Roses After Rain

Rating:
Summary: Romance Down Under
Review: Being an avid fan of Cassie Edwards, whenever I see a book of hers that I have not read yet, I'll pick it up. I especially love the Savage Series. Therefore Roses After Rain came as a big surprise. A pleasant one. It was great to see a completely new setting. Ian and Thalia are very likable characters and to me it was great to picture them in surroundings that I could identify with. Thank you Cassie. You must have done a lot of research to come up with such an accurate account of the history of a country which until now, I presume, was unfamiliar territory to you. Keep up the good work.

Summary: Sweet but nothing special
Review: This book is a very typical formulaic romance. The hero, heroine, and villain are almost cartoonish in their persona. The heroine is your classic self sacrificing beautiful woman. The hero is your basic great guy and the villain is just completely evil. The storyline is sweet but it would probably appeal more to a younger reader who cares less about depth of character. The characters have cartoonish personalities with no real depth. It was a sweet book but nothing special about it.
