Customer Reviews

A wonderful, romantic story from a talented new author!

I loved CAROLINA ROSE! Tracy Sumner's debut novel is full of passion, interesting detail, and heart-warming romance. Charlie is everything a heroine should be: strong, intelligent, and willing to stand up for the things she believes in--even if that means butting heads with a cynical (sexy!) stranger named Adam. I loved watching the two of them try so hard not to fall in love when it was obvious they belonged together. CAROLINA ROSE is fresh, fun, and romantic...a keeper!

New author Tracy Sumner has a hit with her debut novel!

Refreshing and delightful, it is set in South Carolina in the 1850s.Charlie Whitney is an independent spinster at the age of 24 who doesn't much care what people think of her wearing pants. Having lost her father and now losing the newspaper she and her father worked so hard on, Charlie is dead-set against liking Adam Jared Chase. What she doesn't count on is that he wants to help her make a success of the paper.Adam, filled with ghosts of days past, is the new editor of The Sentinel. Finding Charlie amusing, yet hard-headed, he is determined to work with her to help her be a better journalist. What he doesn't want to do is trust her or to fall in love with her.When Charlie and Adam begin to depend on the other for the support and strength that they each need, a spark starts in their relationship that they aren't even aware of. It's then that things get really interesting and their relationship begins to bloom! Charlie and Adam, as well as Tracy Sumner's other characters, are far from perfect, making this a delightful and refreshing read. I look forward to reading this new author's future books, and I recommend you don't miss this one!

THE BEST DEBUT NOVEL I HAVE READ

This is a wonderful love story--the chemistry between Adam and Charlotte is felt by the reader right away and it carries through the entire novel. I enjoyed the secondary characters, which I sometimes do not. The sex scenes are terrific and believable. Do not miss this new author!

The best book i have read in a long time, tracy is great .

the characters in CAROLINA ROSE were so strong you fell in love with them on the very first page. TRACY this book will be hard to top, i look foward to your new book.

Great romantic read, full of interesting characters!

Tracy Sumner creates wonderful, compelling characters in Adam and Charlie, two people whose unique personalities put them on the fringe of society and perfect for each other. What really amazed me about this book is how strong and vibrant Sumner makes her characters and how much I was caught up in their story. It's a great romantic read, heartfelt and sensual at the same time. A truly enjoyable book. Sumner is a fresh voice in historical romance and I look forward to more!
