As fresh and beautiful a romance as the rose in its title.
Once Rafe Martinez had held her naked under a midsummer moon and pledged his love, yet when he left her without warning, something inside Jeannie Crane died - but her son, their son - lived. When Rafe learned the truth at her father's funeral, Jeannie felt regret at his pain and relief that her secret was finally out. Now he was back and she was terrified that he would fight her in court for custody. Rafe's betrayal still burned - but so did her desire for the only man she'd ever loved. Could she give her passionate maverick the courage to reclaim his family without sacrificing his dreams?
Excerpt
"Lying down on the job, I see," Rafe said.
Jeannie dropped her horse's reins and raised her hands in surrender. "Caught red-handed."
"Wet-handed is more like it." Rafe dismounted and let his horse drink from the clear-running creek. She could feel the swift pace of the blood in her veins as he approached her.

Why does this supposed exotic character Martinez have to seduce some wasp chick all the time too lame and predictable.
Had the author picked a woman of Orthodox Jewish extraction say Amy Schoenfeld I think that would be of more pizazz.
Judy Crane is too predictable.
