Carla Kelly: The Rose Between the Thorns Susan Smith If this anthology did not contain Carla Kelly's story I would have happily given it a one or two star rating. Carla by herself gets ten stars IMO.If I never read anything by Lyn Stone again I don't believe I shall miss much. The writer's style is inane, simplistic, sometimes just simply inaccurate and she writes choppy, stagnant dialogue. The precept of a heroine with hysterical paralysis coupled with a disabled war veteran (the former making a perfect and overnight recovery) was too much. It stretched reality to the . Cilla said Not your mother's regencies!. These stories are pretty tame when it comes to sex, given the graphic nature of many of the newer romance novels. But they are not like many of the old regencies due to the fact that in all three of the novellas, the couples have sex, and two of the heroines are virgins in an era where doing that was a huge decision that could ruin a girl's chance for marriage. I'm not a prude, just mentioning this so that readers will know beforehand in case they are looking for a more chaste romance. The sex isn't the reason I rated. A cubic zirconia, a diamond and some paste. Ridley Scarlet Ribbons - Lyn StoneFairly forgettable story of a widowed soldier crippled in the Napoleonic Wars and a feisty spinster injured in a riding accident. I did enjoy their dialog and the mirroring of their injuries, but it was written with a mystifying emotional distance. I never felt truly absorbed into the story or like I understood the characters' motivations. Enjoyable, but lacking something. 3 stars.Christmas Promise - Carla KellyWonderful, emotional tale of love that waited, and waited. Captain Jeremiah Faulk
