Rose Red

I’ve been following Flora Speer since I was an awkward teenager who first discovered romance novels. She’s a master at tenderness and knows how to write a true fairytale hero. With that being said, this wasn’t one of my favorites of this series. That’s not a jab against Ms. Speer—I’m just not a fan of this fairytale, in general. I gave it a shot because Flora wrote it, and it did the job. Her futuristic romances are some of my favorites!

Once upon a time...they lived happily ever after. I HAVE TWO DAUGHTERS, ONE A FLOWER AS PURE AND WHITE AS THE NEW-FALLEN SNOW AND THE OTHER A ROSE AS RED AND SWEET AS THE FIRES OF PASSION. Bianca and Rosalinda were the only treasures left to their mother after her husband, the Duke of Monteferro, was murdered. Fleeing to a remote villa in the shadows of the Alps of Northern Italy, she raised her daughters in hiding and swore revenge on the enemy who'd brought her low. The years passed until one stormy night a stranger appeared from out of the swirling snow, half-frozen and wild, wrapped only in a bearskin. To the entire household, he appeared something different. Was an excellent story line. Two families who have been almost exterminated by the same factions come together. I was totally enthralled with this book. One of the BETTER books I have read...not quite up to the KEEPER status, but very close. I know not everyone likes the same books, but I don't know what book the one reader was reviewing, even bad it deservers more than one star. How can a person review a book if they didn't even finish it. One of the more different and better story lines I have read.

yes a romance novel but a good one. It doesn't just stick sex in random places. They are appropriate and they are not "dirty". Although i wouldn't suggest it for immature people.
