This past weekend, I read another historical romance by LaVyrle Spencer -- called "THE ENDEARMENT" and this is by far my favorite of the ones I've read of hers so far. Like others said, you hated for it to end: it was that enjoyable. I was hoping it would continue on and tell me what happened to them later on in their lives. Also being part Irish, it was fun that the heroine was also of Irish decent. She had a terrible upbringing, so you really wanted her to make out good in the end ...
