Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
Cassandra Delaney is the White Rose, one of the Confederacy's most daring and successful spies. Derek Courtland is an Australian blockade runner, risking his life to bring supplies to the war-torn South. When he is captured by the Yankees, Cassie engineers his escape and escorts him to his ship in the Caribbean. Thanks to Cassie's James Bond-like bravura, all goes well until her brother, a high-ranking member of the Yankee secret service, discovers what she's been up to and arranges for Derek to kidnap her and take her back to Australia to keep her--and the Northern cause--out of trouble. When she discovers she's not going to North Carolina, Cassie is furious, but she can't ignore the growing chemistry between herself and her rakish, charming captor. And fortunately, besides being a spy, Cassie's also an anthropologist employed by the Smithsonian, so her anger soon abates as they stop at one exotic port of call after another. Cassie's researches instill in her a burgeoning feminist consciousness as she realizes that men are the same the world over; nevertheless, she finds herself increasingly drawn to Derek, who is charmed, in a typically masculine, patronizing way, by her intellectual curiosity. In Australia, where Derek must avenge the murder of his father, the action becomes so breathlessly, luridly melodramatic as to make Cassie's spying escapades seem like peanuts. The plot tends not to hang together in many places, dialogue is often stilted and Derek is rather a cardboard hero, but their bizarre adventures do keep the pages turning.

ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITES!!, Jan 16 2006
By Michelle Crisp "goodonewilson" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: White Rose (Paperback)
The White Rose is one of the first romance novels I ever read (about 12 years ago). I am now and avid romance reader and writer and it is STILL in my top two!
The heroine is beautful, strong, indepenant, and adventurous - everything us women want to be. The hero is powerful, humorous, caring, and absolutely drop dead gorgeous - everything we women want to see. :)
The two face danger time and time again having no one to turn to but each other. I didn't want this story to ever end. I kept putting it down so I wouldn't get to the end too fast. I day dreamed about it for days, weeks even!
You don't want to miss this one! IF you can get your hands on a copy (since it's out of print) DO!
If I could give this book a 6 out of 5, I would.

White rose was the best of the white flower trilogy., Aug 27 2002
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: White Rose (Paperback)
Linda Ladd writes a wonderful story line with great detail and handsome heroes. Of the triology (white lily, white rose, white orchid) I enjoyed this one the best. It was good enough that I went in search of the first (lily) and the final one (orchid). Surprising the 3 books have the same characters interwoven but the story line is quite different. I think her strength is her endings as the story line gets stronger as it goes along. Anyhow I recommend this one if you want a great civil war era read.

Excellent, July 13 2003
By Dee - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: White Rose (Paperback)
I have read all of the Fire Trilogy Series and they all get a 5 star review from me. It's really a shame that these books are no longer in print. Because for people who enjoy reading Historal Romances will be missing out on 3 excellent books.
