Roan Rose

Publication Date: October 1, 2013

Books We Love, Ltd.

Formats: eBook, Paperback

Genre: Historical Fiction

READ AN EXCERPT.

Loyalty Binds Her.

More like a gangland war for turf and loot than chivalry, the War of Roses disrupted the life of the English commoners for hundreds of years. Roan Rose is the story of one of them, a girl born on the Yorkshire dales. When the Countess of Warwick decides to take sturdy, gentle Rose to Middleham Castle to be companion and bed-time poppet for her youngest daughter, Anne, her fate is changed forever. Rose bears intimate witness to the passions, betrayals, battles and all the reversals of fortune which will shape her lady’s life—and her own. Anne Neville will briefly become a Queen, and Richard, Rose’s secret love, will become a King, one whose name has become synonymous with evil. When her King is betrayed and slain at Bosworth Field, Rose returns to a peasant’s hard life. She has one final service to perform.

Hand-Me-Down Bride

Publication Date: October 26, 2013

Books We Love, Ltd.

eBook; ASIN: B00G8OYHFG

Genre: Historical Romance

To help her impoverished family, Sophie agrees to marry a wealthy older man in far off America. Less than twenty-four hours after she arrives in German’s Mill, Pennsylvania, events have taken a far stranger turn than anything she could have imagined.

Set in Post-Civil War Pennsylvania, this tale of an arranged marriage gone wrong is as much family saga as it is a romance. Sophie is a sensitive young woman trying to make sense of her past and to understand the unfamiliar ways of her new homeland. Karl Joe is not only a veteran of the great war, but scarred by the secret violence of his privileged childhood. How they learn to trust each other and how they discover love is the beating heart of this old time story.

My Review

Five Stars

Copy received from Historical Fiction Virtual Book Tour for an honest review

This is one of those books that stays with you after your done reading. I really enjoyed "Hand-Me-Down -Bride" by Juliet Waldron. There were so many beautiful and heart-aching moments. Sophie was a great heroine. She had so many wonderful qualities it was impossible not to feel bad for her and champion for her as she finds herself alone in a country that is not hers, with a recently deceased husband.

Karl, her deceased husband's older son, was so layered and complex. I thought the author really captured the vulnerability that he faced as a soldier. He's personal demons and his outer conflict were sad to see unfold but at the same time it made him that much more a hero. He and Sophie were a great couple.

The historical background, Post-Civil- War Pennsylvania was a great time to focus on. There was still so much instability and doubt surrounding the time in American history. I really enjoyed this beautiful story and the only thing that made me happier than reading it is knowing I have another story to read by this author.
