Shelves: 00-own-read, x2017
Wow!!!!! I absolutely loved this book..im so ashamed that it sat on my shelf for so many years. I absolutely loved the characters and there were so many twists and turns I didn't know what was coming next. It's a long one but so worth the time!!!! Amazing book. I can't wait to keep reading in the series. ...more

Awesome book!
The Tea Rose didn't have a lot of "historical detail" which I like to have in my reads, but in this story it worked here.
The book is very character driven, (in my opinion) but it was a non stop, hard to put down, full of surprises and twists and turns, the plot was fast paced and never dragged and I spent many nights reading late into the night.
A must read!

Tremendously vivid, interesting and gripping in many ways. You become very engaged with the characters and many times want to wring the author's neck for a twist! Yes, the overall plot is a bit far fetched but still possible. The author tied in several historical elements in interesting ways. In length... Realistically could have been 3 books! Overall good, satisfying read. ...more
