Rose Cottage (Abridged) Audiobook

" Predictable from the get go except for one detail -- but how important is paternity, after all? Fun read, though. "

" This promised to be far more interesting than it actually was. There were a variety of things I didn't like about it - mostly, however, it boiled down to feeling like a quick job. It was only mildly engaging and seemed rushed and tired all at once. Also was not keen on the spiritist neighbour lady. Didn't find the characters came to life or that I really cared about them much. "

" Entertaining book, a little cheesy, but cute. "

" A very easy read, with an interesting story line. "

" I really loved Mary Stewart's historical and modern romances when I was a teen/twenty something. Combining historical and modern adventure with (clean) romance, they were fun for me to read. They're a bit dated now, but still fun for those who are still idealistically romantic. "

" I enjoyed the story, and was loathe to put it down near the end. However, for me, it left a few too many things to my imagination. I would have liked the author to continue the story just a little bit further. "

" I loved all her books when I was a kid and they were coming out at about yearly intervals. I didn't like the Arthurian books and stopped reading her. Recently saw this on the shelf at the library and took it out for old time's sake. It wasn't romantic and also wasn't mysterious. Finished it though. "

" It was a light, lovely read. As always, Mary Stewart comes up with vivid descriptions. "

" Not a horrible book. A little ho hum. If you need a relaxing read that has a little mystery in it, this is a good option. "

" Just a lovely little brain candy read. I used to read Mary Stewart romances in high school, so this brought back memories for me as well. "

" This was a lovely story about reconnecting with one's roots. It is a light read and the story is somewhat slow-moving, but it has a great ending. I loved it, but I am the type that likes a gentle read. "

" A very light read - infact, there is almost nothing to it! "

" A very sweet love story, a quaint lovely cottage, and a mystery to solve. "

" This is my second-favorite Mary Stewart novel, after Thornyhold. A little suspense, a little romance, and a good read. "

" This gentle, old fashioned mystery was an entertaining read. Unlike some of Stewart's other books, this story does not involve a murder; just a little family intrigue. Nothing riveting but her writing style is enjoyable. "

" A woman searches for clues to her past in the house she once lived in. Along the way she finds mystery, danger, and romance. Easy to read, suspenseful. "

" I read this book on the plane home. This book was just okay. Nothing like her King Arthur books. "

" Any Mary Stewart book is pretty much like comfort food. Nice, enjoyable little read with just enough Stewart-like twists. "

" Mary Stewart is my favorite author, I've been reading her since the late 80s. This newer one was not up to her usual work though. I was pretty disappointed. There was no ending where the lead character is alone with the evil guy, no suspense at the end really. "

" I lurk about on blogs from people in Great Britain, and this was suggested by one of my favorite bloggers. It was sweet, but kind of predictable. "

" A short enjoyable read if a little predictable. I loved Mary Stewart's Merlin trilogy and while this is very different, I still enjoyed it! "

" Another of my top 3 mary stewart novels. "

" A gentle yet tantalizing mystery which unfolds in the English countryside. A comforting, home-coming, tea-drinking read. Have a biscut. "

" The solution of the mystery in this novel was apparent to me far earlier than usual in Stewart's books. The setting and its description were lovely, making the final revelation worth the expected ending. Stewart makes the English countryside and small village come to life in this tale. "

" Not a ton of substance, but a very enjoyable read with a more believable romance than Nine Coaches Waiting (much as I liked that book). 3.5 stars. "

" A little slow for me but a sweet love story. "

" The story was a wee bit slow, but I still liked it well enough. "

" A sweet novel of family and live in a bygone era, the world of the english village in the early post-war years. "

" Sweet story. No tension. Old fashioned. It was a nice change from current best sellers. "

" A sweet mystery, romance done Mary Stewart style! "

" If you're trying out Mary Stewart for the first time, don't read this. It was so dull it took me years to remember she'd written some of my favorite books. "
