AWARDED NOTABLE INDIE - BEST OF 2019 BY SHELF UNBOUND

There’s everyone else in the world. And then there is you.

World-class heart surgeon Dr. Peter Sutter runs his life with the instinctive precision of a master of the universe. But when he leaves the operating room, the only living thing waiting for him is a golden retriever. Then a chance encounter with an enigmatic woman changes everything.

Exploring the depths of Rosalind's intoxicating body and captivating spirit, Peter quickly falls under her spell. Miraculously, the feeling is mutual.

But fate is waiting just around the corner. And it might be carrying a lead pipe.

Rosalind is a sensual, witty, moving story about the joy of real love, the surprise and delight of unexpected passion, and the transcendent power of human connection.

Editorial Reviews

Review

A sophisticated, elegant love story for grown-ups. What a wonderful surprise this book was. It is so rare, in vulgar 2019, to read a love story that's so adult, so sophisticated, and so elegant. This is a true love story - an old-fashioned love story - not a trite, formulaic romance novel. It's not "erotica," but it's genuinely erotic - erotic in a grown-up way. After reading the first page, you will want to read the next, and then the next, until suddenly, you realize to your sorrow that the book is over - but the characters will stay with you long after the last page. Unforgettable.- Claire Berlinski, author of Loose Lips and Lion Eyes

5.0 out of 5 stars One Word - Sensual
Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2019

I came across this book by accident, and I am so glad I did. Rosalind is a quick read, not only because of it's length, but it is also hard to put down. Beautifully written, the author weaves a tale that is fascinating as it is sensual. And I learned a few new words along the way.
Rosalind is a love story that stands out from the many I have read lately, and one that kept me pondering until the very end. I've never been to New York, but felt every drop of rain, every slippery sidewalk, and the richly written characters are a credit to the author.
Loved it!

4.0 out of 5 stars Heartfelt and real
Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2019

Some pacing quibbles in the latter section aside, this is another memorable piece from Deborah, including another classic scene at an orchestral performance to follow that stunning set piece in A FALLING KNIFE. I enjoyed that book for its intricacy and keenly observed dialogue; ROSALIND will stay with me for its believable intimacy and quietly flawed characters, who shine brightly but are still allowed faults. If only this author were more prolific.

The love story was good, the characters interesting, the medical descriptions accurate BUT the story just stopped. You will have to use your imagination to determine what happens. Many people seem to like this book but I definitely would not have read it if I had know how it ended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Romance for Grownups

I'm a long-time reader of Judith Deborah, who started out enjoying her Evan Adair police procedural, " A Falling Knife". I was notified about the release of "Rosalind" (the first of the Colville Stories) and dipped in expectantly. What a treat: romance for grownups. It's richly-textured, truthful, and truly fun. I'm glad I spent some time with Rosalind and Peter in Colville! I'm eagerly-awaiting the next entry in the series.

This book was kind of creepy and spent a lot of time wandering around inside the main characters head. I would not choose another book by this author.

4.0 out of 5 stars a treat for the senses...
Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2019

4 1/2 stars. The author "has hidden depths up the wazoo" (from the book), meaning I never expected to see this kind of work from this author. She has major writing talent, combined with a "killer instinct" (you have to read her to understand), a unique combination to be sure. To borrow from her favorite Wodehouse, she seems to revel in writing "like a kitten in sunshine.”

An absolute joy to read until the author had me in tears, and impossible to put down after the mid-point, even during scenes I might be tempted to skip in the hands of a lesser writer. I thought I knew where Judith Deborah was going with this, but nope. The ending—the whole story, really—is unforgettable.

5.0 out of 5 stars Elegant and well observed love story
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 21, 2022
Verified Purchase
I found this touching and gentle love story to be seamlessly written and well researched. Here are two decent people who for reasons we come to find out later in the book have never found true love. Until the day they meet in the hospital ward. The descriptions of their inner feelings are quiet, thoughtful and touching. And there was a thread that strengthened throughout, that these were individuals with a troubled past (a lot of us can relate to that...) who had finally found the other part of the puzzle to them that made them whole. The characters were beautifully developed and I enjoyed the initial angle that he fell in love at first sight - hence the rush of obsession as he seemed to know instinctively that she was the woman to complete him - and she was so brutal to him but softened and so their love was given soil to grow and thrive. I felt that although it was written with great sensitivity and lyricism, you also had the really funny banter between them - and also Peter's secretary - loved her so much, which provided a nice balance.

Very well written. The characters are believable and it is easy to fall into the realistic world that is woven around them. The author's command of the English language adds to the enjoyment of the reading. The twist at the end came out of nowhere but is seamlessly integrated into the story.
