contains rape
That Camden Summer contains a vicious rape scene. I will never buy another book by this author. I do not read romance novels for violence. And to think she writes Harlequin romances!

That Camden Summer
This was a "romp", which I thoroughly enjoyed and hated to see it come to an end.

Tearjerking, Addictive & a Definite Keeper...
Description from the back of book:

The year is 1916.The place is a tiny New England village called Camden - where a newly divorced woman learns that love can be more special the second time around...

When free thinking divorcee Roberta Jewett returns to her hometown of Camden, Maine, she discovers that small-town folk consider a divorced woman little more that a prostitute.Condemned by her mother and scorned by neighbors, she nonetheless perseveres in her struggle to forge a good life for her little girls and herself.Behaving like no "respectable" woman would, she gets a job as a county nurse, learns to drive, and buys her very own Model T.Embittered by her painful marriage to an unfaithful husband, she has no intention of being any man's victim again.So when widowed carpenter Gabriel Farley begins work renovating her house, Roberta's first response to him is blatant resentment.But Gabriel's quiet, vibrant masculinity soon finds a way to soothe Roberta's heart.

And in the ultimate test of will and devotion, she must depend on the man she has grown to love and summon the courage to stand up to the entire town.

* This book was so great.I can't tell you how many times it brought tears to my eyes.I couldn't put it down & it's a definite keeper.The story is wonderful & sad at times but Roberta doesn't let the bad things overrule the life she's worked so hard to keep exciting for her girls.I don't see how anybody wouldn't love this book.I HIGHLY recommend.

It was good, just not amazing.
I can't exactly pinpoint why I didn't LOVE this book.I guess it took a long time for me to start to like Roberta. I thought she was too abrasive at first to Gabe, who was sweet, strong and understanding (a trademark of Spencer's men it seems), but it was still a good story.

Awesome reading!
This was one of the "newer" novels from Ms. Spencer I read and I was a little hesitant because it was newer..But so far I have read this book TWICE and would read it again in a heartbeat. I always like writers who can pull a reader into the book or novel to the point you see yourself there. That is what happens with this one. I traveled back in time and lived with Roberta and the kids and laughed and cried with them. I would have to say the most enjoyable parts of the book were when Roberta wanted to buy a car (how scandalous!!) and her first driving lesson. This is a love story, but it is also an adventure. Buy this, you will enjoy it. ... Read more

Product Description
Even in a community where unsavory reputations were the rule, Mick Kennedy's saloon was of evil repute. In a land new and wild, his establishment was the wildest, partook most of the unsubdued, unevolved character of its surroundings. There, as irresistibly as gravitation calls the falling apple, came from afar and near--mainly from afar--the malcontent, the restless, the reckless, seeking--instinctively gregarious--the crowd, the excitement of the green-covered table, the temporary oblivion following the gulping of fiery red liquor.

Great splendid animals were the men who gathered there; hairy, powerful, strong-voiced from combat with prairie wind and frontier distance; devoid of a superfluous ounce of flesh, their trousers, uniformly baggy at the knees, bearing mute testimony to the many hours spent in the saddle; the bare unprotected skin of their hands and faces speaking likewise of constant contact with sun and storm.

By the broad glow of daylight the place was anything but inviting. The heavy bar, made of cottonwood, had no more elegance than the rude sod shanty of the pioneer. The worn round cloth-topped tables, imported at extravagant cost from the East, were covered with splashes of grease and liquor; and the few fly-marked pictures on the walls were coarsely suggestive. Scattered among them haphazard, in one instance through a lithographic print, were round holes as large as a spike-head, through which, by closely applying the eye, one could view the world without. When the place was new, similar openings had been carefully refilled with a whittled stick of wood, but the practice had been discontinued; it was too much trouble, and also useless from the frequency with which new holes were made. Besides, although accepted with unconcern by _habitues_ of the place, they were a source of never-ending interest to the "tenderfeet" who occasionally appeared from nowhere and disappeared whence they had come.

But at night all was different. Encircling the room with gleaming points of light were a multitude of blazing candles, home-made from tallow of prairie cattle. The irradiance, almost as strong as daylight, but radically different, softened all surrounding objects. The prairie dust, penetrating with the wind, spread itself everywhere. The reflection from cheap glassware, carefully polished, made it appear of costly make; the sawdust of the floor seemed a downy covering; the crude heavy chairs, an imitation of the artistic furniture of our fathers. Even the face of bartender Mick, with its stiff unshaven red beard and its single eye,--merciless as an electric headlight,--its broad flaming scar leading down from the blank socket of its mate, became less repulsive under the softened light.

With the coming of Fall frosts, the premonition of Winter, the frequenters of the place gathered earlier, remained later, emptied more of the showily labelled bottles behind the bar, and augmented when possible their well-established reputation for recklessness. About the soiled tables the fringe of bleared faces and keen hawk-like eyes was more closely drawn. The dull rattle of poker-chips lasted longer, frequently far into the night, and even after the tardy light of morning had come to the rescue of the sputtering stumps in the candlesticks.

Le livre consiste d'articles Wikipedia sur : Herbert Spencer, Leslie Banks, Reg Parnell, John Wetton, Joseph Wright of Derby, Jack O'connell, Chris Riggott, Geoff Hoon, Mitchell Hanson. Non illustré. Mises à jour gratuites en ligne. Extrait : Herbert Spencer (Derby 27 avril 1820 - 8 décembre 1903) est un philosophe et sociologue anglais. Issu d'une famille de radicaux, il fut très tôt intéressé par les questions politiques. C'est pourquoi il s'affilia à de nombreuses associations. Il devint ainsi membre de l'Anti-Corn Law League, fondée par Richard Cobden. S'il se fit connaître comme sociologue, il exerça cependant la profession d'ingénieur des chemins de fer. Collaborant à The Economist, il rédigea de nombreux ouvrages originaux, dont les Social Statics (1850), fort inspirés par l'utilitarisme benthamien, A Theory of Population (1852), où il contestait le catastrophisme de Thomas Malthus, ou encore ses Principles of Psychology (qu'il commença en 1855). Sa grande œuvre consista en l'élaboration des Principles of Sociology (dont la publication s'étala de 1876 à 1897). Toute sa vie, Spencer fut un ennemi de la guerre et de l'impérialisme : c'est pourquoi il s'opposa à la guerre hispano-américaine de 1898 et qu'il tenta de fonder une Ligue contre l'agression. Connu comme l'un des principaux défenseurs de la théorie de l'évolution au siècle, sa réputation à l'époque rivalisait avec celle de Charles Darwin. Spencer est d'ailleurs l'auteur de l'expression "sélection des plus aptes", qu'il mettait en rapport avec la sélection naturelle de Darwin. Il a notamment étudié l'extension de cette notion à des domaines comme la philosophie, la psychologie et la sociologie, dont il est reconnu comme l'un des fondateurs. Sa théorie fut appelée postérieurement "darwinisme social", o...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ... Read more
