4.0 out of 5 stars Spirited Americana, May 17, 2000

This review is from: Prim Rose (Mass Market Paperback)

Rose Martin's family farm has been sold to an English duke, and Rose is supposed to be on her way to Boston to go to Finishing School. Rose does not care about becoming a Proper Young Lady; she wants to stay and farm her family's land. Of course, she is s ure the duke won't stay long once he sees that Kansas is not England--no temperate climate, no exciting diversions, no life of leisure: just a lot of hard work.

Alexander Warrick, Duke of Moreland, wants to take an extended vacation in America, and has purchased a country estate to that end--but he was expecting cool trees, not barren heat. The young lady who still lives on the farm is entirely improper, not kno wing the correct way to behave towards her betters. Nevertheless, Alexander is determined not to go back to England yet--he needs time away from the decisions that face him there.

It's obvious to Rose that Alexander knows nothing of farming, so she stays on to help him, hoping that he will soon be driven away and her beloved farm will once again be hers--and Alexander has no argument since he can't even milk the cow. As they share chores on the farm and the small sod house Rose grew up in, they get on each other's nerves more and more--but also intrigue each other. The third and final book of Millie Criswell's Flowers of the West trilogy is as delightful as the first two. (And no, you don't have to read the other two first.) Rose is a gem--wonderfully outspoken, determined to think and act for herself. Secondary characters and setting add to the charming tone of the story; plot twists keep the reader wondering. PRIM ROSE is a spirited picture of Americana, full of sexual tension and sensuality.

5.0 out of 5 stars An absolute delight to read!, November 23, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Prim Rose (Mass Market Paperback)

Prim Rose was extremely enjoyable. It is full of wit, humour, love and passion. It is preferable to read the two books preceding this one in the trilogy because Ms Criswell offers us a wonderful surprise reunion towards the end of Prim Rose. The Flowers of the West Trilogy will guarantee to make you sigh with a smile!
