Review
The year is 1775 and Phillip Monroe is a spy for the Continental Army. A mission has brought him to Montreal and his friend Stephen Conway provides the perfect cover for him. Phillip secures a job working for Stephen's sister at the Conways' inn, the Chateau Royale. War is on the minds of everyone and Phillip's job is more dangerous than most. He knows better than to get involved in a personal relationship, but when he meets Arissa Conway he learns all is fair in war... and love. Arissa oversees the running of the Chateau Royale and carries on her father's medical practice. Phillip is an interesting and intriguing man but she cannot begin to guess the secrets he keeps. She knows he is a widower and the father of a young boy, but Phillip's tragic past is locked away inside a heart that hasn't yet learned to let go. As for Arissa, she is content with her life-until she meets a man who makes her long for something more. Phillip and Arissa seem to step from the pages of history in this stunning love story. Linda Windsor has done a remarkable job of bringing her characters to life in a richly textured novel of love and war. Canada provides a beautiful and not often seen backdrop for Ms. Windsor's story. Second in the Canadian Cousins Series, Winter Rose is a memorable read. Readers will be anxiously awaiting the third book in the series, Border Rose, due out in August 98.Linda Windsor's writing sparkles! A passionate story of love and war! A definite keeper! Readers will be charmed by Ms. Windsor's characters! Readers won't want to miss the Canadian Cousins Series! Winter Rose will warm your heart! Linda Windsor is one of the finest authors in the genre! An emotionally compelling, historically accurate novel!Kristina Wright --
