Addictive Series
The Burning Roses is one of the best in the series. There is a very addictive quality to this procession of books. I have read them all and reread most of them. Harrod-Eagles writes enchantingly.

Obviously, Harrod-Eagles is most interested in this period of history since this is the second of her books to focus on the war. ...
