Stephen Kenyon, duque de Ashburton, siempre se ha tomado muy en serio las obligaciones propias de su título. Pero una noticia inesperada le lleva a alejarse de su mundo de riquezas y privilegios y emprende un viaje sin rumbo por el campo haciéndose pasar por un hombre sencillo. En su desesperado vagar, conoce a Rosalind Jordan, y las esperanzas que ya creía muertas volverán a la vida desde lo más profundo de su corazón. Pero, ¿cómo va a declararle el amor que siente si su existencia se ha convertido en una cuenta atrás que le atormenta día y noche, si guarda un secreto que le ha hecho huir de todo lo que hasta no hace mucho poseía? I'm really fond of this book. I like ones where the main character thinks he's dieing and goes about closing out his affairs and doing the things he feels he should do before he dies. Of course since I like happy endings, I only like these books if the character doesn't really die. Here the hero sets off to travel and discovers love. I really enjoyed Stephen and loved the travelling players he meets. Well drawn main characters and secondary characters. Such a lovely romance, bitter sweet yet HEA❤️ Here's my full review: http://www.sholee.net/2018/08/mpov-one-perfect-rose-fallen-angels-7.html keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

HTML:Few romance novels have touched readers as deeply or as lastingly as this classic by New York Times bestselling author Mary Jo Putney. Poignant, passionate, and tender, One Perfect Rose is the story of two mismatched lovers drawn into a fragile, unforgettable union... <CENTER>One Perfect Rose</CENTER> Stephen Kenyon, the new Duke of Ashburton, has always known exactly what society expected of him. But a doctor's grim diagnosis leaves him longing to experience life as never before. Traveling incognito, he becomes entangled with a wandering theater family and their spirited adopted daughter, Rosalind Jordan. With no time to waste in courtship, Stephen convinces Rosalind to marry him--an arrangement that has advantages for both. The warm companionship and profound passion they share is more than Stephen expected, and far more than his family and his own guarded nature ever allowed. But each passing, perfect day together is a bittersweet reminder that love is the one thing he is not at liberty to offer, and the one thing she can never admit... "In her superb, inimitable style, Putney takes a pair of magnetic, beautifully matched protagonists, places them in a dark, impossible situation, and makes it work." --Library Journal "One Perfect Rose is Mary Jo Putney in top form." --Romantic Times.

I found it interesting that while many elements of the book were tropes that let me know where the story was going, I was still engrossed and tense while reading. Stephen is such a gentleman, and Rosalind is the cheerful, common-sense woman that he needs. In places, it's heartbreaking as they confront the short period of time they have left.
I also found the bits about the traveling actors fun and interesting. Ms. Putney does a wonderful job of describing their lives as they go from town to town, performing in barns and glades for appreciative villagers. It's another great book in this series and now I'm going to skip back to read the rest. ( )
