A review of “The Christmas Rose” by Suzanne M. Hurley
The Christmas Rose is written in the first person and the reader is very swiftly drawn into Olivia Lyon’s life. In fact, the novel is so well written that you could almost believe that Olivia was a real person.
At thirty-two, Olivia is the principal of a school, Centennial High in Belltown. Her mantra is, “she never wants or needs a man” but then she falls for Dave, a married con man who plays upon her good nature and takes her money. Worse, Dave also has a vengeful wife.

The story line is made all the more realistic by sub-plots concerning the theft of a valuable ornament and dealing with a disrespectful member of staff.

The Christmas Rose

has a plot that twists and turns like a snake. But I’m not revealing any more.
Read the book.

Five Stars *****
