Books from the Backlog #5

Books from the Backlog is a fun way to feature some of those neglected books sitting on your bookshelf unread.  If you are anything like me, you might be surprised by some of the unread books hiding in your stacks. This meme is hosted by Carole's Random Life in Books!

"ONCE UPON A TIME" IS TIMELESS

When Rose's mother dies, her only comfort is the exquisite rose garden her mother left behind. The purple blossoms serve as an assurance of her mother's love. But Rose is dealt a second blow when her father dies and his greedy widow, Ombrine, and her daughter, Desirée, move in and take over the manor in true Cinderella fashion.

Fate has been cruel to Ombrine and Desirée, too. So despite their harsh ways, Rose has compassion. But these feelings are bitterly tested when, in a rage, Ombrine tears out the garden. Rose nearly gives up all hope--until a chance meeting with the king. Happiness might be within her reach, but first she must prevail over Ombrine. And then she must determine if she has the courage to love.

So The Rose Bride by Nancy Holder was added to my TBR around September 2011! I believe it was purchased at a signing with Nancy Holder and Debbie Viguie! I remember starting this Once Upon a Time series and didn't realize it was still continuing! So naturally, when this was at the signing I had picked it up to be signed! And alas, I still have not read it! I want to for sure!
