Summary: Overall, a good book!
Review: I rated all 3 books a 4 stars. It contains several exciting twist & few amusing scenes. All three love stories are romantically well writtened. I didn't think it was rushed... Although, the romance wasn't as detailed as I expected it to be, it's still well balanced and well designed. The only missing part in this 3 books are the rest of the CLAYBORNE family. There was only very few scenes mentioned of them. I was expecting at least a bit more on MAMA ROSE. She was one of the important characters in the book, FOR THE ROSES (the beginning of this series). When this first book ended, I read that she's finally coming home, I thought to read more about her in this second series. I was somewhat disappointed that she was only mentioned passingly. There was no conversation with her children nor any updates of how the reunion went about. I would imagine the initial reunion (after 20 years) would be a heart warming read. Nevertheless, The Claynorne Brides are worth the buy and your time. A relaxing read!

Summary: Julie Garwood does it again!
Review: I read the first book, "One Pink Rose", and I just couldn't stop until I'd finished all three of them! These are the kind of stories that make you feel happy inside and begin to dream about romance. The stories were great, One White Rose was my favorite. The plots are terrific,they truly make me fantasize about what could happen in my own life! Keep up the good work, Julie!

Summary: Love those Claybornes!
Review: I should have rated all 3 of these books seperately. One Pink Rose I would have only given 4 stars but One White Rose and One Red Rose would both get 5 stars! I have read all of Julie's books and I don't think these seemed rushed at all, although some people seem to believe they were. I would have enjoyed if they were longer but all the same i enjoyed them. Travis's story 'One Pink Rose' was good but he was never really my favorite brother. Although I did love how Emily brought out the softer side of him. It also expaned on his charcter more than we were able to see in For the Roses. Now Douglas's story "One White Rose' is absolutely one of my favorite Garwood books. The humor in this book is tremendous, i can't even tell you how many times i had to stop reading because i was laughing so hard! The story line was completely different from Travis's story which was a relief. I feared all 3 stories would be too similiar. Ms. Garwood didn't disappoint me. I have read One White Rose several times and the ending is the absolute best! I won't elaborate in fear of giving anything away. :) Adam's story 'One Red Rose' was again refreshingly different from Travis and Douglas' stories. He was always so disciplined, it was nice to see a lady make him lose his control for once. Genevieve was so well written. She was a perfect match for Adam, just ask Mama Rose...she'll tell you just that! :) This story started back at the ranch and the whole family was there, and i truly enjoyed Garwood's thoughtfulness of letting us revisit with all the members of the Clayborne clan. They were lighter reads than her usual, but ravished with Garwood's fascinatingly, unique style all the same. Great reads and I definitely recommend them.

Summary: An awesome read!!
Review: I've only just started reading romance novels, and this one is definitley the best! I could not put it down, I carried it everywhere with me! Miss Garwood is an excellent author. Anyone who is even only thinking about reading it, well, take my advice and just do it.

Summary: Looking for the last book?
Review: Like other reviewers, I adore the Clayborne family and so I was looking forward to reading about Douglas, Travis, and Adam. I liked the first two stories, and I gave the book 3 stars because of that. However, Adam's story was the worst. In "For the Roses," one could see that Adam's past as a runaway slave had an impact on his persona as well as current events in his life(i.e., his hesitation to leave the ranch). In "The Clayborne Brides", there is little mention of this...with only a passing reference to the Gettysburg Adress. I also expected a little more realism in Adam and Genevive's story; there is no mention or hint of any prejudice or bias two African-Americans would have dealt with in that time. Not that those things take precedence in a romantic story but to ignore it is an insult to both characters. Read the "One Pink Rose" and "One White Rose" but don't bother with "One Red Rose."

Summary: Read Her Other Books, They're Better
Review: Overall I love Julie Garwood's historical romances - I haven't read her contemporary ones yet... However this historical one just doesn't cut it. The collection of short stories, has thin character development and weak plots. The stories are simply too simplistic and you never develop a connection to the characters.
Rating:
Summary: Not a huge fan
Review: Personally, I like Garwood's Highland novels the best. This American trilogy seemed weak and lacking in basic emotion. On red rose was the best out of the three, it's the only one where the hero has even a chance to love anything about the heroine but her appearance. Unrealistic though...do you expect me to believe that an African American was treated equally in the Wild West? Nice Utopia dream world Garwood has going there, something I'd be proud to have in the history books, but it's just not believable! The Clayborne guys are sweet though, and worth reading about if you have the time.
