A beautiful listen
A huge Victoria Connelly fan. Follow up to The Rose Girls. A beautiful tale painting pictures of Christmas, roses and old loves. A nice journey back to meet and catch up with the Hamilton sisters and their lives. A story which starts and ends far too quicly. Hoping for another Rose Girls book.

The Christmas Rose
This book was a great sequel to The Rose Girls.
It would have been nice to know more about Uncle Portland and what happened next with the movie star. But overall it was a really good book!
