One Red Rose

Her books are awsome! She is one of the top romance writter in my book I have read 17 of Julie Garwood's novels and she astounds me every time I read a new one. I suggest if you want to read this book start with the book "For the Roses" then go onto read "One Pink Rose", "One white Rose", and "One Red Rose" and then read "Come the Spring" These books are all about the Claybourne family and how they strived to survive raising an abandoned baby that they found in New York and turning her into a lady. After their little Mary Rose is grown up and Married to a highland Lawyer named Harrison each brother is tempted by women into settling down will the brothers run or face the destiny that MAMA Rose tricks them into.

Adam Clayborne is a loner who likes his life just the way it is. However, he does not got a prayer of keeping it that way when he crosses paths with the beautiful Genevieve Perry, who he finds lying in his bed. She is his mother's choice to become Adam's bride, but when she makes it plain to Adam that she cannot marry him, Adam goes berserk. When Genevieve sneaks off in the middle of the night, Adam hunts her down, only to discover that she is running away from three men who want to hurt her. .....The Clayborne protective nature is aroused in Adam with a ferocity that astounds even him. He vows no harm will come to his lovely lady, even if it means fighting the vermin who are after her by himself. It is when Adam sees Genevieve in a situation that could leave her dead,that he realize how deep his feelings for her truly go. .....This is the last of the three novellas starring the Clayborne siblings and just like the two previous tales (ONE PINK ROSE AND ONE WHITE ROSE), ONE RED ROSE is an exquisite treat for the senses. Julie Garwood delivers an entertaining and fun filled tale that will satisfy her myriad of fans. She also brilliantly sets the stage for her next full length novel (due out in December), starring the last Clayborne brother Cole and this relationship with the mysterious Marshall that has starred in the three novellas. ....Harriet Klausner
