Books like Bed of Roses

5 SOLID STARS!My cheeks are still damp from my tears as I’m writing this review. Oh my heart, this was such a beautiful story!It’s been a while since I read Nora Roberts’s contemporary romance novel, and Bed of Roses didn’t disappoint. I knew I would love this book, and I was right. Yes, I did love it! Everything about it. This was exactly what I want from my read!I loved NR’s excellent writing.I loved this very simple yet well-knit plot.I loved both main and secondary characters.I loved the romance between Jack and Emma.I loved the true friendship between these four women.I loved the drama and the groveling.I loved the ending… very, very beautiful!What surprised me the most about this book was how wonderful Emma is! As a character, she won me over completely. If I were a man, I would undoubtedly marry this woman. She’s beautiful inside and out, so loving, thoughtful, caring, kind, reasonable, open-hearted, hard-working, clever, and reliable. She comes from a warm and loving family. She used to be a co-captain of girls’ soccer team. She is also a good cook. What more can a man ask for?!Bed of Roses is the second installment in Bride Quartet series. You can read it as a standalone, but it would be better to read the books in order they were written.All in all, this was a very beautiful, heartwarming, and breathtakingly romantic story which you will definitely enjoy. A great read, indeed!Loved it!---------------------------------------\ “The little things, Emma. The gestures, the moments. And the big. I let him see my heart. I gave it to him, even when I believed he couldn’t or wouldn’t take it. I gave it anyway—a gift. Even if he broke it. I was very brave. Love is very brave.”\ \ “I’m dancing with you.” He brought the hand he held to his lips. “In the garden, in the moonlight.”Her heart shuddered, swelled. And all the cracks filled.\
