huff 2 seconds later because she just couldnt do that to her fiance...oh, and the "hero", Jo Jo..yes, thats right, Jo Jo..oh my. His name is Only the beginning of his problems. He is decribed as having FEMININE curly hair and he is so annoying and childish I just couldnt take it anymore. Slap these two together and wrap them up in a stupid storyline with the most ridiculous dialogue and you have "Spring Fancy". So, why 2 stars?...Its a Lavyrle Spencer. Only my love for this author kept me from rating it a 1.

Summary: Predictable, but HOT
Review: There is one thing about this book that I can't get out of my mind...a man has ONLY ONE NIGHT with his dream woman -- so he's got to make it count. (WOW!)

Summary: A Wonderful Romance!
Review: What an intriguing story line! The wedding is planned and everything is going well but the groom is not the "one" after-all as the engaged girl meets a more perfect man for her. A delightful romance that ends well, and a book that holds interest from page one.

Summary: Such a thrilling love story!
Review: Winn Gardner is engaged to be married to Paul. At a wedding for a close friend, Winn meets Joseph Duggan, and it's with flying sparks! The two are immediately attracted to each other, but Winn loves Paul and is feeling guilty because of the way she feels about Joeseph. Paul has everything planned for their life together as husband and wife, buying her a nice house and giving her what any woman would want. But something is lacking, and it takes Joseph to help Winn figure that out. The story develops as both Winn and Joe become closer, and she is torn between her fiance who has done nothing wrong (or so she thinks), and Joe, who is everything she's wanted in a man! The book was a fast read for me. I had been a fan of Lavyrle Spencer years ago and was lucky to find this book during a vacation trip at the airport! I'm glad i picked it up. I missed reading a good romance.
