Spring Always Comes Reviews

  Emotional rating: 5 stars
  Real quality rating: 3.5-4 stars
  
  This was a quick read with just the right dash of suspense and a generous seasoning of romance. Connie is a plucky young woman who manages to lay hands on a goal and work toward it. Her annoying half-brother Nick can’t seem to stop dragging her down with him. And her throwing over her suitor to give her best friend a chance at him has made her lose her best friend also...
  
  Overall, it isn’t very realistic, with folks seeing where they are wrong and instantly working to fix it, unless they are villains. I guess I’d call it overly idealistic. But I loved the characters and in the end what happened to all of them is exactly what I wanted them to get, so I ended the book feeling a great deal of personal satisfaction!

  I read every single book by this author when I was in high school/college. This particular title was a standout for me. The plot was somehow more "real" than those her other books.

  Another fun read by this author.
  This story was rather complex with many characters and several switches from person to person. My feelings for characters switched too. I would go from liking someone to not liking them, or having an unfavorable opinion of them to cheering them on.
  There is a bit of drama in this story with bad guys, and a kidnapping, thefts and overbearing men, but in the end everything wraps up happily.
  There were a couple instances of swearing in this book.
  
  This was not a Christian story and there was no going to church, reading the Bible, or praying.

  A very interesting light romance, easy reading ... but this one especially touched me for reasons I can't explain. Perhaps it was just because I was so overwhelmed with life, it was nice to remember that "spring always comes"

  I was hesitant going into this read. Really did not like the one other book I’ve read by this author. Thankfully, Spring Always Comes was great! Sure, it does have its silly lack of communication and damsel in distress moments. However, some of the communication issues revolve around a lesson that several of the characters are supposed to learn (not thinking you know what is best for other people’s lives).
  
  Fast read, with everyone finding their right match, and a dash of peril to keep the pace moving. Reminiscent of Mary Burchell books.

  A little romance mixed with some light suspense makes a sweet story about a young woman named Connie. Connie is a positive life force who changes the lives of everyone who interacts with her. The story may be improbable but it’s nice to think that such a story could be real.

  I just came across an old book journal of mine, and found a list of the books I had read in my pre-teens - dozens of which were by Emily Baker Loring. I remember clearly reading through the entire collection of her books at the local library, and loving every one - but just how good could they be if I can't remember even one of the stories now? I remember them being romances with some mystery or intrigue - and I couldn't get enough romance ever in those days! I don't know what I would think of them now, and might, out of curiosity, make a trip down to the library again... It's going to take a bit of work to add them all here, and I won't be writing reviews when I can't remember anything about them. I loved them at the time, that's all I know.

  This was an okay Emilie Loring book. I have read better I have read worse.

  Not bad, but the heroine was occasionally disappointing. No true Emilie heroine would cling, sobbing, to the hero at the first sign of danger. Or tamely wait to be rescued rather than fight for herself. Or acknowledge any such limitations as this:

  Over and over, Connie found herself thinking of her father’s idea of building rustic cottages to attract hunters and vacationers, but a man was needed to cope with the details

  You'd think her sons would have been more specific about what kind of books the ghostwriters produced in Emilie's name, but it was entertaining overall.

  I started reading Emile Loring books when I picked up a paperback from a rack in a hotel lobby (for 50 cents) while on my sister's & my yearly vacation to visit my father. Hooked! I went on to purchase and read every Emilie Loring romance written and available in paperback, not knowing, until Goodreads, that she had died before I was even born. I loved these books, but read them all when I was between about 13-14 and perhaps 18 years old - I had favorites and lesser favorites, of course, but I no longer remember which was which. And I was a young reader - so keep that in mind! :-)

  It took me forever to read this book because I didn't want it to be over. I loved, loved, loved Connie. Life threw her lemons and she made lemonade with a twist. She was a woman of character and poise. Sandra and Mr. Kent needed the comeuppance she gave them. I cried and I actually clapped. All of the characters meshed and worked well with the story. Even Nick and that incorrigible crew worked to make the story real. This was the first time read anything by Emilie Loring and I am looking forward to reading more or her writing.

  One of the best writers of the twentieth century
  
  I have been hoping that Emilies books would be put on amazon! I have always been a great fan of hers. Although this book is not one of my favorites, it didn't disappoint.

  I loved this book! I fell in love with all the characters instantly. The plot was good, there were surpises, and I really wish I knew a guy like Jefferson Gray!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  I was in the mood for a light read for a change and this author was recommended recently... I quite liked it - a wholesome romance.
