Morning Glory
ELLY
In town, they called her "Crazy Widow Dinsmore." But Elly was no stranger to their ridicule--she had been an outsider all her life, growing up in a boarded-up old house under the strict eye of her eccentric grandparents. Now she was all alone, with two little boys to raise, and a third child on the way.
WILL
He drifted into Whitney, Georgia, one lazy afternoon in the summer of 1941, hoping to put his lonely past behind him. He yearned for the tenderness he had never known, the home he'd never had. All he needed was for someone to give him a chance.
Then he saw her classified ad: WANTED--A husband. When he stepped across Elly Dinsmore's cluttered yard, Will Parker knew he had come home at last ...
Magnificent!!! One of my all time favorite, desert island, top ten books, ever!!!! I loved, loved, LOVED IT!!! I cried and cried and cried, it was sooooo endearing!!!! A lovely book of love, family, second chances, perseverance and triumph!! (I definitely have a thing for Williams) lol
There are classics in literature, Moby Dick, War and Peace, Oliver Twist and many, many more. I think the romances of yesteryear have their classics too, Pride and Prejudice, Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights and more. Modern day romance not so sure if they have what would be considered classics yet or not, it may be too soon, but if they did, Im sure they would have a book or two by Georgette Heyer, Kathleen Woodiwiss. And then we come to another author who has written some of what I consider
My favourite part about this novel was how slowly things developed. Some readers may not enjoy this and might prefer a more fast-paced novel, but I loved watching as their relationship developed and how mutual need for both turned to companionship and then love. I particularly enjoyed watching as they overcame their insecurities and misgivings. The book is told from more than one POV and during scenes--particularly ones that hold a lot of emotional weight--we see both the inner thoughts of Elly
This was a sweet read. Sad at times. Loved Will. He grew up alone, no family, no friends. Her upbringing was no better. ELLYIn town, they called her "Crazy Widow Dinsmore."

This book is so good, it physically hurts. Definitely my favorite read of 2012.

I loved the characters, I loved their strengths and vulnerabilities, I loved the beginning the most, when I got to know Will and Elly, I loved how they appreciated the little they had, how they appreciated and respected and loved each other. finally decent MCs in a historical romance, finally! I skimmed over the part about the war when I started to lose interest but the story picked up again, the twist presented a great challenge for the relationship between our MCs and was exactly what theyMagnificent!!!
