For the Roses

Additional For the Roses Information

The Clayborne brothers were a rough gang of street urchins -- until they found an abandoned baby girl in a New York City alley, named her Mary Rose, and headed to Blue Belle, Montana, to raise her to be a lady. They became a family -- held together by loyalty and love if not blood -- when suddenly a stranger threatened to tear them apart...Lord Harrison Stanford MacDonald brandished a six-shooter and a swagger, but he soon proved to be a gentleman to the core. The brothers taught him frontier survival, while Mary Rose touched his heart with a deep and desperate passion. But soon, a shattering secret would challenge everything Mary Rose believed about herself, her life, and her newfound love.

What Customers Say About For the Roses:

The characters and scenes were very well developed and I almost felt like I had gone back in time. I laughed, cried, and sighed. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to lose themselves in a great story. This is the first Julie Garwood book I read. I was hooked by the very first page and the novel only got better from there.

The book has a very creative premise, but I felt like the author was just rushing to fill pages toward the end. There were so many people "talking" at once, that it became had to follow the storyline. This book really had potential. All of the character descriptions and dialogue began well.then, it just fizzled.

The entire storyline concerning Eleanor was annoying and should have been deleted entirely. but I just didn't. Garwood's credit, there were several lines that made me laugh out loud, but overall it was not a book that I would recommend. To Ms. While better than many of the romance novels I've read, it just didn't live up to the hype. I found it overly long and much of the conversation was silly, inane, or downright boring.

Thanks. This book was in great condition. It arrived sooner than I expected which made me very happy - great service.

This is a book with detailed, distinctive characters. Each character has a pivotal role in the whole of the story. Often when I finish a book, I immediately forget all of the characters names. That is a testament in Garwood's ability to craft individual characters - not generic ones.This is just a great story.

All of these stages add up to an intriguing story well worth the read. The book progresses in stages: the first being the discovery of the baby and then the discovery of Mary Rose by the hero. Next is the return to England and the changes and struggles that Mary Rose goes through there. It wasn't so much about the romance as it was about the story and the family. And finally, the return to the states and the trial. You will learn to love the four brothers (Adam, Douglas, Cole and Travis)in this story, as well as the hero and heroine.

Next is the development of the relationships of the hero Harrison with Mary Rose and with her brothers and with the people of the town of Blue Belle. Worthy and recommended read. Not so in this one. The focus is on the heroine and her "family" of brothers, not just on the heroine and hero.
