Return of the Rose

By: Theresa Ragan

Narrated by: Katherine Kellgren

Morgan Hayes grows up in the 20th century with a mysterious attraction to a hollow suit of armor that stands in the window of her mother’s antique store. She is 24 years old when she becomes entangled within the armor’s metal plates and is whisked back in time, where she is mistaken for a twin sister she knows nothing about. Morgan is forced to marry King Henry’s favored knight, Derek Vanguard, Lord of Braddock Hall.

Abandoned by his mother and having failed as a child to gain his father’s love, Derek’s heart is as cold as the stone walls of his castle. In the end, will Morgan discover the true power of love?

Critic reviews

"The ending was so well written it gave me chills, and I purposely read it slowly because I didn't want the story to end. I hope there's a sequel in the not too distant future." (Caroline Fyffe, award-winning author of Where the Wind Blows and Montana Dawn)

Refreshing, Fun and a Nice Escape

A very different kind of audio book for me, but really enjoyable . . .time travel . . . kings and jousting matches . . . the story is well written, and I quickly got very attached to the characters . . .The modern day/centuries old fairy tale was a sweet story of much human value ... children growing up yearning for the love and nurture of their parents . . . and the way it all unfolds is unexpected and wonderful.

Terrible performance sound - screechy nasal twang

What did you like best about Return of the Rose? What did you like least?

The performance

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

too mediocre to listen to the end

How could the performance have been better?

Yes! A softer voice.

Do you think Return of the Rose needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

no

Any additional comments?

If the sound of the annoying voice wasn't so bad I might have been able to listen to it just for fun.

WONDERFUL story

The narrator was overly dramatic and very theatrical but I got used to her. In spite of her antics I gave this book a big thumbs up. I couldn't put it down, this was a fast paced action packed time travel love story with a fairytale ending that brought tears to my eyes. Ok call me overly Sensitive but I loved it.

great story.

it made me laugh , made me cry and made me feel in love.

I Got The Wrong Book But Glad I Did

I was looking for another title and thought this was it. But super glad I did. the narrator read with such enthusiasm it made the journey really good.
