A Rose in Plotlands: Her heart aches to belong. His heart beats just for her. In a world that tries to separate them, can love prevail? (The Heart of Plotlands Book 5) Kindle Edition

by Dawn Knox (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.8 out of 5 stars 7 ratings

5-Star Review - 'The main draw of this book for me was its well-developed and multi-layered characters, not just Rae and Jamie. Even the secondary characters feel like real people with distinct personalities, and the relationship dynamics are compelling. Author Dawn Knox is a master of her craft and knows how to keep the reader invested in her characters.' Pikasho Deka for Readers' Favorite

Her heart aches to belong. His heart beats just for her. In a world that tries to separate them, can love prevail?

Impulsive Rae Kingsley yearns for acceptance and finds herself caught in a tangle of misplaced loyalties and reckless decisions. Overlooked by her family and led astray by a manipulative friend, Rae's path seems destined for disaster.

Jamie MacKenzie’s unwavering love for her has burned since childhood. But guarding her heart, Rae pushes him away, blind to the depth of his devotion. Despite disapproving parents and societal expectations, their forbidden friendship blossoms as war engulfs the world. When a perilous mission to Dunkirk threatens to tear them apart forever, Rae must confront her true feelings.

Will their newfound love be enough to keep them safe—or is it too late?

A Rose in Plotlands is the heart-warming fifth standalone book in The Heart of Plotlands historical romance saga series.

If you like sweet romance, family loyalties and deep bonds of friendship, then you’ll love Dawn Knox’s uplifting and moving story set in the Plotlands of Dunton, Essex, before and during World War Two.

A Rose in Plotlands is the fifth standalone novel in The Heart of Plotlands series by Dawn Knox. Rae Kingsley was nine years old when she met Jamie MacKenzie, the son of a boatyard owner near Dell Quay on the Fisbourne Channel. Despite their different family upbringings, Rae and Jamie develop a close bond of friendship that seems unshakeable until Rae is sent to boarding school and meets Bobby. Bobby is a carefree teenager with a penchant for reckless pursuits, and she inadvertently ends up causing trouble for Rae. As the years pass, Rae and Jamie renew their friendship but struggle to convey their inner feelings to each other. But after World War II breaks out, and the two take part in a dangerous rescue mission, Rae and Jamie risk never meeting each other ever again. 

A Rose in Plotlands is a beautiful story about love overcoming the unforeseen obstacles of life. This captivating tale of two lovers will bring much joy to fans of historical fiction and romance. The plot is nicely paced and thoroughly engaging. Set against the backdrop of World War II, the narrative follows the lives of two youngsters from different social classes in England, covering a decade from the early 1930s to the early 1940s. The main draw of this book for me was its well-developed and multi-layered characters, not just Rae and Jamie. Even the secondary characters feel like real people with distinct personalities, and the relationship dynamics are compelling. Author Dawn Knox is a master of her craft and knows how to keep the reader invested in her characters.

Dawn spent much of her childhood making up stories filled with romance, drama and excitement. She loved fairy tales, although if she cast herself as a character, she’d more likely have played the part of the Court Jester than the Princess. She didn’t recognise it at the time, but she was searching for the emotional depth in the stories she read. It wasn’t enough to be told the Prince loved the Princess, she wanted to know how he felt and to see him declare his love. She wanted to see the wedding. And so, she’d furnish her stories with those details.

Nowadays, she hopes to write books that will engage readers’ passions. From poignant stories set during the First World War, to the zany antics of the inhabitants of the fictitious town of Basilwade; and from historical romances, to the fantasy adventures of a group of anthropomorphic animals led by a chicken with delusions of grandeur, she explores the richness and depth of human emotion.

A book by Dawn will offer laughter or tears – or anything in between, but if she touches your soul, she’ll consider her job well done.

She has been a finalist in the Wishing Shelf Book Awards for 2017 and 2020, Readers' Favorite Book Awards 2018 and Independent Author Network Book of the Year Award 2018.

Dawn has also written two plays about the First World War, which have been performed in England, Germany and France.
