Rose of Rapture

Summary: A MUST READ
Review: This book, along with "Love,Cherish Me", is one of her best novels. Again, I read this novel years ago and remember it still. Isabelle, the main character, is small but determined, and has a rare gift healing wounded animals. This comes in handy as she is forced to wed a man she doesn't love, who is so scarred mentally that a lot of healing must be done! Warrick, the male lead was complicated, wounded but yet appealing. As they fall in love it is magical. They go through years of adversity and pain, but love gets them through it all. I was moved to tears through some of their problems. The backdrop of the War of the Roses puts them on opposite sides, and almost ruins everything. However, the ending is marvelous. The story is told as a flashback and then back to the present time of the book's beginning. RB has done wonderful research and the backdrop of the book is so descriptive. Buy it if you can find it. I'll never forget this one.
