5.0 out of 5 stars To all Romance readers, .....GET THIS BOOK!!!, October 30, 1998

By A Customer

I only wish that there where more stars available to rate this book. I finished reading it early this morning, by 2:00 a.m., and I was supposed to wake up at 5:30 a.m., to go to work. I was not able to wait until the next evening to finish it because the story had me so deeply involved that I had to know what was going to happen. I've read several romance books and this one is by far, THE BEST OF THEM ALL!!!. It's a true original masterpiece. This book made me cry of joy, made me laugh until my stomach hurt (so much that my husband would look at me as if I was going mad), made me feel like you will get everything you want out of life only if you want it very badly. Morgan is the ultimate hero, he's for lack of better words the personification of all a woman could want in a man, he's honest, proud, loving, misterious, a savage gentleman and on top of all, irresistibly handsome, what a combination! Sabrina is innocent, beautiful, courageous but has been spoiled by everybody. They go through several obstacles most of them placed between them by themselves. Their story is full of love, passion, betrayal, danger and humorous anecdotes. I want to thank Ms. Medeiros for ever thinking of becoming a writer and for bringing, to the world of us readers, such joy through her work.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pride--Love--Sacrifices... A 10 stars!, October 18, 2001

By	Abbys (Moreno Valley, CA United States) - See all my reviews

After reading 3 non-impressive books in a row, I was afraid I'm loosing my taste for historical romance novels. I've reread my favorites to bring back my mood in vain and so I decided to read a book from one of my favorite authors. THANK YOU, Ms. Medeiros for bringing me back on track with this poignant story of Morgan and Sabrina.

I would give this book a 10 stars if I could. It's been awhile since I have enjoyed a story this much that I was afraid for it to end. Well, it has to end sometime, I know...but I am in no rush, so I was slowly reading this one, absorbing every detail and pleasuring every moment of it yet I still found myself saddened when it finally came to an end. Of all of Teresa Medeiros books that I've read, this is by far her best work. And ONE of the few best ones I've read as well. The plot is one tracked yet eloquent. Characters are impressive even the secondary ones. But Morgan and Sabrina are the prime ones of all. There are no lovey-dovey words between them, but the essence of their affection is clear. I too prefer to read the "three important words" in all of my books, however obvious it may be but Morgan and Sabrina's love for each other was written beautifully... so deep and strong that I too didn't particularly fuss about this self-preference. The way they handled the trials and errors that came their way was surely proof enough. The element of surprise found in this story utterly quenched, warmed and enjoyed my heart. So many unexpected twist and so many heart soaring scenes... Aww, I don't want to mention even one scene here cuz I want readers to feel the goosebumps first hand. Lots of funny moments as well, ones that will make u laugh out loud. *Sigh* Maybe there's a sequel for this book? Since I am a sucker for Epilogues, which unfortunately is not found in this book, perhaps Ms. Medeiros will find time to create story for Alex or Brian, Sabrina's brothers. That way, I would read updates of Morgan, Sabrina and their offsprings.

Overall, this book is funny, exciting, heart warming, deeply affecting and thoroughly satisfying. I recommend this book with all of my might. READ and once again be AWED by this author.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book! Leaves You Wanting More, February 4, 2003

By	D. Cramer (Oklahoma, United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This was the first book I had ever read by Teresa Medeiros. The other romances that I had read just seemed like they had too much lovey dovey stuff. Ms. Medeiros definately does not do that. This book is everything a romance should be and more. There is just something about Ms. Medeiros' writing that won't let me put a book down. Since I read this book I have continued to read other books by Ms. Medeiros, and all of her books will leave you wanting more. I have found though that out of all the ones I've read, A Whisper of Roses, is by far my favorite. I have read it about 6 or 7 times, and it still has the same effect on me. I'm always disappointed when it's over. I recommend this book to anyone who loves a good story. It will bring all of your emotions out of you. You will go from sad to happy, and more than once you'll catch yourself laughing out loud. I really love the witty commemts made between Morgan and Sabrina. I feel that I can really connect with Sabrina, and maybe that is why I love this book. If you want a good story and a lot of entertainment then this is the book for you. You should know that all of Ms. Medeiros' books are great also. She is such a talented writer that she knows how to make the reader feel like he/she is there in the story.
