Novelspot Review for "A Band of Roses"
Monday, October 12, 2009

What a delightful surprise to find this review today! The reviewer is Rob Shelsky, and he posted his review of "A Band of Roses" on Novelspot. Here's an excerpt:

"As with all alternate reality books, one must accept with a willing suspension of disbelief that such a universe can exist, and would be the way it is in the story. At accomplishing this, some authors are better than others, and Ms. McDermott is one of those better authors. She weaves a fast-paced tale in a believable setting, one filled with action, adventure, intrigue, and strange twists . . . A Band of Roses is a well-rounded, action-filled novel, one with a strong element of romance, and a book that will keep the reader on the edge of their seat. I highly recommend A Band of Roses by Pat McDermott. This story thoroughly deserves a 9 out of a possible 10 rating, for it is a nearly perfect read!"

Thank you, Mr. Shelsky, for brightening my day!

New Reviews for A Band of Roses
Friday, May 8, 2009

Popping in quickly to share excerpts from two 5-Star reviews A Band of Roses received this week.

BD Whitney of Book Wenches Reviews (5/3/09)
says: "A Band of Roses combines political intrigue, adventure, science fiction, and romance into a well-written and fascinating package that will appeal to a wide range of readers. . . the tension pulls so tight that it positively vibrates, and I found myself holding my breath and reading faster to keep pace with the action numerous times."

Denisse Alicea of The Pen and Muse (5/4/09) says: "Pat's work has become one of my favorites and sure fire book to recommend to others. This is an author to keep on your watch lists for more works to come."
