Love, Romance, and Adventure...,
By Maria D. (St. Charles, IL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lily: A Love Story (Hardcover)
I think that this book is one of the best romances that I've ever read. I have also been charmed by the character Marion Beatty. He's 6'0 and I love guys at that height! Well, as far as Texas goes, this is pretty much in short of what it really was like back then. It felt as if I were right there with them. I imagined that I was Lily all the time and when they stopped in that one barn that was owned by someone off on Christmas vacation, and made love with each other. I was scared when Lily was, loving when she was, but angry at her when she got mad at Marion for little things. I felt so sorry for him at those times. if ever someone wants a comedic, romantic, and a little saddening tale about after the Civil War, this is the perfect one.

This review is from: Lily (Paperback)
This is not a formula romance. It is deeper, better written, and more realistic than most so-called romance books. I absolutely loved this book and recommend it highly. It is written in the first person, and with such charm and honesty, I immediately cared deeply for the characters. I hope this auther writes more novels. She is an extremely gifted story-teller!

"Lily" is a very inspirational book for all ages.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Lily (Paperback)
This book was very good. Out of all the books that I have read, this book is my favorite. It has adventure, drama, romance, action and suspense. My one friend recommended it to me, and now I'm recommending it to all of you surfers. This book will make you laugh and cry as you see Lily go through good and rough times.
