REVIEW

Devyn Rose is a sweet tale, but we do not meet her till a little further into the book. I found it a bit off-putting since the book is titled “Devyn Rose”, I thought the whole book would be her story. The setup is these servants are out on a picnic. They are all couples and the oldest in the group tells his dream of creating a little village in the area they are picnicking in and his dream of having an Inn, and the others could have their dream place at the village too. They all agree and with the Kings approval, it gets built. Soon they all marry to have children, then their children have children, thus enters Devyn Rose and her story then begins.

As with all of Henry’s heroines, Devyn Rose is a strong empowered woman of her time, yet it’s that strong will that gets her tangled up in danger that nearly ends her life. This is due to the two shady strangers that have come to work at her Father’s Inn. The end result is nothing like you’d think.

Overall Devyn Rose is the perfect book to read on a Sunday afternoon curled up in your favorite chair with a nice warm cup of coffee beside you.
