Product Description
Ancient Irish traditions remain strong in a world where High King Brian Boru survived the Battle of Clontarf and established a dynasty that rules Ireland to this day. When greed for oil prompts England's Regent to claim an Irish island in the North Atlantic, Irish Crown Princess Talty becomes a pawn in a murderous plot to seize the throne of England.

A must read! April 14, 2008
Finicky book reader
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
This is a fast-paced, action-packed love story set in today's Ireland, but with a twist. This author supposes that kings and queens still rule Ireland to this day. Murder and treason send Crown Princess Talty, the present King Brian's daughter, to strange worlds where she encounters Vikings, desert nomads and romance, and returns home at last with an amazing discovery.
You will not be able to put this book down! I hope she writes a sequel soon!
Band of Roses: A masterfully told tale May 4, 2008

Band of Roses by Pat McDermott is an exciting, masterfully told tale that spans the globe and thousands of years. Skillfully drawn characters spring to life in the form of dashing Irish heroes and a very kick-butt princess who'll win your heart.
Modern day Princess Talty must wed a developmentally delayed King of England for the good of her country. When the wedding goes horribly awry, she picks up the tattered pieces of her life to fashion a new existence isolated from those she loves and depended on.
From the opening scenes, where you'll be squirming in your chair, to the ending chapters, where you'll be on the edge of your seat, you'll be assembling the odd bits of scattered puzzle pieces until the entire picture becomes clear and striking.
The heart of Band of Roses is a tender love story with a satisfying and feel good ending that makes the reader want to stand up and cheer. Kudos to Ms. McDermott for weaving a fanciful tale that seizes the imagination and takes the reader on an emotional roller coaster ride.
