The
Rose of Shanhasson
Joely Sue Burkhart
Reviewed by Ann Marie Chalmers
Shannari is the
last daughter of Our
Blessed Lady and is destined to rule as High Queen.
If she doesn’t the Green Lands will fall into
eternal darkness. Shannari has to
survive a battle with a barbarian, marryhim kill her former
fiancé and make
it home in one piece to complete her task.
Life is never easy for this feisty woman.
Unfortunately the
men in her life are not
as co-operative as Shannari would hope them to be.
She is worth fighting for and they just won’t
take no as an answer. However she
doesn’t believe in love after her last lover tried to kill her. So she has become fast, furious, strong and
nothing can distract her. Although one
warrior Rhaekhar is doing a good job of keeping her mind else where
with his
sexy body and smooth talk.
Shannari’s blood is the key to everything
and with her magic crippled love is the only thing that can restore her
full
potential. Will she let her guard
down? Will she fall in love?
Stubborn as she is maybe she will give in and
make some mistakes.
This is a fantasy filled read with
barbarians, royalty and honour. Smoothly
written this is romantic and racy with some steamy scenes that will
make any
reader blush. On the other hand this
book also has its fair share of blood and torture.
Not for the faint hearted this is a book that
will either be loved or hated.
The Rose of Shanhasson is the third book
from author Joely Sue Burkhart and also the third book in the Blood and
Shadows
series. Following Survive My Fire &
The
Fire Within this book only builds on the interesting world this author
has
created.
