How do you get a satisfyingly delicious Western Romance like The Scent of Roses by Charlene Raddon??Mix:One hot-headed, rough-around-the -edges pool-shark turned miner/businessman/single fatherOne part each:  suspicious murder, a mining disaster, long held grudges, a few dark secrets and a haunted house with an old English butler named Smythley, a precocious little girl named Lenna(Do NOT substitute)One prim, proper, nave woman from Oregon in search of her long-lost husband to save her from the clutches and bed of a zealot religious cult leaderOptional:  A fan to cool you off, a stressball for the those times that you are saying: No, no, no!  Will there be a happy ending?  Who will survive the weight of the truth when it comes out?  Will someone make that journey to the Hangman's Tree for a crime they did not commit?  And the love scenes....Whoa!I was completely in the moment throughout The Scent of Roses with its well defined, often frustrating characters, the scenic details and the non-stop twists wound tighter than a cowhand's rope!  Charlene Raddon can write!  I swear I was suffocating in an evil corset in the hot Arizona sun!  And although this is the sequel to To Have and To Hold, The Scent of Roses stands on its own very well!  Do I recommend this book?  Yes, Ma'am!  I'd like to thank Charlene Raddon for allowing me to read and review this book!Publication Date: May 28, 2013 by Tirgearr PublishingMy Rating: 5 StarsGenre:  Western Romance, HistoricalRecommended Reading Age:  Adults
