Charlene Raddon has been writing historical romance novels
for over thirty years. Her work has won several awards and much well-deserved
praise. Here is what she has to say about her newest release.
Any day when a new book is released is exciting
for the author. I’m thrilled to announce that my eBook, The Scent of Roses, is now available.
The Scent
of Roses
is a sequel to my last eBook, To Have And
To Hold, but stands alone and does not need to be read in order to be
enjoyed. Whip Kincaid, from The Scent of
Roses, is the half-brother of Buck Maddux from To Have and To Hold. Whip also has a twin, Cale, who readers met in
Buck’s story, which gives me an excuse to write a third book for this series.
The added touch of paranormal elements made The Scent of Roses a fun story to write.
Who doesn’t enjoy haunted houses with hidden passageways? When I first moved to
Utah, I lived in this house. No, there weren’t any secret passageways, but in
every other way, my description of the old house is accurate. The third element
new in this book is the subject of polygamy.
Rosalyn Delaney came to Whisky Ridge, Arizona expecting
to receive aid from her estranged husband, Josiah Bullock, in escaping the
crazed leader of a polygamist cult determined to have her. She’s broke and has
nowhere else to go. But Josiah is dead, murdered the very evening of her
arrival. The town is in uproar, searching for the suspected killer, Josiah’s
business partner, Whip Kincaid. Rosalyn also learns that Josiah has taken a
second wife.
Whip is innocent but to prove that, he needs to
stay out of jail. He hides in secret passageways in the old house he and Josiah
shared. Smythely, the elderly butler who came with the house, is the only other
person aware of the passageways. Lurking between spiderwebbed walls and using the
abundance of peepholes provided allows Whip to keep up with what’s going on.
Sneaking out at night allows him to investigate. He’s particularly interested
in Rosalyn Delaney, and for more than one reason. Besides being attracted to
her, he’s sure she knows something about the murder.
But does she? Is she safe at Rose House? Will
she be safe from Whip Kincade?
I hope you enjoyed this peek into The Scent of Roses. Find it here, at Amazon.com.

I am giving away a ebook copy (your choice of kindle, epub, or pdf) of my highly rated and best-selling book, Yellowstone Heart Song, Book 1 in the Yellowstone Romance Series, to one lucky commenter. Winner to be announced at he end of the bloghop on June 25th.
"I am not good with words, but you make my heart sing, Aimee..."Nurse and avid backpacker Aimee Donovan is offered the opportunity of a lifetime. She encounters a patient who tells her he can send her two hundred years into the past to spend three months in the rugged Yellowstone wilderness at the dawn of the mountain man era. The only requirement: she cannot tell anyone that she’s from the future.
How did a white woman suddenly appear in the remote Rocky Mountain wilderness? Trapper Daniel Osborne’s first instinct is to protect this mysterious and unconventional woman from the harsh realities of his mountains. While he fights his growing attraction to her, he is left frustrated by her lies and secrecy.
Daniel shows Aimee a side of Yellowstone she’s never experienced. She is torn between her feelings for him, and exposing a secret that will destroy everything he holds as truth. As her three months come to an end, she is faced with a dilemma: return to her own time, or stay with the man who opened her eyes to a whole new world. When the decision is made for her, both their lives will be changed forever.
Good morning, Peggy! I'm delighted to hear about your blog hop and wanted to greet you. I have already purchased the first two books in your Yellowstone series, but I will be stopping along your various hop stops anyway...so you'll be hearing more from me. :-) jdh2690@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteOops! I meant Charlene's various hop stops, and Charlene will be hearing more from me! :-) It was good of you to host one of he hop stops. jdh2690@gmail.com
DeleteI agree, Janice, it was nice of Peggy to host me today. Her books are great, aren't they? Thanks for stopping in.
DeleteI meant to tell you, too, that time travel has always kept me in its thrall. What a fantasy it is, but I would love to hop back into the Old West just for awhile . . .

HI Janice! Thanks for stopping by and joining the hop! And yes, the idea of time travel is really fun, and makes for some good stories to write. After I finish my current work in progress, which is strictly historical, I'm going back to a time travel story.
DeleteSounds like a good read.

Good morning, Ingeborg, how are you today? I feel like we're old friends now, only I know nothing about you. Have to resolve that.
DeleteWow, Charlene...this book looks REALLY fun!!! I am going to have to check it out for sure! Sounds like it will bring out my inner sleuth!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Barbara. It's a sequel to To Have And To Hold, and you might get more out of Scent of Roses if you read the first one, but they can be read separately.
DeleteCharlene, this sounds like an amazing book!! I am excited to go get both of them on amazon!! I can't wait to read them!
