"Karen Rose Smith is the author of many sweet and passionate series romances, but this extraordinary book may just prove a breakout for her. It contains everything found in a major single title novel. THE BRACELET takes Laura and Brady through almost forty years of ups and downs. Some of the experiences they face are heartbreakingly real, but so are their strengths and their love. So well written is THE BRACELET that I never felt I was being told a story; I felt part of the family and experienced all the fears and joys of its members. For that reason, and for the lesson in hope it provides for us all, I'm awarding THE BRACELET one of RRT's rare Perfect 10s."

Jane Bowers - Romance Reviews Today


"For those of you that lived through the sixties and early seventies, Karen Rose Smith's, THE BRACELET, will encompass you with vivid memories of those turbulent times.  And for those of you who've come afterwards, Laura and Brady's story will give you stunning snapshots of an era when hopes and dreams were fraught with fears and futures were sometimes decided by the roll of a number.
      There are times in all of our lives that our hearts simply can't forget.  THE BRACELET eloquently shows how those memories can hold two people together and yet at the same time keep them apart.  From the moment I began reading THE BRACELET I was captivated.  Ms. Smith's keen eye for detail and deep understanding of everlasting love between a man and a woman makes this book absolutely wonderful and one I won't forget."
