The brothers had once been a mismatched gang of street urchins—until they found an abandoned baby girl in a New York city alley, named her Mary Rose, and headed west to raise her to be a lady. They became a family—held together by loyalty and love if not by blood—when suddenly they faced a crisis that threatened to tear them apart.... Trouble came to town with one Lord Harrison Stanford MacDonald. Armed with a swagger and six-shooter, he cut a striking figure—but it soon became apparent to Mary Rose that he was too much of a gentleman to make it in her rough-and-tumble town. She asked her brothers to teach him the basics of frontier survival, which he acquired with ease. And soon he possessed a deep and desperate love for Mary Rose. She returned his affection wholeheartedly... until MacDonald revealed a secret that challenged everything she believed about herself, her life, and her newfound love. Now her search for identity and meaning would begin, raising questions that could only be answered if she listened to the truth within her heart....Particularize Books Concering For the Roses (Claybornes' Brides (Rose Hill) #1)

3.25 StarsI loved this book when I first read it 20+ years ago, this time I listened to the audiobook. The narration was well done, but it was just too long. I think I would have liked re-reading (and skimming) better than listening.This was a little disappointing, but I haven't given up on Julie Garwood. She's still one of my favorite authors for historical romance.5This Book Owns My HeartStars I can't even begin to express how much I love this story. I'm a HUGE Julie Garwood fan and I pretty much love any historical romance she writes, but this book stole my heart like few of her other stories have.

Despite its flaws--and there are many--I enjoyed this story of an unconventional family in the Wild West. I enjoyed it enough to check out the sequels from the library and am now looking forward to reading a trilogy of novellas about three of the brothers.
I loved this so much. There are no words. *HAPPY TEARS*Such a beautiful story. Mary Rose was such a well written- sweet, kind hearted and loving character.Found as an abandoned baby and raised by 4 orphans into one of the sweetest woman ever, everything goes well until Harrison, the lawyer, sweeped in their life and stole Mary's heart.I loved everything about it- I loved the humor, the bond between family, the letter to the mother, the passion between the main couple, and the angst too. Every
I love this book. I love how Julie has created a family. A family, although they were different, they were and knew what family is all about. My favorite brother is Cole Clayborne. :) He's a good, bad boy.08-31-09 I'm adding an updated review, to the already view I have given the book. I've reread this book in August 2009.
