These are old-fashioned love stories. Some are tales of childhood sweethearts, some of older long-married couples who rediscover their love for each other, some involve the traditional "boy meets girl, gets married, happily ever after" scenario. All are sweet and rather innocent, compared to many stories today. They re-affirmed my faith in humanity and the ability of humans to love in a pure romantic way. I suppose your enjoyment of these stories will be linked to what you are looking for in a book of old-fashioned love stories -- I adored these. I suppose I could add, you would be comfortable giving this collection to your grandmother, or reading it to your children. There are a few classics in here, too, such as Appointment With Love, and Johnny Lingo's Eight-Cow wife. I highly recommend this collection.Here are the stories:1. Appointment With Love, by S.J.

I purchased this book to find a story I had been looking for for a while, and got much more. Some of the best love stories around. (true ones) Not only that, I got it at a great price, and it was in excellent condition. The seller shipped it prompty. Would definetly do business with them again.

I love anything Joe Wheeler compiles and this book is now one of my favorites. I liked the price too.

I was very dissapointed with this book. I bought two because my girlfriend and I read a story together every night, but this book left us wondering how the story was actually a love story. These stories can hardly be considered of love, two or three of them are kinda nice, but most have depressing endings involving rejected proposals or mostly death. Dont be confused by the word love in the title, since its not what the stories are about.

Have 14 Joe Wheeler books. Have never let one get by me. Thanks for this addition. mary ellen
