Resumen del Editor

Morgan Hayes grows up in the 20th century with a mysterious attraction to a hollow suit of armor that stands in the window of her mother’s antique store. She is 24 years old when she becomes entangled within the armor’s metal plates and is whisked back in time, where she is mistaken for a twin sister she knows nothing about. Morgan is forced to marry King Henry’s favored knight, Derek Vanguard, Lord of Braddock Hall.

Abandoned by his mother and having failed as a child to gain his father’s love, Derek’s heart is as cold as the stone walls of his castle. In the end, will Morgan discover the true power of love?

Reseñas de la Crítica

"The ending was so well written it gave me chills, and I purposely read it slowly because I didn't want the story to end. I hope there's a sequel in the not too distant future." (Caroline Fyffe, award-winning author of Where the Wind Blows and Montana Dawn)

I Got The Wrong Book But Glad I Did

I was looking for another title and thought this was it. But super glad I did. the narrator read with such enthusiasm it made the journey really good.

loved

I enjoyed the book. Great story from beginning to end that included the past and future.

Refreshing, Fun and a Nice Escape

A very different kind of audio book for me, but really enjoyable . . .time travel . . . kings and jousting matches . . . the story is well written, and I quickly got very attached to the characters . . .The modern day/centuries old fairy tale was a sweet story of much human value ... children growing up yearning for the love and nurture of their parents . . . and the way it all unfolds is unexpected and wonderful.

Terrible performance sound - screechy nasal twang

What did you like best about Return of the Rose? What did you like least?

The performance

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

too mediocre to listen to the end

How could the performance have been better?

Yes! A softer voice.

Do you think Return of the Rose needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

no

Any additional comments?

If the sound of the annoying voice wasn't so bad I might have been able to listen to it just for fun.

WONDERFUL story

The narrator was overly dramatic and very theatrical but I got used to her. In spite of her antics I gave this book a big thumbs up. I couldn't put it down, this was a fast paced action packed time travel love story with a fairytale ending that brought tears to my eyes. Ok call me overly Sensitive but I loved it.

great story.

it made me laugh , made me cry and made me feel in love.

Light listening for entertainment

Any additional comments?

This book is interesting enough to be entertaining without making you think. Sometimes that's just what you need in a listen. The narration was good, I liked the characters. What would have taken this book to the next level would have been more historical facts. The author glosses over this with our main character's lack of historical knowledge, but it would have been a good addition. Still, the story was a fun listen.

great ending

Any additional comments?

this story had one of the best endings I have ever heard! the story itself was terrific, but the ending was the best!

A FAIRYTALE STORY AND FUN

I really enjoyed this time travel romance about twins Morgana and Amanda born in Medieval Britain, Morgana was sent to the future as a sick babe to hopefully find a cure for her. Then, when she is 24, she's sent back in time and meets Lord Derek Vanguard and is mistakenly understood to be Amanda, her twin sister who is betrothed to Derek by the King but who had escaped.

It was a funny enjoyable romantic tale about Knights and castles and dreams coming true, no it wasn't 'historically acurate' but I don't think it was supposed to be, so don't look too deeply into this book - it's pure escapism and it's an easy listening fun romp through time.

I thought the narrator did a great job and didn't speak too fast for me but if you're concerned then sample her voice first..

Worth my credit? Yes, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

loved it heart warming story

narrator was very good, i really enjoyed this story with its up and downs and strange twists they Ending was better than Expected, a most Enjoyable Listening Experience,
