Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 09 4, 2013
This book made me wonder what I was getting myself into from the start. I started it one rainy morning and did not put it down that night until I was finished with the mysteries that fell around Rose House. Of course, I had to stop to tend to my children but other than that it was a non-stop reading day!  I wanted to know all about Rosalyn Delaney, and of course Whip Kincaid. The story starts out at the mines and then takes a serious twist when you find out that Josiah, Whip's partner and Rosalyn;s husband, has been killed. But by who? That is where the mystery starts and remains for most of the novel. I was so drawn into the book because the author made each and every character have their own personality, good and bad. I thoroughly enjoyed the flaws that they each held because that just makes them seem all that much more real and relatable.This story has so many twists and turns that I did not even see the outcome at the end coming. The novel definitely has you guessing the whole entire time. I was praying so hard that when it came to the end that it would be happy and that the love would take over all the bad circumstances that had been thrown in the mix. I did not realize that Scent Of Roses was a sequel to To Have and To Hold. I definitely plan to read this soon because Charlene Raddon entranced me in her novel so much that I finished it in one day. I can not say that very many authors can make me forego an entire day of housework, outside time, errands, and the like, but she did! If anyone likes historical romances, than this book is for you. It was good as a stand alone, but now I am looking forward to getting it's partner in my hands to read. Thanks for an excellent read Charlene Raddon, you deserve more than FIVE STARS!I received this book to review through Beck Valley Books Book Tours, all the opinions above are 100% my own.
