The first book in this series is Thorn in My Heart. A wonderful story. Loved every minute. Fair is the Rose was good also but Jamie was sort of unbelievable. He loved Rose, then loved her sister Leana, then loved Rose again and just dumped Leana. Guess things were different in those days. I did enjoy it enough to get the third book.

Loved the story-line and the character development was great! I felt as if I was out on the land and in the houses with the characters! Really great writing!

Book #2 in the series. This is retelling of the biblical story of Leah and Rachel and Jacob. This is interesting because you aren't really sure of how the author is going to get all the biblical elements in and yet stay true to the era that she has but these characters in.

I've just finished Fair is the Rose. I am anxiously awaiting the third book in the series to come to me via PBS. I have to find out if Leanna will ever find her everlasting happiness. Seems now Rose is happy at her sister's expense and I'm not liking her too much at this point. Maybe she will redeem herself in the third book but in this book all she thought of was herself.
An amazing book, a must read!
Loved the series. Couldn't wait to read the next and sad to end it.

thought i might like this book but now i'm not so sure that's it in the time period i like the more current modern time period
Takes place in scotland - the mcBride sisters are caught in a desperate situation. Both women have given their hearts to the same man, Jamie McKie of Glentrool. He cannot love them both - or can he?

I didn't cars for the first book in the series, so I have decided not to read this one. I don't care for the author's use of a biblical story in different setting.

Part 2 of the fictionalized Biblical story of Rachel & Leah. A page turner! One woman in our book group had to order Book 3 just to see what happened. She couldn't stand it!
