But Alex hasn't been to church s...more

This book is about fate happening. Alex and Jane met at a restaurant where Alex was working. Jane was on a date with another guy and he was being rude to her. Alex stood up for her and helped her out. After that, that hadn't seen each other. Then they met at one of Jane's dance classes that Alex was filling in for and he ended up being Jane's partner. After that, they kept dating and eventually got married and had three kids. Then they found out that their little boy, Barrett, has cancer, Alex f...more
I go this book from my friends Mom because all of us enjoy reading the same types of book and last time I was over there she gave me a few that she thought I would enjoy as she did, which so far I have. It was a well written book and made me cry on a few occasion while reading it. It is probably one of those books that I will actually read again if I have it in my possession and I have nothing else to read. If your one of those people who likes reading books about religion, love, hardships, and...more
This book was a fun LDS romance. It's a little on the cheesy side, but all in all a good book. There was just a touch too much of "I love you!" , "No I love you more!" , "No I love you more!" Ack! :) But it was still fun to read - I didn't want to put it down. Definitely a chick book. I got a little frustrated with the main characters stubbornness at times, but I still enjoyed it.

I read enough Anita Stansfield books as a youth to pretty much know how this book was going to go: two people meet and fall in love; one has a "past"; one, usually the guy, struggles with his faith, and one, usually the girl, is insurmountably patient; a tragic event happens about halfway through the book, which causes one or more people to change miraculously; and everyone lives happily ever after. After that you can expect a sequel, which takes place a few blissful years later, which involves...more
This is an LDS book about Jane (an active member in the church) and Alex (an inactive member in the church) and their relationship. Jane will only be married in the temple, so she waits for Alex to be ready. They both go through some different experiences, but Alex struggles the most because of his past. Alex has a dream of sorts (I think the dream and ancestor stuff was out of place - it totally could have been skipped) and there's a death and an accident (I won't say more) that allows him to o...more
I love this gripping story between two young people who love each other immensely and want to be together but must ubstain to the teachings and councel of their religion. I love the charcter plots and the setting of the story! I absolutely worship Anita Stansfield and her creativity. Her books come alive when I read them. I often ponder deeper meanings of the gospel of Jesus Christ when I am reading her books. Her novels tend to incorporate many different themes that plague and also benefit my b...more
A student, who had read all of Anita Stansfield's novels, told me this was the very best series of all of her books. I am still on my crusade to overcome my prejudice against LDS fiction and I am purposefully sampling many authors. That said, I did read this book and it was a nice story but I did not get completely into it. I don't think I will read further in the series nor any of the other Stansfield books (since this is the best series and I wasn't taken with it). I don't think these are my k...more
Many people I know enjoy this author so after hating one of her books I thought I would give one more a try. I have now decided I will never read another Stansfield book. This was torture. I found myself so angry at the lead character. I thought she was weak and annoying and the love story was horrible. I think she should have left him after a few months but she sticks around for years putting up with his crap. I would recommend avoiding this book.

I'm not a big one for Anita Stansfield's books, because they are usually SO SAPPY, but this one was right for a 5 hr car ride with a bunch of HS girls for a school ballroom dance trip. It was perfect for that. It was still sappy, but we were prepared for that. I would have given this book a 3 1/2 stars if that were possible, because some of it was very predictable, but it did have some fun unexpected twists. Sweet story.
I am a romantic at heart so how could I not enjoy a clean LDS romance from Anita Stansfield? It was a sweet story but it felt dated to me. She always seems to have her characters talk with one another in such "Little House on the Prairie" ways and sometimes that really annoys me and makes me think that the story must be dated because who seriously talks like that?
This book is pretty much like every other Anita Stansfield book. Why do anything different from the standard formula if the formula h...more

Great book to pass the time when your stuck on the couch way too much. Good old romantic with firm convictions of the LDS church--I get chills cause I know it's true too. I just love that true love and happy marriage is protrayed in the most perfect way. Love fairytales, but I also believe it can happen. This book even has intense moments--loved it!
I enjoy reading Anita Stansfield's books. Sometimes they get a little silly and repetitive, but for some reason they are just real enough to life that I can relate with the characters and trials in their lives. I like to see how they overcome their challenges and become stronger by going through them.
I actually read this series years ago and was just recently thinking about how much I disliked the entire series. It was just too much. Since reading these books I have not been able to read any of Her other books, I just can't put myself through torture like that again.
This is my second time reading this book. It's the first book of a series, there are 4 books total! I absolutely love it! Not only because I enjoy dancing and it has dancing in it, but it is such an uplifting love story! It's written by an LDS author which I love as well.
This is the first book in a series about two people who fall in love. This story has romance, dancing, laugh out loud moments, and very serious moments. If you like romance and are LDS I would highly recommend reading this, it is definitely one of my favorite books.

I loved this series! It completely pulls you in and makes you feel like you are inside the characters world. She makes her characters so easy to relate to. I like how she applies gospel principles to make you think about your own spirituality.
I think I have found a new author to delve into. I liked this one, and I hear her books can be quite addicting (in a healthy way, not like some of our addictions to Edward). So if you have any recommendations for her other books, let me know!

I cried when he totaled the Ferrari, not for the reason you would think. I mourned the loss of the car! (hahah but the book was so good! but don't read the rest of the series unless you like dark, depressing, then happy the last chapter)
Had to get used to Stansfield's storytelling. The intricate detail at times, then skipping over years with hardly a mention...just for starters... I liked it enough to continue reading the series- and yes, it made me cry.
My friend lent this to me when I was out of things to read the other day. I thought it was pretty good, and it was a fast read. Some parts were a little too unrealistic for my liking, but it was clean, which is appreciated!
It was good, but at the same time weird and not very life like. And it made me mad. Who waits four years for someone who really isn't doing anything to be closer to God or forgiveness?
This is a different series of hers, but one I liked almost as well as the Michael & Emily series. Lots of challenges to overcome and very good advice on how to do so.
Timeless Waltz was a fascinating book. I loved the way that two people of different beliefs can come together and finally be together throughout eternity.
Slow beginning, and as always, predictable. But once I got to the 7th chapter, I couldn't put it down!!! Love the characters, love the love story. Great book!
A definite read for anyone that is LDS and likes romance novels. The main character is a doctor, in case anyone likes to read about doctor stuff too! :)
Oh my gosh . . . I cannot begin to say how much I LOVE this book!! It is beyond amazing!! I can't tell you how many times I've read this book!!

I loved this book. It was written by an lds author and of course it was clean. I loved this love story! It was sad but I loved the happy ending!
I really enjoyed this book. especially the ending. I think i cried a little. and just kept telling Billy how much I loved him afterwards!
First book was amazing and cute!! But this is one of those series that it gets a little more boring with each sequal. Slightly cheesy.
