Hi all,

I have a patron with this request:
"Im looking to find another author who MOST resembles the writing style of
LAVYRLE SPENCER."

As I have never read La Vyrle Spencer, I'm not sure I can fully recommend
titles based on writing style alone. Thanks for any suggestions!

I think Barbara Delinsky is similar in terms of writing style, subject matter, and romance without too much graphic detail or bad language.

I think your patron might like Deborah Smith. Although, she writes
about the south.

Melissa,

The patron might want to try Barbara Delinsky, older books by Sandra
Brown, Kristin Hannah, and some titles by Debbie Macomber.

Well, now that the barn door has closed, I will add the following. I
find my homebound patrons who enjoyed Spencer have also liked Jean
Stone, LuAnne Rice (esp later titles), Susan Wiggs' titles from the last
couple of years, Deborah Smith, Mary Alice Monroe (most have loved Beach
House), and Barbara Bretton.

PS. Hope to meet see some of you at PLA next week! :-)

Your patron may like Dorothy Garlock if she enjoys Spencer's historical
romances.
