"I love him more than poetry... I love him more than song."
Ever since he rescued her from Certain Death, Rose Brier has had a crush on Ben Denniston, otherwise known as Fish. But Fish, struggling with problems of his own, thinks that Rose should go looking elsewhere for a knight in shining armor. Trying to forget him, Rose goes to college, takes up with a sword-wielding band of brothers, and starts an investigation into her family's past that proves increasingly mysterious. Then a tragic accident occurs, and Fish, assisted by Rose's new friends, finds himself drawn into a search through a tangle of revenge and corruption that might be threatening Rose's very life. The climax is a crucible of fear, fight, and fire that Fish must pass through to reach Rose and conquer his dragons.
The long-awaited third volume in the Snow White and Rose Red
trilogy by Regina Doman, based on another well-loved Grimm's fairy tale.

Happiness, sorrow, fear, excitement, thrill, joy, hope, despair, doubt, belief, anxiety, relief, contentment, exhilaration, laughter, tears: "Waking Rose" provides the perfect whirlwind of emotions that every book should have.
"AWESOME!"
Wow! And I thought the first two were good! This one just blew me away! Rose and Fish are the coolest characters ever...
It arrived yesterday and I finished it at 12:30 this morning. As soon as I announced that I was done, my sister pounced on it and swept it away. She had been waiting up for me to finish it so she could read it!
Thanks, Mrs. Doman for another great book! I'm so glad to finally know the end of the saga. I wish there were some way that the "fairy tale retold" books could continue!

"Enchantment"
The very talented Regina Doman, in her "fairy-tale novels," has taken some popular stories and re-imagined them for our time. I would hesitate to classify them as books for teenagers alone, since I at forty-five years old could have easily read "Waking Rose" at one sitting, and would have, had not other duties called. Indeed, my only problem with the book is that I could not turn the pages quickly enough or read as fast as the suspense compelled me to do.
I am truly impressed with Regina's ability to tackle difficult issues and ugly situations in a tasteful manner. She can create a poignant, heartrending scene without doing violence to people's sensibilities, as... More >

"AWSOME!"
This book was well worth the wait. This series of books is my favorite! Thank you, Ms. Doman for writing good, wholesome Catholic books in the 21st century. I would recommend this book for anyone who likes an exciting adventure story. Even though it is not a short novel, I read it in less than 2 days, and I am not a fast reader. I literally COULD NOT put it down! It definatly was not a book that you read a little at a time; rather, you will want to read it all at once. I had to stop reading it and go to bed, and the first thing I did after I woke up was start reading again. :) I was so looking forward to this, and it was better than I expected! :)
