Ian's Rose

Lover of Romance 

Ian's Rose pretty much takes off where book one ended. Frederick and Aggie have just given birth to a son, Aggie meets her birth father and the man that loved her mother for the first time (and yes so sweet). Ian and Rose have known each other for over a year and love each other and Ian proposes and Rose accepts. But then Rose reveals a secret that she is unable to carry a child to term, and Ian is a younger son and is worried that he isn't good enough for Rose and breaks their engagement.

Rose is a young woman that is a widow, she was married to a wonderful man but she had three miscarriages and doesn't know if she could go through with losing another child. She knows that Ian has quite the reputation with the ladies, but when he convinces her that he loves her and wants to marry her she takes a risk to trust him and then he breaks her heart. But when he ends up being drunk and they "almost" marry, meaning Ian collapses from drink right before he says his vows but later realizes his mistake and Rose forces him to see that he needs to fight for them just like he is fights in battles...with all his strength and with his heart and soul. And now once they are married for good, Frederick and Aggie ask that they rebuild the McLaren keep and the clan so that one day their son can take over when he is ready.

But things aren't as easy as they expected to rebuild the keep, the old one having been burned by Aggie's father in the book one. But they have funds that Ian and Rose found to rebuild the keep to its former glory and strengthen the clan. And just when Rose and Ian have their life in order, keeping order in the clan, building a new keep and having a united clan, and Rose is pregnant with their child and is past her third month giving them hope that they may have a child. But they have an enemy, an enemy they thought was dead, that seeks the money they found. And while Ian was gone out hunting, their clan was betrayed by one of their own, some of their people slaughtered and Ian's Rose has been kidnapped for ransom by the Bowie Clan.

This wasn't quite as good as book one, however I fell in love with this story. Now this is where I recommend reading "Frederick's Queen" first, because this book takes off right after Frederick and Aggie's story. Where we have already seen Ian and Rose's romance blossom a bit, but this is the story where their love is truly tested. I actually loved the way that this story flowed. The events that follow are engaging and keeps you on the edge of your seat. Its a normal length story, so not quite as long as book one. But I found it to be so wonderful to read for sure. We also see these two work through their differences and become united even when they are seperated and they gain a new ally, one they don't expect. And we get some more fun times with Frederick and Aggie and their 9 year old son (who honestly is my favorite secondary character other than Frederick and Ian's father who is a hoot)

Also currently this book is free on Amazon, so go GRAB it!!Ian's Rose pretty much takes off where book one ended.
