Customer Reviews

The book didn’t match the image, just like Beauty Sleep.

It’s a story that I’ve never even heard of before, based on a fairy tale that I’ve never even read growing up!

Holder Writes Another Winner

Let's face it, you can't really go wrong with anything Nancy Holder writes -- she couldn't do a bad book if she tried, and with "The Rose Bride," Holder's one-upon-a-time story is simply a pure delight. I do this for a living, and it's such a joy to see somebody who can do it so much better than I. There's a lot to like in this one. Check it out and see for yourself.
