Clayborne Brides: One Pink Rose, One White Rose, One Red Rose by Julie Garwood
Clayborne Brides by Julie Garwood spins the individual stories of three spirited Clayborne brothers of Blue Belle, Montana -- once a mismatched gang of street urchins -- in a trio of special novels that begins with One Pink Rose. Travis Clayborne may be the youngest of the Clayborne brothers, but he's most definitely his own man. Unless it means saying no to his beloved Mama Rose. And that's why Travis is escorting young Bostonian Emily Finnegan to Golden Crest, Montana -- where she'll discover what awaits her as a mail-order bride. Emily has made it perfectly clear that she's taken charge of her destiny and nothing is going to interfere. Falling in love with the perfect stranger isn't part of her plan, but the journey with Travis across this beautiful, rugged land opens her eyes...and her heart. Perhaps her destiny isn't exactly as she imagined.In One White Rose -- Douglas Clayborne will never turn his back on anyone in need, and everyone in Blue Belle knows it. Time and again, his intolerance of cruelty of any kind has made him a champion of the defenseless...but his quiet strength faces its ultimate battle when he meets Isabel Grant. He arrives at her ranch to pick up the magnificent Arabian stallion he's purchased, but he cannot leave the vulnerable woman behind when he discovers the danger that threatens her. Convincing the stubborn, strong-willed beauty that she needs him is another matter. Douglas can stop the men from stealing her ranch and her horses, but he cannot stop Isabel Grant from stealing his heart.In One Red Rose -- Adam Clayborne has always put great stock in the power of books. As an escaped slave and a wanted man, reading has been his only ticket to the wonders of distant lands. Adam is content with his life as a confirmed bachelor, which is why his Mama Rose has summoned the irresistible Genevieve Delacroix to Montana. Also a former slave, Genevieve shares his dream of seeing the world, but she arrives to find Adam unfailingly polite and just as distant. Undaunted, Genevieve determines to teach Adam what he'll never learn from a book. That true freedom only comes when you open your heart.Be sure to read For the Roses first.

The Clayborne Brides
One Pink RoseAs a favor to Mama Rose,Travis is to escort mail-order bride, Emily, to her unknown groom. I love traveling romances. They can't get away from each other, no matter what they do and the time together invariably forces a fast intimacy. The chemistry between Travis and Emily was great, and though we didn't get to see much of the rest of the family in this one, we did meet some new characters that were just as good.One White RoseDouglas goes to pick up a horse he bought and finds widow Isabel alone, ready to give birth and in dire need of help. Isabel and Douglas were great together and I especially enjoyed the interaction between Douglas and Isabel's newborn son, Parker. Douglas's internal dialogue regarding his feelings toward Isabel's departed husband was also interesting and comical at times. By the end of the story my patience with Douglas was wearing thin, but the ending was great and I felt he redeemed himself.One Red RoseThere was mention at the end of For the Roses of Mama Rose bringing a bride home for Adam, but there was a delay and it took Genevieve all this while to finally show up, and even then she brought trouble with her. Genevieve took quiet, reserved Adam and led him on an adventure from the very beginning, though he was unwilling to participate at first, and she didn't much care for him coming along. It was interesting to see more of Adam, who is normally so quiet and kept more in the background. The mystery with Marshal Ryan and the golden compass continues, and hopefully it will be put to rest in the following book, as part of Cole's story.I look forward to reading the last book in this series, Come the Spring, about the last and my most favorite Clayborne brother, Cole.

More of the Claybornes from "For the Roses"
It was so nice to get to read about Douglas, Travis, and Adam. I had wondered about Cole until I saw that there was still "Come the Spring" to tell about Cole and more about Daniel Ryan who was introduced in these. The only thing I could find wrong with this book was that each story was too short :) I know that they had to be shorter to fit all three in one book, but I wish they each had their own novel! :) Other than that I thought these books were all great just as I think every single book Julie Garwood has written was great. I don't think she'll ever write a bad book - she's just not capable of it!

No bells..no whistles!
ONE PINK ROSE: A sweet story of Travis Clayborne finding his Bride. Cut and dried..game over, but told well. Best of the three stories.ONE WHITE ROSE: Fast paced story told without hooplah. It could've been so much better!!! Second best of the three stories.ONE RED ROSE: Are you frikkin' kiddin' me??? Seriously?? Poor excuse for a plot...Genevieves' character pathetically underdeveloped. Some mystery, little intrigue and if it weren't for the epilogue there'd be absolutely NO romance to this story. Attraction, yes...romance, no! Such a tragic flop!!Too bad each of these brothers didn't qualify for their own well laid out story in complete book form.

Very sweet, all the makings of a wonderful story
I just love this family, each member is a story in themselves, thank you Ms. Garwood for adding the extra touch of racial charm to the story. It was just what made this a great book. I hope for more like this to come.

幸せな気分に(少しは)なれるかも
ガーウッドの現代ものでおなじみのセクシーであぶないFBI捜査官、ノアクレイボーンのご先祖、クレイボーン4兄弟の内、3人がそれぞれ主人公となるお話です。私としては断然第一話の「One Pink Rose」がお気に入り。楽しい気分になりたい時に取り出してきて読みます。誠実に生きているのにろくな目にあわない自分を変えようと、文通相手と結婚するために都会から西部にやってきたヒロイン。笑えます。
