Customer Reviews

Love it!

This is one of my favorite books of all time. LaVyrle Spencer is a fantastic writer. She writes so vividly that you feel like you're right there in the story alongside these characters. This is much more than a simple romance novel. The descriptions of the people, the prairie, the school - is all amazing. This book is a must-read!

I fall in love every time I read it :-)!!

About once a year or two I read Years and I fall in love with Teddy all over again. I never have to skip over parts because I've read the book so many times, and I always find myself awake late into the night finishing the story. I just can't put it down. Linnea is also an endearing character. She doesn't irritate me with non-stop defiance, and she doesn't make me sick with her beauty and perfection. I love these two characters and all the others surrounding their story. You will NOT be disappointed when you buy this book.

PERFECTION.

OH. MY. GOD. What a book! I LOVED THIS! Teddy and Linnea were SO romantic together. This is only my second book by LS, but I can honestly say Ive never read another author who can write sexual tension like she can! Whew! This book is FULL of likeable characters that go way beyond just the h/h. Speaking of heroines...Linnea was fantastic. She was so stubborn and what a daydreamer! I just adored her. This is a book that is going on my keepers shelf for sure. I wholeheartedly recommend it.

A heartwarming, romantic, value oriented, life story.

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.

A story of heartache, growing up, and love.

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!!!
