Spend My Life with You

This is a great romance novel. It makes you believe in happily ever after. The story of Preston and Lee Ann was captivating.

[Gabriela Bolaina · Rating 4 out of 5]

Mi vida a tu lado es una novela historica, Amelia pertenecia a una familia con costumbres tradigionales,conservadora,con bastantes convencionalismos sociales y con muchos perjuicios religiosos. Era la menor de una familia numerosa sujeta a la competencia exagerada de sus hermanas,que siempre trataban de relajar.
Amelia tenia a su novio Fernando pero los padres de amelia no lo aceptaban por ser de clase baja, eso no le importo a Amelia y suguieron juntos aun con sus padres disgustados.

A great beginning

I absolutely loved it. I’m always apprehensive reading things that have a setting in my city and/or state but Donna Hill wrote it with such accuracy and reverence. I love this family and can’t wait to continue this series

Good read

Writing was superior, as I have experienced from the author. A good beginning to what I anticipate an engaging series. Was satisfied by the character, "Lee Ann" started living. Was happy to read about, "Rafe" from the (Sag Harbor Village).

Lee Ann was getting on my damn nerves. Your siblings are grown as hell and can take care of themselves.

Enjoyed the characters

Political romance no pun intended

Lee Ann and Preston... different backgrounds but brought together through political parties. In this story you see what it takes to make it work despite family and career. Lee Ann being the eldest daughter had a lot on her shoulders. As she comes into her own, and shed the insecurities, it leads to a passion and purpose like none other. Preston being the Alpha male was just what Lee Ann needed. He was a junior senator with integrity and purpose. He had the zest that Lee Ann needed. The Lawson being a close net family brought an interesting dynamics to how Lee Ann and Preston would finally get to their own happily ever after.

Spend My Life With You (Lawson's Of Louisiana) Book 1

Lee Ann Lawson has been taking care of her father and her brothers and sisters since her mom passed away. She has hardly taken time out for herself, that is until she meets Senator Preston Graham.

He has shown her that while taking care of her family, it's okay to have a life of her own. As they spend more and more time together, they fall in love and realize that they are willing to do whatever it takes to be together, even if that means Lee Ann has to leave her family to be with the man she loves. Read: April 2016

I thought the book was ok, pretty predictable though. Man and woman meet, fall in love, then something happens to pull them apart, then they realize they are meant for each other and get married. I will mention that it was nice that the characters actually dated over a period of time, and didn't fall in love and marry after a month. If you're an avid romance reader, and don't want to read the same ole' romance novel skip this one. I've read much better from Donna Hill.

Politics, back-room solutions, mysterious relationships. Lee Ann Lawson and Junior Senator Preston Graham meet at a thousand dollar plate raiser. Electricity sparks when they touch. Lee Ann the glue that holds her family together, their primary care-giver has put her dreams on hold for her family. Preston coming out of a troubled relationship never saw what hit him when he met Lee Ann. Passion is hot, sensual, irresistible, one day at a time.

[Destiny “ Dee” · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was a cute romance book. Lee Ann's story is like many older females of the family. They end up taking care of everyone else except themselves.Preston was an intelligent man who didn't take no for an answer. Together, they explored what love really was and where to take their relationship once they discovered it.

Love & Honesty

The honesty displayed by both Lee Ann and Preston as people just trying to find love is refreshing. Our past affects our present. If we don't confront it truthfully and deal with it, what is our future?

Cute and sweet

I love the Lawson's of Louisiana. They are a great Southern family with great Southern traditions. It is all about Family and learning to branch out on your own.
