Summary: The Best Ever
Review: This was the first romance novel I ever read. After this one I was hooked. I've read all of Kathleen Woodwiss novels. This is my favorite. I would love a sequel to it. Like the Elusive Flame was the sequel to Flame and the Flower.

Summary: Predictable
Review: I usually enjoy Woodiwiss's work and to be honest, I have no idea what everyone is seeing in this one! I had the "secret" of the story figured out about 50 pages into the book and found the so called heroine to be shallow and petty. The story was OK, but outdated and not all that exciting. How many times must this girl get herself into trouble and then have her dashing hero come to her rescue?!? She is not a strong woman in the least - instead, she comes of as silly, stupid and weak waiting for a man to come get her out of all the messes she gets into. I was disappointed in this book and was glad that I had gotten it from the library instead of actually paying for it!

Summary: 'A Rose In Winter' is a classic love story
Review: The first time I read this book I was 9 years old. I was fascinated with the heroine, Erienne. The poor girl has nothing that her father won't take from her, and her father wants to marry her off to the richest guy he can find. She sees Christopher Seton and gets a huge crush on him. The one man she can't have because of troubles with her father. So she is sold on the block to the highest bidder to a man whose face she does not see til the end. A man who is good to her, buys her all kinds of clothes, and is ultimately the man of her dreams.The fascinating thing for me now is this: Have you noticed that most of KEW's heroines are Irish or of Irish descent? Hmm... I have read almost all of KEW's other romances, and this one, the first romance I ever read, remains the best one of all. Hey Kathleen, will ya write a sequel like you did for "The Flame and the Flower"? I want to know what happened to Erienne and her love after they were able to settle down and enjoy their life together. I want to know what happened to Farrell and his girl. I want to know what happened to Lord Saxton's people. Please, write a sequel!!

Summary: The Greatest Romance Book I've Ever Read
Review: I've read this book soooo many times, I lost count. Of all the book KEW wrote this is my favorite, I fall in love with the characters in this book. Christopher Seton and Erienne Fleming are the most handsome couple in the Historical romance book, everytime I read this book, it puts me in the mood for love. 2 thumbs up for this book.

Summary: Outdated romance....
Review: After reading all of the glowing reviews here, this book was quite a dissapointment to me. The book was written almost 20 years ago and I think that it shows its age. The heroine is beautiful, but appears to have no other positive qualities. She's not obviously intelligent, witty, insightful, or compassionate. It takes her over 400 pages to *almost* figure out the obvious. In addition, the heroine is constantly being saved by the hero. I prefer a woman who can take care of herself. The romance in this book is based on the heroine betraying her husband, and there are several instances of the outdated idea that when a woman says "No" she really means "Yes." I find none of these plot devices particularly romantic. Read something, anything, by Julie Garwood instead.

Summary: You are still the best! ! ! !
Review: I first read this book 10 years ago. But every couple of years I have to read it again. It is one of my favorite books of all time. And I have read a lot of books. The story sweeps you away. Erien is wonderful. And Seton is breathtaking. Woodwiss really knows how to keep her readers on the edge of their seat. You can usually guess what is going to happen in most books early on. Not so with this one.

Summary: Okay as a break from deep thinking.
Review: I'm not usually a romance reader, so forgive me if I'm a bit biased. Upon a good friend's recommendation, I read "A Rose in Winter." Ahem. Aside from a page of shameless pilfering from the Phantom of the Opera, a Scooby Doo sort of predictability throughout the whole story, a heroin who manages to experience attacks on her virtue at just about every stop on the road (and sometimes in the carriage), lines from the hero that are so cheesy they could put Velveeta out of business, and a villain that is the rich equivalent of Snidely Whiplash (complete with mustache), A Rose in Winter was...okay. The characters were some fun, and the plot at least tried to have twists. If you're into strenuous reading, but don't mind putting rational thought on hold for the hour and a half it takes to read this book, go ahead--but don't expect to be surprised by the way things turn out. If you're into pure escapism--have at it, and enjoy!

Summary: A wonderful love story
Review: This was a really great book to read. The story was enticing and romantic. Its my second KEW and I know I will be our looking for the next. The story was a well written that I was able to form a mental image of all the characters and scenes in my mind. This book was truly a wonderful read.
