blood red roses

Historical Romance Review: Blood Red Roses by Katherine Deauxville

Posted on June 15, 2021April 19, 2023 by IntrovertReader

Blood Red Roses is understandably a difficult book for some to enjoy. It could be nostalgia goggles on this one for me, plus a love for the glorious red stepback cover. Or it could be the vivid Middle Ages setting, my favorite time period. I read this Medieval romance by Katherine Deauxville (Maggie Davis) twice: once in middle school and then years later in high school, and was swept away in the story both times. 5 stars

Posted on April 6, 2021November 11, 2022 by IntrovertReader

The Black Lyon was my first Jude Deveraux read. I loved the first half, but the second half faltered a bit as a devious woman’s scheming separates the two protagonists.
