These books deserve their own reviews but, sadly, I read them really close together and now I am having a hard time remembering what happened in each of them.
They are the completion of the trilogy that began in The Tea Rose. The Winter Rose is about a 'lady doctor' named India Selwyn-Jones who is trying to help the poor residents of London. She gets involved with the notorious crime boss who just happens to be the long lost brother of Fiona Finnegan (the heroine of The Tea Rose.) Confused yet? It takes a long time, but it all works out. Which is why this book is the bomb-diggity.
The Wild Rose continues the story of the Finnegan family. This one focuses on Seamus Finnegan, the youngest brother. He is a brash adventurer (is there any other kind of adventurer?) who falls in love with Willa on a mountain climbing expedition. She has a terrible accident and loses her leg...yep. She hates her life and Seamus because she can no longer 'adventure' so she moves to some far off place for about three hundred pages. It's a whole lot better than I made it sound here.
So, seriously, you have to read this series. But, ideally, read one book a month rather than gorging on all three back to back. Your brain will thank you.
