review 1: This book captured my interest until the last page though Margaret's loyalty towards her brother,uncle,betrothed and clan got old after the author's endless effort to point them out. I love the book but Margaret's constant daftness really ticks me off. Also, it seemed that Alexander and Margaret's love for each other comes rather too easily...but that's always how it is in these novels set in medieval times. The 4 stars are for the history tidbits in this story, I have always loved to read Bruce's battles for the Scottish throne.
review 2: This is a story about a woman who is tested in her loyalties between a family she loves and supports and a love that she fights, but cannot deny. In a time when a country and a people are being torn apart by a war for a king ... moreand a kingdom. A time of political alliances and clan disputes when women were used as political bargaining tools and war was a way of life. This is a great historical romance. The romance is plot driven and one aspect of the story, but not THE STORY. History is the story and the characters and romance are woven into history. A Rose in the Storm is the best historical romance I have read in many years. I've gotten away from reading this genre because often times they are written as modern people set in a historical time setting. I like a historical that makes characters true to the time, and yet still manages to give brave, courageous women and strong, but caring men. I don't know that any one does it better these days than Brenda Joyce! I was definitely googling to see what actually happened historically and how much liberty had been taken with the known history of the time, and for the most part Joyce stuck to the actual events, while telling a compelling love story. less
