Three of the Clayborne brothers' unusual courtships are described in this book. The storylines include a woman being escorted to meet her mail-order husband, a pregnant widow in need of protection, and a gospel singer on the run after a thief tries to steal the church money.
I can't believe these books were once published on their own. All of the plots were rushed and thinly developed. The characters were barely distinguishable from each other. There was scarcely any romantic interaction between couples, much less passion. The only decent book of the three was One White Rose, which told of the woman who is in labor when her Clayborne man arrives. At least that one is funny. Garwood's signature humor is not present in the other two books, and I didn't feel I had read anything substantial after I completed this trilogy.

I should have rated all 3 of these books seperately. One Pink Rose I would have only given 4 stars but One White Rose and One Red Rose would both get 5 stars!
I have read all of Julie's books and I don't think these seemed rushed at all, although some people seem to believe they were. I would have enjoyed if they were longer but all the same i enjoyed them. Travis's story 'One Pink Rose' was good but he was never really my favorite brother. Although I did love how Emily brought out the softer side of him. It also expaned on his charcter more than we were able to see in For the Roses. Now Douglas's story "One White Rose' is absolutely one of my favorite Garwood books. The humor in this book is tremendous, i can't even tell you how many times i had to stop reading because i was laughing so hard! The story line was completely different from Travis's story which was a relief. I feared all 3 stories would be too similiar. Ms. Garwood didn't disappoint me. I have read One White Rose several times and the ending is the absolute best! I won't elaborate in fear of giving anything away. :) Adam's story 'One Red Rose' was again refreshingly different from Travis and Douglas' stories. He was always so disciplined, it was nice to see a lady make him lose his control for once. Genevieve was so well written. She was a perfect match for Adam, just ask Mama Rose...she'll tell you just that! :) This story started back at the ranch and the whole family was there, and i truly enjoyed Garwood's thoughtfulness of letting us revisit with all the members of the Clayborne clan. They were lighter reads than her usual, but ravished with Garwood's fascinatingly, unique style all the same. Great reads and I definitely recommend them.

I loved the characters and the settings. I've never read any of Ms. Garwood's books before but I will look for more. I love the bigger-than-life characters, the head-strong women, and the hot, but not-pornographic love scenes. I considered giving it 4 stars instead of 5 because: A) It was a bit predictable, though still enjoyable; and B) It was incomplete. What about Cole?!

Like other reviewers, I adore the Clayborne family and so I was looking forward to reading about Douglas, Travis, and Adam. I liked the first two stories, and I gave the book 3 stars because of that. However, Adam's story was the worst. In "For the Roses," one could see that Adam's past as a runaway slave had an impact on his persona as well as current events in his life(i.e., his hesitation to leave the ranch). In "The Clayborne Brides", there is little mention of this...with only a passing reference to the Gettysburg Adress. I also expected a little more realism in Adam and Genevive's story; there is no mention or hint of any prejudice or bias two African-Americans would have dealt with in that time. Not that those things take precedence in a romantic story but to ignore it is an insult to both characters. Read the "One Pink Rose" and "One White Rose" but don't bother with "One Red Rose."

To enjoy this series you first have to start with "For the Roses" this book sets the whole scene for the rest of the series. I read One Pink Rose, One White Rose, and One Red Rose all in one day I just could not put them done. Since then I have read them four or five more times. I could not wait to read Come The Spring. This book was the perfect ending to the most fabulous series.

These quick stories show just how much a man loves a woman. Big strong Cowboy brothers each fall in love with a woman and protect them. How wonderful, Travis Clayborne finds Emily irresistible. Douglas Clayborne respects an loves Isabel. Adam Clayborne protects and falls for Genevieve. In 3 hours hear 3 stories by Julie Garwood that make you smile and feel good. Hours of enjoyment!!!

These three books were ok, however they weren't as exiting as Garwood's other novels. The stories were fast and there really wasn't that much passion for the charaters. I guess Garwood didn't have the space to write her usaual passion that she devotes to all her novals. I do have one question, isn't there one more brother who didn't get his book?

I loved this series! I read each brother's story and couldn't wait for the next one. The only complaint I have is that each story was too short!! I want to hear more about this family! The Clayborne brothers were magnificent heros and filled my dreams with images of Montana cowboys.

Clayborne Brides I Loved the book for the Roses bu this one was dissapointing the first story in the book is good and the second one was okay but by the third story you could tell that all the stories were almost exactly the same so it was hard to finish reading the One Red Rose.

I loved all three books. They were funny and exciting. I enjoyed the Claybornes in "For the Roses" and I was very delighted when Julie Garwood worte about the Clayborne brides. I like the interaction between the brothers, which is why I like Douglas story more. Then Adam's story which is thrilling and exciting. Then Travis' story which is very funny and loving. I would have liked it if Julie Garwood would have really introduce Mama Rose into each story, instead of just talking about her. Julie Garwood has created with the Clayborne family a rich and loving family in the truest sense.

Ever since she published Prince Charming, Garwood hasn't been up to snuff. I am a big fan of her other books, The Gift, The Bride, and The Prize to name but a few. Lately, though, it seems and if she is selling out and not putting as much effort into the characters and stories. I felt like I was back in middle school reading a harlequin romance (yuk!) I hope that she will write better in the future.

These three books were just great. They were fun, romantic, exciting... very enjoyable reading. My favorite of the three was One White Rose. It made me laugh and made me smile. But all three of the Clayborne Bride Trilogy were excellent reading. Perfect for a lazy day when you just want to kick back and read.

Unfortunately, I borrowed these from the library. There were 3 separate books. But I LOVED everyone of them. I laughed, I cried...What a gifted writer. I love the Clayborne stories. I am now reading Come the Spring...but havent been able to locate The Wedding. I do have one complaint though...I wish the stories would have been a little bit longer.

This was another good book, though I wished that the characters were more fully developed then they were. I would have loved it if there could have been a full novel for each of the brothers. However, this book is great if you can't read it all in one sitting.

"One Pink Rose" was the first Julie Garwood book I read, and I enjoyed it very much. At first I was lost a little, but in the end, it was a great and understandable book. I would have to say that this is my favorite book out of the three. "One White Rose" was okay. I didn't like the plot as much as the first book, but overrall, I liked it. For "One Red Rose", I would have to say that it was like "One White Rose", but like I said, overrall, I liked it. "Come the Spring" was what made the series so great.
