OK story if you're into dull characters and weak plots!
11 May 2010
Format:Mass Market Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I've read this author before and she is inconsistent.
This story comes across as 'staged'. Valentine is a disappointment with his low self-esteem and screwed up perception of himself. His appearance leaves much to be desired and he might as well not have been a 'lord' for all the lack of elegance he displayed.
He is also beyond DENSE! Not much of an expert when he didn't bother to catalogue the roses in his own village!!! Hello?! That was the most likely starting point!
The girl and her grandmother are totally unrealistic and both grate on one's nerves.
It is a very slow moving story. There is some sex and it's OK, but nothing to write home about.
You can easily put this book down and take your time reading it.

Romance writing for beginners
5 July 2010
Format:Mass Market Paperback
To my mind, Sara Bennett has let herself down with this historical romance that feels like it has been written by a 14 year old. Extremely ordinary story, boring characters and I am sorry...a whole book about a quest to find a rose??? Read her earlier medieval books such as Kissing the Bride for Bennett at her best.

A Rose, a husband hunter, a botanist, a villain and a passionate romance make this a 4.5 star read
19 April 2010
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Sara Bennett's second book in the Husband Hunter's club is a real treat. Its heroine is smart and the hero is a bit unexpected, especially for the heroine.
Marissa Rotherhils has made up her mind about who her future husband is going to be, George is perfect for her. Smart Marissa knows she does not want to marry a botanist like her parents or any other scientific, stuffy aristocrat. George is fun loving and humorous and never takes anything seriously. They have much in common, like Marissa George has a serious botanist in the family, his older brother Lord Valentine Kent.
When Marissa arrives at Valentine's home she believes she is to attend a house party, instead she and her very forward bohemian grandmother find George not in residence and there is no scheduled house party but Valentine is there and he is transfixed upon meeting Marissa. She also shares the same feelings.
Valentine is a widower without thought of marrying again; he devotes his spare time to searching for a fabled rose brought back by an ancestor after the crusades. Valentine is a renowned rose expert. He and his friend Jasper (a funny and sweet character) have stumbled onto some leads of the location of the rose when Marissa and her grandmother settle into the house. Unfortunately another man wants to find the rose and Ms Bennett has written a well though out multi-dimensional villain.
This novel was well plotted. I liked Valentines' growing desire and admiration for Marissa. I liked that Marissa was willing to change and not so stubborn that she could not see a good thing right in front of her. Marissa is willing to help Valentine search for his rose but she also wants to explore her feelings and desires with him; she thought she would never be attracted to a botanist. These two have a very passionate romance, they are not afraid to be vulnerable. Her struggle between being with her parent's choice of a mate and her desire to be different even defiant are realistic. Fortunately she realizes that she and Valentine are a great team.
