This review is from: LaVyrle Spencer : Three Complete Novels : Morning Glory / Vows / The Gamble (3 Novels in 1 Volume) (Hardcover)

Three great novels in one big book. Morning Glory is one of the best love stories I have ever read. It would be a great basis for a movie. It is about a down in the luck good looking man (with a bad past) who answers an ad for a husand from a down in the luck widow who is considered by the town as crazy. It is set in the early 1900s. They are both wnderful people and the story is magic. Vows is also excellent, I was able to connect to all the characters - they were very engaging and likable people. It is set in the 1800s and is about a young woman who is tomboy. She helps run the livery stable and is studying to be a vet. She is torn by her feelings for two men, and I don't blame her. I love them both too. There is a secondary love story about her father, an honorable man who is torn between two women. Both of the women are likeable also,in totally different ways. I am still reading The Gamble and so far it is just as good as the vows. It is set after the Civil War and during the temperance era. The main female character is lovable. She is a miliner who was hurt as a child by her drunk father and has a limp. Her shop is in the same building as the new saloon, purchased by a georgeous southern gentleman/gambler. Sparks fly, especially when the "dancing" girls arrive in town. The author, Spencer, has a true talent for story telling. The passion between lovers is very good but not too graphic (just sexy enough without making the reader gringe). I highly recommend all three novels contained in this big hardback book. I bought this book used. It came with the book jacket and is in excellent condition.

I loved this book! All three stories were great. THE HELLION was heart breaking, Rachel's father was so domineering and caused people 20 years of unhappiness. SEPARATE BEDS was the most interesting to me, I thought it took Clay a long time to figure out what is really important to make a good marriage, that similar life styles and backgrounds are not it. Catherine had to learn that she was a good person, how to show love and except the fact that she was loveable. I really liked the humor that was in HUMMINGBIRD, and what a man Jesse was! Abigail was so "up-tight", it was such fun to see Jesse make her loose her control. But in the end, it was Jesse that had to admit she had got to him too.

I haven't read this compilation of 3 books. But I have the book Hummingbird. It is 1 of my favorite books... one that I could never part with. I have already read it several times. I can't really comment on the other 2 books but for the Hummingbird book alone it is well worth it.
