This is an interesting story with very good characters. I would have liked more backstory as to why Odelia was trained to fight.
I also saw quite a few issues and errors in the first few chapters, as well as in the rest of the book.
One that many men pined for. Should be 'one that for many men had pined'
"...when they were allowed to."
"It was plain and very different from the usual style of ruffles and ribbons that she had once been accustomed to." Sentences should not end in the preposition 'to'. Not only is is incorrect to end sentences with prepositions, the 'to' is completely unnecessary.
Nothing that had borne fruits. should be 'fruit', singular. Not plural
When she had finally come to after denial had passed and acceptance had dawned, she had finally inquired and her maid had told her her Aunt was responsible for them. She would hold her dear to her heart- always.
'Finally' is redundant
It had been two months since a messenger rode into Emmelstone Manor like a storm was on his tail. His urgency had worried everyone, but the moment Odelia had laid her eyes upon his face, fear had ceased her heart.
She had known instantly. How she had, remained a mystery to date. Yet, she had felt it in her heart, and she had known why a chill had befallen her all day.
Leah was quick to drape her cloak around her. Odelia welcomed the warmth it brought and, with her fingers, gathered the thick velvet closer around her. Yet, the chill remained in her bones, and something nagged at her heart.
Was it a bad omen? A sign of something terrible to come? What more could happen? She had already lost the people dearest to her heart. Too much unnecessary repetition. These bits need to be reworked.
She was no naivete. What does this sentence even mean?
And at such a time like this when she was not done mourning her dead? 'Done' should be finished or through. She is not a roast or a meat loaf.
“Ahh… Alas, I was not, and wishful thinking never did any man any good. ‘Tis only to put a damper on his mood.
Sentence needs to end with quotation marks.
"noble thing to do" is repeated excessively, throughout the book. Too repetitious.
The word "great" is not correctly used in most of the book. It is used as American slang. I think I only saw two places where it could be considered to have been used properly, as in above the normal or average. It is used MUCH too often.
"Her head, it ached. It ached so bad..." "Bad" should be "badly". Adverbs are important.
This is not a bad story. The characters are well drawn, the mystery plausible, the flow good and the ending nicely written.
HOWEVER, there are errors and redundancy all through the novel. I have pages and pages of notes and corrections. I think this book needs to go through a major edit before it is released and you are asking people to spend their money on it.

I found it difficult to put this book down. The Action began right at the beginning of the story and did not end. Scene after scene kept me glued to each page as it described what people were saying, what they were doing, how they were dressed, what the surroundings looked like, even the sight and smell could be imagined. The author did an incredible job with imagery. I felt I was right there with the characters whether by land or by sea. The characters were excellent. Their personalities shined throughout the telling of the story. The secondary characters were just as impressive. The villain was depicted as a mad man walking about as a gentleman. I especially enjoyed the extended epilogue. It added a nice clean finishing touch to the story. A must read. You will not be bored or disappointed. I highly recommend it.

Wonderful Story!! Lady Odelia lost her parents. Then she was kidnapped. She manages to escape but ends up in the sea and washes up on a beach. Captain Arnold and his crew find her. She has lost her memory. Who is she? Where does she live? Is she married? Does she have a family? What has happened to her? This story has everything you could possibly ask for. Danger, evil, turmoil, drama, romance, battles, mystery, intrigue, distress, suspense, adventure, trust, love and forgiveness. Twists that will keep you reading right to the end. Characters are strong and fleshed out. Plot is well thought out and story is well written. I recommend it.

She has lost everything but found love…
Lady Odelia has lost everything she holds dear; her family, her home, and her memories. She would have lost her life if not for the timely intervention of Arnold Reynes, captain of the Sea Rose. Now, with the help of Arnold and his crew, she will either overcome treachery and regain a place in her old life or build a new one.
This story has romance, battles, danger, and mystery; everything I love in a historical romance. Fanny Finch always delivers. I especially liked the extended epilogue offered at the end of the book, which gives readers a glimpse into the future of the character’s lives.

Strong characters. The story was very emotional for me(with tears), although the story is off such a nature that one cannot put the book down because off the suspense to know that there must be a happy ending. Worth reading if one does not mind the occasional sadness.
November 5, 2019
A Sea Rose for the Duchess is a lovely sweet but sometimes dark Regency romance with interesting characters and vibrant settings. The entertaining story will keep the reader turning pages till the end.

What goes around comes around
This is a great change of pace for lovers of Regency Romances. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Odelia was mourning the death of her parents. Having no siblings, she was now alone to fight off the advances of a very determined Duke. He had gambled away his father's fortune and had been disinherited so he was intent on marrying her to grab her dowry.
Odelia was found unconscious having washed up on a Spanish shore. She finally awoke on a ship with no memory of how she got to Spain or even what her name was. The Captain of the ship, Arnold who was a Duke himself, did his best to assure her of her safety and would see her back to England to her family. They were asea for quite some time because he had been enroute to Italy escorting another ship, before going back to England.
During several weeks sailing they became friends and fell in love each not telling the other their hearts desire. Will Odelia recover her memories? Will she be tricked into thinking she's already married? Will Captain Arnold be able to rescue her yet again? Many twists to the story.
There is an extended epilogue that takes place 20 years later which was perfect.

A sweet, sappy, clean love story with a slow burn romance and slow moving plot. The premise of the story was very interesting but it kinda took awhile to get to the good parts then it moved almost too quickly and then slowed down again. The twists were almost too predictable and contrived. I enjoyed some of the characters but wanted to get to know them better. For instance the doctor was just mentioned as a good doctor but not much else except his name. I would like to have known a little more of his personality, background and experiences. I wanted to really like this story but it kinda fell short of the five star rating. I would give it a three and a half stars but rounded it up to four because of the romance between the H and h.
November 11, 2019
4.5 stars! There is nothing I love more than a romance that is set on the high seas. This book was so good. I loved the main character even though she lost her memory (on the back cover) she was still strong and wasn’t afraid to figure out why she lost it in the first place. The captain of the ship was so nice and a true gentleman and although I like my pirate/ ship captains to be brudish it was refreshing to read one who was a gentleman! I loved this book! Highly recommend if you like romance, books set on the high seas ,family and books that have the main characters who rediscover who they are.

Lost at Sea
A young woman was found washed on a beach. It was obvious that she was of the upper class because of the way she carried herself and her gentle manner with others.
Captain Arnold Reynes had much experience as Captain of a ship, but finding a beautiful young woman was a real surprise. Odelia seemed to be close to her name so that is what they began to call her. She was unsure where she had come from, but her speech sounded like that of an Englishwoman, so when the ship docked England some time later, the captain began his search for the family of Odelia.
Read this book so you can learn her real story.

It started out a little slow but soon picked up. This was a very exciting story. It had pirates, fights at sea, and kidnapping. Very action-filled and exciting. The writing was excellent and definitely kept your attention. You kept waiting for more. The author uses a nice smooth style and her characters are heartwarming and so lifelike. I highly recommend this novel that can be read by all.
