Format:Mass Market Paperback
This is another of the first romance novels I ever read. It was about 9 or 10 years ago when I first read this book and every year it gets read at least once!
Ms Brandewyne's ability to create real and believable characters is first rate! Although sometimes the hero is not the kind of man you would like today, once you know a little of the history of the time you realise how true to life the characters are. The chemistry between the hero and heroine just leaps off the page!!
Definitely worth reading if you love historical romance novels. (It only took me two days!!)

A MUST READ
25 Nov 2002
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This book, along with "Love,Cherish Me", is one of her best novels. Again, I read this novel years ago and remember it still. Isabelle, the main character, is small but determined, and has a rare gift healing wounded animals. This comes in handy as she is forced to wed a man she doesn't love, who is so scarred mentally that a lot of healing must be done! Warrick, the male lead was complicated, wounded but yet appealing. As they fall in love it is magical. They go through years of adversity and pain, but love gets them through it all. I was moved to tears through some of their problems. The backdrop of the War of the Roses puts them on opposite sides, and almost ruins everything. However, the ending is marvelous. The story is told as a flashback and then back to the present time of the book's beginning. RB has done wonderful research and the backdrop of the book is so descriptive. Buy it if you can find it. I'll never forget this one.

Well researched
22 Mar 2006
Format:Hardcover
I don't normally care much for the romance genre, but I picked up this book because it was set in the period of the War of the Roses, which I have read extensively about. Though this book has the sappy/cheesy/romantic claptrap that one would expect from the title and cover, it has a wealth of historical detail and was obviously very well researched. I recommend it highly for any history buff.

smells like a rose to me
22 Sep 2000
Format:Paperback
Rebecca Brandewyne is a gifted writer and a great historian. Set in the time of Edward IV and Richard III, Brandewyne writes a convincing and passionate story of a deep and endless love between a young, orphaned, Yorkist girl and an embittered, half-Welsh Lord. Brandewyne brings the characters to life in her haunting, lyrical prose. If you enjoy a beautiful romance, you must read Rose of Rapture! Although it is out of print for now, I would highly recommend looking for the book in a zshop or auction.
