Genre: Historical Romance
Rating: 4 stars
Sweet Briar Rose is the newest book by Lena Goldfinch. It is a sweet western winter romance that while not Christian fiction it is a relativity clean read. This western romance has a bit ofSleeping Beauty feel with a western twist. Which I loved despite Sleeping Beauty not being my favorite fairy-tale. What surprised me most was that Emmett Southerland the hero of the novel was that he was the romantic one in the story. Rose is the more practical of the two, but then she has every reason to practical.
In Sweet Briar Rose the ties to Sleeping Beauty are subtle if you’re not careful you almost miss it. The Story flows beautifully and moves at a steady pace. I was able to finish this beautiful story in one sitting. That's the thing with Lena's books you just know that as soon as you pick it up it's going to be beautifully written. Emmett was everything a book hero should be caring, patience, considerate, understanding and handsome. Boston Emmett's dog that immediately takes a liking to Rose was another wonderful touch.
I would recommend Sweet Briar Rose to anyone who likes a sweet historical romance. Keep in mind that it is not Christian fiction but it is a clean read.
I received a copy of this book from the author. I was not required to write a positive review. All opinions expressed are mine alone.
