From lush Caribean estates to desperate battles at sea, all the way to the glittering English and Spanish courts, Maria and Gabriel would rage against the one truth their hearts could never deny, and which passion alone could set free.

The novel gripped me from the start. Maria and Gabriel were a delightful couple whose struggle until they realised their love for one another, captivated me. The plot is filled with unexpected twists and turns. I think what I liked most about this novel, was that it did not end when they realised that they loved eachother. Too often, romance novels do, and one is left with a feeling of frustration, of wanting to know what happened after their declaration of love! The Spanish Rose is not like that, and one can contentedly go on to read further, and enjoy the extra twists and turns that Shirlee has in store! This was an EXCELLENT novel, and I recommend it to all romantics out there - if you are reading this, and haven't read it yet - why waste time...READ!
