Oh man, where do i begin: Well I must say that I read this book overnight and I am upset that I finished this book too quickly.
This book tells a story about two rivaling sisters who happens to be twins and one twin ROSE kind of envied her sister VIOLET because she was always the calm one and innoncent instead of sneaky like herself. Violet was a strong woman to me because she put up with a lot of mess from her sister and past lovers. Rose betrayed her sister. This book is intense and steamy. I hope there is a sequel to this novel because it was really a good book.

Sheila Goss's Roses Are Thorns Violets Are True is an excellent debut novel. The book is about twin sisters, Rose and Violet. As children Rose always got her way and Violet got what's left. Nonetheless, Violet, now a Director of Community Affairs, is sure of herself, confident in her work and satisfied with her life as an adult. Rose is successful as well, with a great movie career and a budding singing career. However, Rose is not satisfied. She wants Violet's life as well, more importantly her husband. Violet and Davis had been happily married for seven years. Violet decided to play hooky one day and left early from work to come home to prepare a romantic dinner for her husband. When Violet got home she discovered her husband in bed with her sister. After Violet and David divorced, Rose and David married under the pretense that Rose was pregnant. To this day, David regrets what he has done to Violet and is on a quest to get her back. In the interim, Violet has moved on with her life. She's dating occasionally and hangs out with her best friend and co-worker Janice. With her mother's coaxing Violet starts to talk to her sister again.
