Overall, I'd give this one 3 1/2 stars. This was a 4, almost 5, star book at times but the ending made it fall flat. There's still one plot twist that was so groan-worthy I can't believe it was in there. Ugh. Loved The Tea Rose, liked The Winter Rose, and was glad I read this one. Still, I'm sort of relieved that the trilogy is over and I can read something else and maybe stop staying up so late reading and get some sleep :) I hated this book. I am sorry. I wanted to like it, since I loved The Tea rose, and liked the second book. I never liked Willa and in this book it turned into hatred. First off all: writing this that mention eating less to stop your mentrual cycle is, I have no words for this. I don't care why she would do it. Willa is in my opinion one of the weakest characters I have ever seen. No matter how Jennifer Donnely tries to write her as this selfminded, strong women, she is in my opinion weak, and runs away from everything.Now for the worst part. No matter how hard you try, you can't make me hate Jenny. It felt like this. Well, I need a reason for my reader to hate this normal, sweet person, let's make her keep all this secrets, and turn her into a puppet for a spy, that'll work....No it doesn't. It just made me hate Seamie. Jenny was desperate and why? because the *sshole is having an affair. AN AFFAIR! Why on earth would you think that I want to read about a man, who is married for a month, hopping into bed with an annoying, uncaring person. oh but I love you, barf. Honestly, I don't even want to write about this book anymore. I'll just pretend I've never read this trainwreck and move on.
What do You think about Die Wildrose (2012)?
I thought it was a great ending to a great series but did tend to go on In some places

Very interesting but a bit formulaic by book#3.
