Format:Mass Market Paperback
There are many reasons to like this book, but my favorite aspect is that it shows a non-traditional family full of love and respect. Three orphaned boys find a little girl in a trash pile and band together to raise her as their sister. The romance element of the book is good, as well as the part where Mary Rose finds her biological father, but the relationships of Mary Rose and her four unconventional brothers are what make this book a must read.

I loved this book so much that I have read it twice. The other boks in the series, dont' even match up, and really are just too predictable.

I read For the Roses and the other books in the series a few years ago and I have re-read them because they are that good.
Although I do like romance this is not just a romantic story it much more than that. It about family and love and respect, I loved it.
The reason why I have taken the time to write this review is I have just seen the movie ROSEHILL that was adapted by Hallmark (WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT THAT WAS). Avoid at all cost, the essence and heart of the story has being destroyed the humour was taken out of the story, you would not recognise Mary Rose who was made out to be a jealous person who disregarded the men who raise her.The men did not appear to really bond together like in the book, what happen to Harrison he did not exist in the movie and the most unforgivable act was that they KILL OFF COLE. Enjoy the book forget the movie trust me on this one.

One of the best books I have ever read. I own every single one of Julie Garwoods books and this one had me drawn in the most.

I am glad I read it.
I am truly glad I read this book- there was more to it that just a romance story (what the other reviewers have said is true- there is love, trust, respect, and loyalty). Read more

For the ones with no life . . .
I must say that this was the most unappeasing and most boring of Julie Garwood's work ever to grace the bookshelves. Read more
