5.0 out of 5 stars A new Lavyrle Spencer fan!, March 16, 2001

By

This review is from: Vows (Paperback)

After finishing "Vows", I can honestly say that I am now a bonafide Lavyrle Spencer fan. Before this book I wasn't too sure because I'd read 2 great books and 1 OK book, but this sure clinched it! I immensely loved the character of Emily, she was strong & smart and I loved how she analysed things (her feelings for Charles, Tom etc). It's a fairly 'typical' story where the hero & the heroine both hate each other (with a nuclear force in this story) and then eventually fall in love. It does have an interesting twist with the fiance, friendships and a side-story about how Emily's father, Edwin and her mother made a similar mistake of choosing duty over love/passion in their lives. Tom Jeffcoat was just another one of Lavyrle Spencer's perfect leading man. Loved the interactions (verbal sparring) between Tom & Emily. If you liked this book, then I'd recommend that you pick up "The Gamble" (my ultimate favorite) or "The Hummingbird".

5.0 out of 5 stars Another hurray for Lavyrle !, April 5, 2000

This review is from: Vows (Paperback)

I couldnt put it down! I am an avid fan of L.S. and this has to be one of my new favorites. Separate Beds being my all time favorite book. This story only got better the deeper into the book you got. The way the characters respond to their feelings seems less contrived than a lot of the typical romances you will read. The closer you get to the finale, the better it gets! It has a suspense that reams you deeper into the story. A must read for anyone who loves a good story and likes to ride the wave of emotions only Lavyrle can put you on. READ IT !

5.0 out of 5 stars took me to a different time and place, August 29, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Vows (Paperback)

This book was a great read! Normally, I don't like books about head-strong women, but Spencer did such a great job at showing Emily's soft side, especially when she took care of her mother. And the parts where Emily lost her temper with Tom were very entertaining. Even though this type of story is predictable, I enjoy novels where the couple start as adversaries and gradually fall in love throughout the course of the book. And anyone who loves caring for animals as much as Emily did is a real heroine as far as I'm concerned. I also liked reading about life in Wyoming in the 1800's, it reminded me a little of how much I enjoyed reading about Laura Ingalls Wilder when I was young. This is a great book to read if you just want to escape the realities of this time for a while.
