Search - November of the Heart

I must have liked it, I hung on to it for many years. But I did like most of this author's historical fiction...she was a jewel among writers. "...a lakeside resort in the breezy summer of 1895, where love bloomed for two hearts from different worlds..."

1895 in Minnesota a rich girl falls for a mere laborer. The girls parents do anything and everything to keep them apart.

This is one of the best books I've ever read! Wonderfully written! LOVED IT!

Never read a LaVryle Spencer book I didn't like. I wasn't disappointed in this one either.

Love her storys

Set in Minnesota in 1895.

Spencer never disappoints, and this book was another one that I hated for it to end! Lovely story!

Lorna Barnett was from a wealthy St. Paul family; summers were spent at their 2nd home, where her father was absorbed in his yacht racing, her sisters taken by the latest hairstyles. But at 18, Lorna wanted more...Jens Harken was an odd-jobs man, hired to serve and be silent. But he dared to offer his services as a shipbuilder and be commissioned by Lorna's father to build a racing yacht. And as he entered the Barnett's privileged world, his heart fell for Lorna's sweet innocent beauty. But as summer turned to fall, they weathered the tumult of a scandal that would change their lives forever - and shake the boundaries of a world of rigid expectations and unspoken desires.

Another wonderful book from LaVyrle Spencer--I loved it so much I read it twice!

When handsome kitchen hand and boat builder Jens Harken audaciously offers to build his employer a regatta-winning yacht, he draws the attention of the master's daughter. Budding beauty Lorna Barnett, disturbingly attracted to Jens despite the restrictions of 19th-century Minnesota's high society, helps him get his chance by breaking down her father's arrogant resistance to new ideas. As the boat takes shape, Jens and Lorna give in to an ill-advised, impossible love that nearly results in a scandal and ultimately requires Lorna to risk the only life she has ever known for the life she really wants.
