I was intrigued by the title of this book and really excited to read it. I am a fan of Stephanie Burkhart, and have read and reviewed several of her werewolf themed books.The Green Rose is a giant leap into the fantasy realm for Ms. Burkhart, and I am amazed how effortlessly she made the jump.The story flow was flawless, the writing crisp and clear, and the world building is the best I have ever read.The Green Rose was filled with action, intrigue, passion and excitement.Her characters were believable, flawed while still being strong and very compelling. The plot twisted and turned, yet I never felt lost, only egger to see what would happen next.The love scenes between Sonia and Ivanstan are for mature audiences, yet did not over shadow the true love story or beauty of the emotional side of falling in love.Fantasy lovers will devour this story, and for those who have yet to try a fantasy romance; this is a story that will draw you into the realm and have you searching for more.
