The Scent of Roses: Sensual Western Historical Romance Kindle Edition

by Charlene Raddon (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.3 out of 5 stars (77)
A woman's smile . . . Rosalyn Delaney's husband, Josiah, vanished six years ago. Following a private detective's lead, Rosalyn leaves Salt Lake City & boards a train heading to the mining town of Whiskey Ridge, Arizona. She arrives at Rose House, an old mansion reputed to be haunted, only to discover that her missing husband has been killed, & his business partner, Whip Kincaid, is wanted for his murder. Determined to uncover the secrets surrounding Josiah & his death, Rosalyn decides to stay--even though she begins to receive nightly visits from a charming "ghost"... and a ghost's kiss.... Escaping a troubled past, Whip Kincaid had hoped he could make a fresh start in Whiskey Ridge and open a saloon with his friend Josiah. Now, as a murder suspect hiding in his own house, Whip's future looks bleak indeed...unless he can find the real culprit. But the unexpected intrusion of Rosalyn ruins his plan to sneak out at night to investigate. Scaring her away is his first step in clearing his name, but Rosalyn doesn't rattle easily. And Whip isn't sure he wants the lovely widow to walk out of his life--especially when she'll take his heart with her.

Hello and welcome to my author page. Let me tell you a little about myself, as that seems to be the main purpose of this profile. Believe it or not, I began my fiction career in the third grade when I told my class that a little sister I never had died of a black widow bite. I also wrote books through my teen years, always about a girl whose mother mistreated her by making her wash dishes, sweep the floor... you get the idea. Never finished any of those stories. But the idea of writing a real book and publishing it never occurred to me. It was a particularly vivid dream that drove me to drag out a portable typewriter and go to work on my first novel. In 1990 my second completed book, Tender Touch, brought me a first place win in a writing contest and the following year became a Golden Heart Finalist. That won me an agent and a contract from Kensington who published five of my western historical romance novels. My books have placed or won in other contests as well. Forever Mine received a Romantic Times Reviewer's Choice Award nomination. I've always loved the Old West and I believe my novels reflect that emotion through their depth and vibrancy. I am always working on a new story. I hope you try my books and enjoy them. Follow me here on my author page and on my website at https://charleneraddon.com & get a free book.

    Miss Raddon has done it again! I love this ladies work, her books are awesome. This is the Sequel to the book To Have and To Hold and I loved both of these books. You don't have to read the first book to enjoy this one they both stand alone. The Scent of Roses offer a little of everything romance, mystery, suspense and even a little paranormal. It is a book that will keep you up half the night reading because you don't want to put it down. I loved the characters and the butler really stood out to me. If you haven't tried this author yet, you must give her a try. You want be sorry.

    This great book sucked me in from the beginning and held me tight to the end.
    Whip and Rosyln are wonderful characters and even misunderstandings cannot prevent their love from blossoming.
    I loved the twist with the butler and the warm, sensitive relationship Roslyn had with Lenna and Coop.
    I hadn't realised this book was a sequel to 'To Have and To Hold' I have now purchased it and look forward to reading it. I am sure it will be equally as mesmorizing.
    Well done, Charlene, on a great read.

    I love a story that takes you there. The setting was so real, and the characters were people I'd want to know. The story line was interesting, and kept you guessing right up to the end - which was a surprise - BTW. Glad to see there a lot more books to read from this author!

    4.0 out of 5 stars Western Romance with Mormons, Ghosts, Too Man Wives and a Man Falsely Accused
    Reviewed in the United States on June 23, 2018
    Format: Kindle
    Set in the mining town of Whiskey Ridge, Arizona Territory in 1889, this is the story of Rosalyn Delaney, who comes to town in search of her husband, Josiah, who vanished six years ago. She tracks him to Rose House, an old mansion, only to discover that her missing husband has been killed, and his business partner, Whip Kincaid, is wanted for his murder.

    Whip Kincaid had planned to make a fresh start in Whiskey Ridge and open a saloon with his friend Josiah. Now, he’s hiding in his own house, hoping to find the one responsible for his partner’s death. Rosalyn’s presence interferes with his plans, but he’s having fun pretending to haunt the house using its secret passages.

    Meanwhile, Rosalyn must contend with Josiah’s second wife, about whom she knew nothing until she arrived, and the woman’s brother who was a bit of too much.

    The story opens with an exciting scene of a mine collapse, well described, and goes on from there to develop a cast of engaging characters, each driven by their own needs and deeds they want to keep hidden. I quite liked the very formal butler who was always there to keep everyone in order. Because the heroine comes from a Mormon family, the Mormons are discussed at some length. Raddon does an excellent job with Whip’s young daughter, an endearing character.

    Midway through the book, Tempest from To Have and To Hold shows up with family in tow, to help solve some mysteries, so I do recommend reading that one first.

    An enjoyable Western romance.
