The Yard Rose Kindle Edition

by Carolyn Brown (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.3 out of 5 stars (6,809)

Glory Flowers fell in love with Quaid Matthews when she was seven years old. A part of her heart went to Galveston with him just after the second grade when he left southern Oklahoma.

Twenty years later he returns home for his grandmother’s funeral. He decides to stay in Terral, a little southern Oklahoma town right on the Red River and the Chisholm Trail, to research a new line of restaurants to be located as close to the Trail as possible.

During his stay he moves the WM Corporation travel trailer right on the property next to Glory’s land - and the struggle begins. She wants his land to enlarge her property. He wants her land to make a parking lot for his new restaurant. When he tries to cut down the beautiful row of rose bushes separating their property, the battle begins.

They both realize they’ve fallen desperately in love yet they’re not sure if they can trust each other. It takes a lot of courage, some reassurance and many roses to confirm their love.

    This is a heart-warming tale of 2 lovers who didn't discover their mutual love until year later. I wish the author had injected more into the story. Like what happened with the restaurant? Did she sell the land the café was on? Where would they live once married? So many unanswered questions. But quick, fun read.

    Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2020
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    I read my first Carolyn Brown book by mistake. (Thought I'd ordered a different book). Best mistake ever, I now have read most everything she's written. Her characters are interesting, fun, and you hate when the book ends and you have to put it down. I especially like when she has a trilogy as she weaves all the characters in and out of each book. In The Yard Rose, I loved how a single "yard rose" could set of such a series of events, bring the warmth of family memories, and a peek at a hopeful future. You can't go wrong with any of Carolyn Brown's books. Read one and you won't have any free time for some time to come, because you will want to read all her books. You will absolutely love all the women. Enjoy!

    This was a sweet story and a quick read. It was not one of the author's better books, however. I only give it 3 stars. It was not funny the way I've come to like Carolyn Brown's books; nor was it all that interesting. I gave it 3 stars because I like the author and plan to keep reading her books. I can't really recommend it, though.

    How appropriate that Glory Freedom Flowers is characterized by the yard roses she is so enamored of. Not a hot house rose stripped of its defenses, but a hardy rose, beautiful, fragrant and spicy! This was a good story with the right happy ending.

    I was initially excited to start their story. But honestly it was a slow read. There wasn’t a natural flow to this story. Lots of missed opportunities with dialogue that could have made the story richer. For example, “dating was glazed over and more was written in descriptive words of surroundings than the characters themselves. Normally, it takes me about 10 days to read a CB book but this took almost 8 weeks!

    She has lived him since they were right years old. He moved away on the last day of school and she saved the ribbons off of the rose he had given another girl that dropped it stomped them and ran away laughing. He came back for his grandmother's funeral and pulled a travel trailer up next door on the property she'd been trying to buy for a year. They started off on the wrong foot but came together finally and married. The night of their wedding he had one long stem rose with two ribbons delivered telling her she was his yard rose and he wished he'd given the first to her.
