Weathered Too Young

Marcia Lynn McClure (Goodreads Author)
Lark Lawrence was alone. In all the world there was no one who cared for her. Still, there were worse things than independence -- and Lark had grown quite capable of providing for herself. Nevertheless, as winter loomed, she suddenly found herself with no means by which to afford food and shelter -- destitute.
Yet Tom Evans was a kind and compassionate man. When Lark Lawren

Yu-uh-meeeeeeeeeeeee! Another great MLM book. It's like calgon, take me away. I don't have to think really hard. I just relax, read, drift away and at the end I feel good. Love always conquers. (and the kissing along the way really helps)
Mmmm, mmmm, good! A handsome hardworking cowboy and a strong heroine who doesn't realize her worth. Pages and pages of fantastic kissing. A relaxing lazy stroll through bliss. I love Marcia's books!
Second Read Nov 2010: I've been on a McClure kick lately, her books are just a lot of fun and has some great kissing!! Anyway, I enjoyed this one a lot more the second time around. I love Lark and especially Slater. And of course Tom, which means I'm going to have to read his story next!!

This was a fantastic western romance with a little of everything in it. It is a prequel to "Windswept Flame" but neither book requires that you read the other to have understanding of the story line. Slater and Lark's story is great, I'm sure I will read it again.

There is nothing like curling up with one of McClure's books in an evening! Yummy!! I love the way Marcia describes here heroes in her books and this one has to be one of my favorites!! There is two rough and rugged cowboys that decide to take-in young Lark when she shows up on their doorstep looking for work and a place to stay for winter! The older of the Slater boys is not too thrilled with the idea of Lark working there especially when he can't seem to get her out of his mind!!

I actually won the sequel to this story a while back in a contest and it was the first Marcia McClure book I had ever owned, though I had been fortunate enough to have borrowed some from a relative prior to winning that book. I decided that I better go back and read the first one, since I loved the second one too.
This book did not disappoint. I loved getting to hear Slater and Lark's story. It was a deliciously spun tale of second guessing one's self, and finding that love doesn't always fall in...more

I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this book.
I had a hard time putting it down. I like to read to relax before going to bed, but this book kept me wide awake turning the pages and then obsessing over it, making it impossible to sleep.
This is a love story. Lark comes to the Evans home looking for work, and a way to stay warm, because winter is around the corner. Tom Evans hires her, but it is his older brother Slater who captures her heart.

This has become my new favorite MLM book. It may be because I relate with the characters. Without wanting to give anything away, Slater is my kind of MAN...really! And Lark has guts...the sassy little thing (maybe I'm a little like her...?)
Ok...my friend likes this author and if you are in the mood for a cheesy clean romance..this will fill your ticket. I think I've never been too much of a romance novel reader...or I tend to veer torwards the tween novels for that since I can put myself mentally back in high school, but for some reason I just can't get into these books. It's the books you giggle about and know the plot 2 minutes into reading. I also had issues with the trendy names or something...slater and lark were the main cha...more
It's been a while since I've read a Marcia Lynn McClure novel and it was so good to read this one. I love the way she writes!
Lark needs a place to stay for the winter, she is running out of options, with no job and no money she takes a job cooking and cleaning for two bachelors, Slater and Tom Evans. Their longtime housekeeper passed away and they had been trying to cook and clean, and run their ranch by themselves.

Such a cute, romantic cowboy story!! Lark has no one and is trying to find a place to stay for the winter. No one in town is hiring, but a cowboy directs her to two brothers, who just lost their housekeeper/cook. The one brother hires her right away and the adventure begins. Loved it!!
Read this before reading The Windswept Flame.
I liked not knowing Lark or Slater's secret pasts until the end of the book. They were both a surprise to me and made for a great ending. Younger brother, Tom, is such a sweetheart and I am glad he got his own book - The Windswept Flame. I had several favorite scenes. One that stands out is when Lark sneaks out the back, is found, and taken to the barn. That was a good scene. I also enjoyed the bantering between the brothers at dinner-time. The Christ...more

I have read this book several times and love it each time. I love Slater Evans! He's seems like such a grump but he's had a hard life so I don't blame him. Lark Lawrence sweet and caring person. Love the little twist in it. Marcia is awesome!
I read the smaller ebook and gave it four stars. Marcia just came out with the full novel and I loved it. I really liked the changes that she made and of course the additions. Way better then the ebook (which was still really good).
There hasn't been a single book that I have not loved of Marcia Lynn Mcclure. I recommend any and all of her books.
I love Marcia's books. I love the way she takes fables and fairy tales and puts a modern twist to them.
I enjoyed reading this sweet romance. It is not my favorite MLM book, but I will read it again for sure.
Love it! Many changes (for the better) from the e-book version! Can't wait to read it again!
Yea!!! I love reading her books. I can't wait for the other half of the story.
I love Marcia's style. Very good story line. Lots of typos though.
Another fun romance! Love the cowboy books!
Another awesome book by Marcia!
AMAZING!!!!!

Loved it
I loved the story and the plot. Even though it's a clean read I grew weary of her wanting him to kiss her (every page) and him wanting to bed her (every other page)but practicing mammoth self restraint. Also, for a man who was a legendary Texas Ranger he sure got faked out by a greenhorn outlaw and a veteren crazy he'd already spent a long time bringing to Yuma. Still, I enjoyed the read and the character development beyond the frequent comments to hold their harmones at bay.
I picked this out hoping for a good olden days love story. I saw it on a "clean romance" list. There wasn't any sex in it, so it was technically clean. It wasn't a horrible book but it was trying to hard to be a "romance" novel without being a "romance". There were just a few too many moments of "yearning" for my taste. Don't get me wrong I like a good love story but this was just a little to saturated in it and forced for my tastes.
I got this book today in the mail and decided to read it. My nook/phone and computer have really been hurting my eyes and I wanted a paperback.
This was a really really good one. I would have liked Slater to remain aloof a little longer but other than that this was a great read. I liked Larks little secret, there at the end. I knew it had to be something like that, but it was surprising. A fun, fast paced, greatly entertaining read!

Born in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Marcia Lynn McClure grew up influenced by the reminiscent stories of rugged, rural Colorado farm life fascinatingly recounted to her by her parents, grandparents, uncles and aunts…tales of runaway buckboards, mule-drawn plows and dust pneumonia; verbalized images of stream-flooded meadows, frozen over in winter, where a child could peer through the crystal clear ic...more
