Debbie Heaton's Reviews > Scent of Roses

Martin has produced another irresistible novel that blends the eerie and unexplainable with her own uniquely sensual style. I couldn't put it down!

Merged review:

In Martin's paranormal romantic suspense novel, family counselor Elizabeth Conner isn't sure what to think when Maria Santiago came to her for help. Pregnant and terrified, Maria claims to be visited each night by the ghost of a little girl, warning her to flee. Her husband, Miguel, a migrant worker at Harcourt Farms in the San Joaquin Valley, dismisses her fears as hormonal changes. Sympathetic to the young woman, Elizabeth agrees to help by contacting Miguel's employers, who own the cottage where the young couple lives. Elizabeth immediately picks up on enmity between the brothers and quickly aligns herself with Zack who grudgingly agrees to help her research the history of the house. Drawn together by unexpected desire, they both feel something dark and sinister in the house. And when the cloying scent and lingering chill of evil surround them, Elizabeth knows something terrible happened there. Martin has once again produced an irresistible story that blends the eerie and unexplainable with her own uniquely sensual style.
