Absolutely exquisite. Never the Roses is a stunning entry into the realm of romantasy with a broken yet fiercely powerful heroine, a hero who will wend his way into your heart and set up camp and a story you will not be able to stop reading until you have savored every delicious wordDarynda Jones, New York Times bestseling author of First Grave on the Right

An absorbing read!Connie Willis, Nebula and Hugo-Award winning author of Doomsday Book and The Road to Roswell
