A poignant saga set against the wildness of Dartmoor - Dartmoor, 1877. When Rose Chadwicks husband Charles betrays her, her spirit is broken. She is desperate to help a wrongly convicted man who has touched her heart, but feels it is beyond her. Charles had promised to help clear the prisoners name, but he scorns her sympathy for the prisoners. As the situation builds to a tearing climax, can anyone predict what desperate acts jealousy will lead to?From BooklistCrosse follows Cherrybrook Rose (2008) with more on the life of compelling heroine Rose Maddiford Chadwick. It’s 1877 in desolate Dartmoor, near Princeton Prison, where her former-prison-warden father lies buried and Seth, wrongly convicted, endures sadistic torture. Rose’s snobbish, hard-hearted husband, Charles, tricks her into believing he will help the convict, whose medical treatment she had secretly arranged, but instead he locks her in her room. Headstrong—and heavily pregnant—Rose yearns to resist Charles. When Florrie, her widowed nanny from years gone by, appears to care for the baby, Crosse takes the opportunity to provide the backstory needed by Florrie—and readers new to this absorbing historical series and its strong themes of romance and feminist equality. The heroine sinks into a postpartum “consuming delirium” after Charles sells her horse and ignores their infant, Alice, who is not the son he wanted. As Rose slowly recuperates, her thoughts return to Seth. Hopefully more titles will follow in this engrossing, cinematically realized saga. --Whitney Scott Review"'Hopefully more titles will follow in this engrossing, cinematically realized saga' Booklist on A Bouquet of Thorns"
