5.0�toiles sur 5 Best Spencer Book Ever!!!, Avril 29 2004

This review is from: Gamble (Mass Market Paperback)

This was my first Spencer book, and it will always and forever be my favorite. I've read almost all of her others, and only a few come even close. Personally, I think this book is her most complete in terms of characterization, etc. In some ways, I think she used jessie and abbie as a model for agatha and scott (hummingbird and years are probably my 2nd faves). On a scale of 1 to 5, I would really like to give this 50 stars. READ IT!

5.0�toiles sur 5 One of Spencer's Three Best, Avril 4 2004

Par	airwink (Tucson, AZ USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires

This review is from: Gamble (Mass Market Paperback)

While I have not read all of LaVyrle Spencer's books yet, I am down to the last 4 or 5. I was worried I would not find another as good as Vows or Hummingbird (Spencer's historical novels are far superior to her contemporary efforts). About 50 pages into The Gamble, however, I knew this one was going to be their equal. As other reviewers have expressed, a romance book is just not a romance when halfway through the characters have already professed their love for one another (this was one of my problems with November of the Heart, although it was superbly written). The Gamble keeps you on tenterhooks until the LAST 50 pages - even though you know how it must end. Both lead characters were perfect. In Scott Gandy, LaVyrle has created the sexiest hero I have ever imagined. Her descriptions of him just resonate in my mind. And I cannot tell you how wonderful it was that she created her heroine with such an obvious physical flaw, and that Scott still falls for her. Most Harlequins would never stand for that! I am still trying to figure out why this Spencer book has never been made into a movie while some of her lesser novels have been. Maybe someday. You know a book is simply fabulous when you keep reading voraciously but still somehow never want it to end! If you have never read LaVyrle Spencer, I challenge you to read The Gamble and then never pick up another book of hers again. Simply impossible!

5.0�toiles sur 5 FABULOUS!!!!, Mars 22 2004

Oh my, what a book. Lavyrle Spencer creates some of the most realistic and likeable characters Ive ever met.I absolutely LOVED Scott and Agatha together. I always adore Spencer's Heroines;They are flawed and so human. The writing was,as usual,incredible. The books pacing was perfect and the scenery and all of the characters were so colorful they nearly jumped out of the pages. Only one thing bothered me about this book and that was the situation with Justine- it felt thrown in...otherwise...PERFECTION.

This is by far my favorite book by Lavryle Spencer. A beautifully written story, it grabs hold of you from the very first page and leaves you disappointed that it has to end. Read more

There are very few romance novels out there that rise above the usual formula, that have less than perfect looking characters, and that have real depth to them. Read more
