Review
Matchmaking comes as easily to Victoria Lesser as breathing. Then two of the couples she has brought together decide to turn the tables, and set up a match for her with a treasure-seeking professor who's sailing to Costa Rica. Usually fearless, the intrepid Victoria gets cold feet, and talks her niece, Shaye, into coming with her. The professor shows a little caution, too--he's brought along his nephew, Noah. As the four of them head for their exotic destination, sparks fly between Shaye and Noah, and the older couple can't help but fan the flames. This classic Delinsky romance, originally published in paperback in 1987, dramatizes a two-generation battle of the sexes, with both parties in each pair thoroughly enjoying the war. Sexy and steamy, this novel will introduce versatile and popular Delinsky, who is still going strong, to a whole new generation of readers. --Booklist, 15th September 2009

A Single Rose captures the true essence of romance, makes you feel like your on the treasure hunt with Shaye and Noah. Great love story. Can't wait to read more of Delinsky.

A Single Rose,
By A Customer
This review is from: A Single Rose (Mass Market Paperback)
Definitely not the best Ms. Delinsky has to offer. I believe this book was originally published in 1987, and compared to her recent books, "Lake News" or "The Vineyard", "A Single Rose" is shallow, has no real story line or deveopment of characters, and has the most lame dialogue I have ever read. Would suggest you not buy this book.

A Single Rose - brilliant,
This review is from: A Single Rose (Mass Market Paperback)
This book is wonderful read again and again - the heroine has a strong willed temperament matched by the male arrogance, and the supporting characters are hilarious.Strongly recommend this book - could not put it down. Regards P.Brown
