melissad1975 's review for:

Hummingbird by LaVyrle Spencer
3.0

Closer to a 3.5 rating. I like it pretty well. It definitely had its good points and I liked Spencer's writing, but I had some issues with the hero that were probably mostly a function of the book being published in 1983. He was sexually aggressive with the prim, inhibited heroine in a way that would make a lot of readers in 2016 a little uneasy.

Also, the story dragged on longer than it should have, and I found some of the later chapters -- in which the relationship between the hero and heroine is put on hold while the heroine explores another, much less interesting relationship -- tedious to get through. But I liked it enough (and have fond enough memories of another of her books, [b:Morning Glory|987577|Morning Glory|LaVyrle Spencer|https://d2arxad8u2l0g7.cloudfront.net/books/1313525407s/987577.jpg|3147510]) that I'll give LaVyrle Spencer's other romance novels a try at some point.
