Synopsis
During her short time as a ward in Queen Marguerite's Lancastrian court, fifteen-year-old Isobel has had many suitors ask for her hand, but the spirited beauty is blind to all but Yorkist Sir John Neville. It is nothing short of a miracle when the Queen allows Isobel's marriage to the enemy, albeit at a hefty price.
All around Isobel and John rages a lawless war. It is only their passion that can see them through the bloody siege of London by the Duke of York, the violent madness of Queen Marguerite, and the devolution of Isobel's meek uncle into the Butcher of England. For theirs is an everlasting love that fears not the scratch of thorns, from either the Red Rose or the White.
Biography

May 25, 2008: This is the best book I have ever read. It's a gorgeous love story of two of the most memorable historical figurs I've ever encountered, and the story is filled with momentous events. Isobel and John have stayed with me ever since I first read this book months ago. If you have only time for one book, make it Lady of the Roses.

May 19, 2008: Ordinarily, I love historical novels, especially novels that emphasize the romance of the times. This is a novel that could have been wonderful. It begins with the spark of new love, but throughout the rest of the story, it is difficult to believe that they can maintain any passion for each other. Very disappointing.
