Yet, George is not a warm hero. I spent a while wondering where the romance was going to bloom. Rose is a strong woman, who endured much to claim this family and to mold George into a loving husband. But she does it.

Paperback Editions

This was my first read by Leigh Greenwood who is actually a male , and I was impressed. It's a good romance novel, but also a good western. There are a lot of lessons about family in this story. The Randolphs are very real, not prettied up. They fight like cats and dogs, and say ugly things to each other. But somehow it made the story more interesting. This might not appeal to all romance novel readers, but I sure did enjoy Rose. It started off an excellent series that I read from beginning to end. View all 11 comments. Oct 21, sraxe rated it did not like it Shelves: A major factor in my dropping this book is the instalove and the "romance" in it.

Soon after they've met and he's recruited her to work for him, she's all "perilously close to falling in love with him. You've known the guy for barely a full day. And then later when he says he wants to be in the army rather than marry and have children, she's all heartbroken and "disheartened" and "lost" and "like a ship whose rudder had been wrenched off in a collision with a hidden shoal" and that "her future yawned before her, empty and somehow dangerous. You've known the guy for two days. Later she's all that she's "aware that her determination not to marry an army man was growing weaker.

The whole relationship so far feels so forced and Rose is so overly presumptuous about marrying George and things to do with George. George, too, was all instaloving over her and it just had me rolling my eyes. The entire "love" aspect of this novel felt so inorganic to me. There was absolutely no chemistry between the leads and it didn't feel at all real or believable. With that, all the moments and interactions with George and Rose felt overly forced and because there was so much dedicated to them it felt overly saturated.

A lot of it was also the author telling us rather than showing. This contributed to the forced factor of the entire "relationship" and I feel it took away from the book and my enjoyment of it. I enjoyed the moments with the family and those interactions but I hated anything and everything to do with the two protagonists. I think the author thought she was putting in sexual tension or pining but I didn't see any of that. Maybe if we'd been able to see the two main protagonists before they met one another -- seen their lives before the other came into it Right from the very beginning we have Rose checking George out as he walks into the restaurant.

I was being told rather than shown all these things about their instalove. Their entire romance feels as though they're being forced together--like I said, inorganic--rather than allowing two characters to come together naturally. View all 6 comments.

When she arrives, the place is a pigsty, and wonders how any of them could live like this. There is George, the oldest. Then there is Jeff, the twins: Monty and Hen, Tyler, and the younger and sti When Rose Thornton sees the advertisement for a cook for six men, she decides to take George Randolph on his offer, after he rescues her one day at work. Monty and Hen, Tyler, and the younger and still a child, Zac, who captures her heart from the first day. But out of all the brothers, it is George, whom she finds herself drawn to despite the circumstances that surround them, with their fathers having fought on both sides of the war.

But despite all that, there is a sizzling fire between George and Rose, that starts to turn into love, what neither of them expected to find. I can't count how many times I have read this book, I just love love love reading it, so I thought it was about time that I read it and do a review for it. So here I am. Leigh Greenwood is one of my favorites to read from if I am looking for a good American Western romance, and is a male author, which suprised me at first, since there aren't too many male romance authors, that I actually know of, so its truly a delight to find such a talented one.

Every time I pick up Rose, I can't force myself to put it down, I just love it so much. I just love the idea of one woman civilizing six brother technically seven, but Madison doesn't show in this book and can hold her own. Definitely my type of heroine, and the hero is the classic tortured, planning to never marry type, but knows deep down its inevitable.

So as far as a classic western romance, Rose hits the roof! Feb 07, Kagama-the Literaturevixen rated it it was ok Shelves: This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers.

Bed of Roses (Bride Quartet #2) by Nora Roberts Audiobook Full

If you have seen the movie you know where this is going ; So slowly she settles in and tries to both deal with housework and the brothers relationship they got issues This was if not a bad book,it was decent but I dont think I will find myself re-reading this or recommending it to others. It was just a bit too bland. I would find myself thinking about certain scenes"oh thats sweet" but my interest in the couple never went beyond lukewarm.

I just didnt get a sense of chemistry between them. It was more like they were convenient to each other. The other books will follow the brothers way to find love but I am not sure its anything I will chose to read in a hurry. When they finally get together romantically it felt very forced.

It was an interesting premise for a romance, bringing together the daughter of a high ranking Yankee officer and an ex-Confederacy soldier but unfortunately, it did not work for me and I had to let this story go a little after the halfway mark. As a historical novel, the issues mentioned above were dealt in a shallow way. I did not feel accuracy in the setting, especially with certain anachronisms that kept popping up in the characters'dialogue and inner monologue. As a romance, it also left a lot to be desired because of the wishy-washy hero and the desperate, calculating "insta-love" of the heroine.

Though all the elements were there that I normally love in a historical western, or "ranch" romance, it did not have enough to keep my attention. Feb 24, Angie rated it it was amazing Shelves: One of my favorite romances ever. I've re-read it several times, and always enjoy it. There was a scene that was a complete rip-off from the movie Seven Brides for Seven Brothers one of my favorite movies, the best scene where the heroine view spoiler [turns the table over on the brothers due to them acting like pigs hide spoiler ].

Series: Seven Brides

This romantic western, set right after the Civil War, is full of carpetbaggers, Indians, fighting brothers, cattle rustlers, family feuds and family secrets - on both sides. Greenwood is very good at writing dialogue for characters that are little boys causing, Zac Randolph age six to often steal the show. View all 4 comments. Oct 06, Imogen Woods rated it really liked it Shelves: First published in June by Leisure Books Dorchester Publishing , Rose heads up the book series of seven brides for seven brothers. Which, if you think about it, is quite scandalous.

The men ought to be shot. All the while looking very fetching while sweating it out over a gutted turkey out in the big, bad brush. What was less predictable: Considering there are 7 brothers — which means two major characters and six minor ones — you had to wrap your head around quite a few names and all their hang ups, as well as latch on to the action, which comes thick and fast. But Leigh — who is a man! As for the sizzle quotient, mostly lots of sweet cuddles and kisses with one semi-explicit sex scene. Otherwise, a good old-fashioned romance that leaves the insides all gooey and happy.

I thoroughly enjoyed this one. Dec 31, marieno rated it really liked it. It all started when I asked myself whether there were romances written by men. I know it's a stupid question!

I mean, why not? I found this series. I read the reviews on goodread and decided that I had to read it. I don't know if it makes sense, but it seemed to me that Greenwood's writing was less judgmental than the writing of some female authors. Rose is the perfect balance between delicate femininity and strength.

I didn't want him to grow up. I had a difficult time getting through this book. The story line was pretty decent, however, because there are so many brothers, it took me awhile to get all the names straight a long time. I got tired of Jeff's constant whining and bitterness. His complete unwillingness to accept and forgive Rose, and honestly, she didn't do anything to deserve it. He completely got on my nerves. Since this appears to be a series, I guess I will skip to his book because I am, at this point, not interested in I had a difficult time getting through this book.

Since this appears to be a series, I guess I will skip to his book because I am, at this point, not interested in the other brothers book. En realidad nunca pense que un hombre encontraria el gusto de escribir libros con romance. Esta serie me la encontre hace poco y me llamo muchisimo la atencion. Es entretenida y aunque el autor no es muy conocido merece una oportunidad. View all 3 comments. Nov 20, Jaimey rated it really liked it Shelves: What an intriguing story. I was pleasantly surprised at how well I liked it. The heroine wasn't the least bit annoying as I've found to be the case in most books by Greenwood.

It felt like there was something missing in the hero; I can't even begin to name what it was. But, all in all, I liked the story, loved the characters—especially Hen—found the conflict interesting, and while the ending felt a little forced, I even liked it. Apr 13, Sarah rated it it was ok Shelves: I love old west romance but I had a hard time finishing this book. All in all, I just couldn't get caught up in this story. I liked Rose but thought the hero, Geroge, was just kinda boring.

Like this one a lot too, though not as much as the last one and I am debating about the other brothers. I really like the writing here. Greenwood did a great job describing what happened in a starting out ranch, so much so that a city born and bred girl like me can imagine easily what is happening.

    He also did a great job with characterisation, with so many male characters introduced here, it is very eas Once I realise the one I just read is related to this series, I jumped right into. But the Loeb Classical Library is a series of editions, not of works. Home Groups Talk Zeitgeist.
