Summary: Saccharin Heroine
Review: Although I am impressed with the overall story and the way it is written, one of the things I found a bit annoying was how the heroine, Nan Springfield, was almost too-good-to-be-true. Sure she was the daughter of a minister but I don't think that in this day and age, anyone would be such a martyr as she was. I also thought her portrayal as a mother is a bit unrealistic, like she doesn't really scold the kids and she's constantly baking something, with gobs of frosting at that. When she decided to stay in her childhood home despite the threat of flood, I thought that her sentimentality went way overboard. The hero, Harry Woolery was a more believable character. His motivations were sound and most of what he did made sense. Another thing that I think shouldn't have been is the cover of this book. It's showing female legs with a miniskirt when in the story, Nan is nowhere near that mode of dress. It seems misleading. Graphic artists should read the story and it's odd that that rendering was approved.

Summary: Misled and disappointed - this was not an enjoyable read
Review: I enjoyed this book very much, I laughed and cried and I think that makes for a good read. It means the author did a great job of really making feel what the characters in the book are feeling. If you have never read Stephanie Mittman books before, you are really missing out on some great books. She really does write like LaVyrle Spencer.

Summary: Food for the Heart
Review: In an era of entertainment over-saturated with excessive violence and meaningless sexual encounters, Stephanie Mittman's work stands out as a touchstone for those of us who remain dedicated to the more old-fashioned ideals of love, honesty and trust. And yet, through the development of complex characters, she manages to avoid simple platitudes or trite themes. She presents her readers with a modern work reminiscent of a gentle literary past, as refreshing as it is entertaining.

Summary: So-so read
Review: Stephanie Mittman is a wonderful storytelling, delightful romance writer. HEAD OVER HEELS is inspiring...well written. It keeps you on your toes since it's packed with conflict. She did a great job with this tale of Nan and Harry's story bringing them to a fantastic happy ending. And that's what I want in a book. Don't miss this one! Keep up the good work, Stephanie!

Summary: She's done it again - another winner!
Review: Stephanie Mittman's latest, HEAD OVER HEELS, is another winner in her long list of award-winning works and should be a must for romance readers everywhere.

Her imagination, sensitivity and writing skills result in "words on a page that can be wrapped around you like a warm hug." HOH is such a book.

Anyone who still thinks LaVyrle Spencer can't be topped hasn't read Stephanie Mittman.

Summary: absolutely beautiful!
Review: This is one of the loveliest books I've read in a long time. Stephanie Mittman brings her characters to full life. I loved Nan, who had so much love in heart for the children she cared for--she brought tears to my eyes. And Harry was incredibly real--a man with faults who fell in love and gave his entire heart and soul to Nan. The secondary characters were also terrific, as were the very special children. While I loved everything about this book, what I think I liked best was that the characters were just so REAL. I cared about them and what happened to them. I finished this book in one day and it truly touched my heart. Bravo, Ms. Mittman, for a beautiful, beautiful, book.
