Scent of a White Rose Blog Tour

It's not everyday that my friends decide to write a book. I've known Tish for a while now, thanks to such sites as Shelfari, and I'm really excited to see her put her work out there and to see what her hard work has come up with. I admire her courage and work. Since I know writing a book isn't easy (I've started many, never followed through), I'm honored to have her on the site to day and to introduce her work to my readers.

Be sure to check out the next stop at http://bookshelfsophisticate.blogspot.com/  tomorrow!

About the Book

A vampire's love...
An innocent's guilt...
A secret no one could've imagined...
A paranormal romance that entices with a heroine that isn't quite what she seems, a vampire whose love story is filled with dark surprises, and a vampire clan whose Sire has lost the ability to inflict "the change".
~ ROSE ~
I'm Rose Reynolds. I have recently lost my Mom in a "freak accident".
Now everyone sees me as an innocent girl.... a “white Rose”.
But I have a secret that no one can imagine.
I'm not as innocent as everyone thinks…
~ CHRISTIAN ~
I'm Christian and I’m in love with Rose. I also have a secret as old as time.
I’m a vampire.
No, she doesn’t know…yet.
But when our new Sire is revealed, I'll petition them to change her.
Because truly, I can't live without her...


Guest Post from author Tish Thawer



I would first like to thank Aimee for hosting a stop on my blog tour. I have been a follower of her amazing blog for quite some time and am truly humbled by her review and grateful for her constructive criticism.

So...with her accurate words of "less telling, more showing" ringing in my ears, I thought for today's guest post I would have some fun and show you who I would choose as my fantasy cast for Scent of a White Rose.

Christian: Alex Pettyfer


Rose: Elisha Cuthbert






Evangeline: Evangeline Lilly



Dax: Cam Gigandet








Dominique: Scarlett Johansson


Tori: Christina Hedricks








Bobby: Stephen R. McQueen (with blonde hair)




Terrance: Eduardo Verastegui





Jillian: Camilla Belle









I'd love to hear who your fantasy cast is...if you have someone in mind for a particular character, let us know by leaving it in a comment below.

Now don't forget to find the smoking roses and follow them to leave a comment for the Treasure Hunt. Tell me how many roses you found today and where you were when you found them. (And p.s., make sure you follow Coffee Table Reviews if you haven't already!)

Thanks for playing,

~ Tish Thawer

Review

Scent of a White Rose is a simple, easy and fast read. I read the whole thing in a span of an afternoon. Told from the point of view from a variety of characters, we get to see into the mind of almost the whole main group.

Ms. Thawer sets up her vampires a bit differently than everyone else. From their creation story, to who is able to make more vampires. This isn't a book where just any old vampire can bite someone and turn them. I liked that because it gave a bit of conflict for the novel. The only thing I would like to see more in the second and third book is less "telling". The characters lay everything out for the reader instead of showing the reader what is going on. But overall, it's a good read with a promising storyline.

3/5 stars

Ooh all very nice! I have this on my Kindle. Story sounded really good. Will try to keep an open mind about all the "telling". But still look forward to reading it!

Aimee said...

It's still a good read!

Your choices for the actors to portray your characters are right on the $$$. I read the book on my Kindle the first day it came out and can't wait for the next installment. Way to go for your first novel Ms. Thawer!:}
