A beautiful Victorian-era love story

I loved this book! I would recommend it to anyone who wants to spend an afternoon curled up in a comfortable chair with a good book. The sailing scenes are exciting, and the story of Jens and Lorna's love and separation touching. I loved the character of Jens for his values of honesty and hard work. Ms. Spencer does a wonderful job of describing what the rich ate, wore and the activities they enjoyed, and contrasts those to the far more simple pleasures of boatracing and boatbuilding loved by Jens. I also enjoyed her descriptions of the typical behavior of the aunts and other members of Lorna's family. Aunt Agnes always fondly remembers her Captain Dearsley but Aunt Henrietta, who is so sour on men, merely warns Lorna to wear a sharp hatpin when she is alone with Taylor. Little does anyone know, Taylor is not the man Lorna is spending time with. The story of Jens and Lorna's relationship, from the first meeting in the kitchen of the Rose Point cottage to her disgrace and banishment when her parents learn she is pregnant, is funny, touching and sad by turns. The scenes I enjoyed most were near the end. I was touched when Lorna sees her son for the first time since he is born, and felt great admiration for Lorna when she risked the censure of her rich social circle by bringing her son to the regatta. LaVyrle combines plot, description and character development to make a great story. --Wynne Lewis

Favorite by Spencer

I have read all of LaVyrle Spencer's novel and this is the best!! (Morning Glory second) I read this book twice and loved every page. I imagined I lived in the gilded age and what life would have been like for the wealthy. It's refreshing to find a novel where the man isn't exceedingly wealthy and the poor woman must rely on him to take care of her.

Unbeatable

How could such a perfect story have ended? It's one of those things you wish would go on forever. This was the first book I'd read by the author, but it got me hooked. I've read it so many times I can recite most of it. The characters and time period were perfect and I think Jens has to be my dream man.

I fell in love with Jens - you have to read this book

I thought this was Lavyrle Spencer's best book yet. The very first scene is very descriptive and amusing, and sets the tone for the rest of the story. This book pulled me in. I could identify with the characters, truly a sign of great writing. Most of all, I fell in love with Jens, the leading man of the story, based on his drive, confidence and personality. His character was so well-thought out that I believed that he could easily be a real person. I would recommend this book to anyone
