Amazing

This was the first romance book I ever sat down and read when I was sixteen. The Wind Rose is my favorite book and I've read it over and over so many times. I even recommend it to all my friends. It's just this roller coaster of excitment that keeps you turning the page.

If you like Woodiwiss' early books, you will like this

This book is sensual and romantic and the main characters are likable despite (or perhaps because of) their all too human flaws.Holmes style is very similar to that of Kathleen E Woodiwiss' earlier work (as opposed to Woodiwiss' very ordinary recent work) - great plot, fiery heroines and lusty, handsome and enjoyable heroes. The background characters are well drawn out and believable, and add an extra element of enjoyment.The romance that develops between Jason and his reluctant bride is taken gradually, but builds to an exciting cresendo.I enjoyed this book a great deal, and wish there were more writers like Holmes around

BREATHTAKING!

The Wind-Rose is one of the highest quality romance novels I have ever read. It is a wonderful adventure into life in 18th century Maine, full of legend, suspense, and of course; romance! The title characters are well developed, and beliveable. I couldn't stop reading it, and in fact I stayed up all night to finish this one. Mary Mayer Holmes writes with a supurb flair for both historical authenticity and character development. Set among both the high seas and a New England winter this book is well reasearched with solid writing. If you can find this rare gem, don't pass it up!
