"Another knockout installment to Monica Murphy's stunning series"

Rose isn't the most obedient daughter like her sister, Violet, nor is she the most wild like her sister, Lily. Instead, she gets the honor of being the sister everyone expects to fall in line and be quiet while working hard when all she wants is to find her own light. When stepping out of her normal role, she meets Caden, a seriously hot guy with an equally serious edge. She knows she probably shouldn't be trusting him so quickly, but there's something between them that makes her feel free for the first time in her life.

Monica Murphy outdoes herself with the second installment to the Fowler Sisters series, STEALING ROSE. Focusing this time on the youngest sister, Rose, Murphy crafts a romance that's all about freedom: freedom from familial obligations, freedom from pasts that lead to dark places, and freedom to wholly feel something special when others only issue warnings. Combined with the dangerously sexy love interest, Caden, and the nonstop adventure of a plot, this is a story that will have no trouble keeping readers up at night, devouring chapter after chapter.

My favorite part of this book is Rose's character development. She is young, in desperate need of her own room to grow away from her family, and in want of a little fun. Her journey in finding herself, finding love, and finding a place in life she is comfortable and happy in being is paced wonderfully and realistically.

Though the ending did leave me with mixed feelings, I absolutely adored STEALING ROSE. Monica Murphy shows incredible talent with this book, and I can't wait to see where she takes readers with the next book.

SUMMARY

Perfect for fans of Christina Lauren and Emma Chase—the second novel in New York Times bestselling author Monica Murphy’s sizzling series about three powerhouse sisters and the men who would have their hearts.

People say the youngest child has it easy, but nothing can be further from the truth. Unlike my two sisters, Violet and Lily, I’m never in the limelight. I just work my butt off for Fleur Cosmetics and get little to no thanks for it. I’ve been pushed too far one too many times, and I’m finally brave enough to do something about it.

Maybe my newfound courage has something to do with the amazing pink and white diamond necklace I wear to the party in Cannes. The instant those dazzling heirloom jewels touch my skin, they excite some deep, aching need inside. And when that guy—that totally gorgeous guy—locks eyes with me, I know this nice girl is going to be naughty.

For once it’s my turn. My turn to say no to my father, to outshine my sisters, to walk away from it all—straight into the arms of a mysterious stranger. But what if Caden is much more than I bargained for? Sure, he makes me feel sexy and free in a way I never have before, but there’s something else I can’t quite place—something dangerous. Maybe our “chance” meeting wasn’t so random. Maybe he was looking for me for a reason. Whatever his motive, there’s no going back now.

And maybe I don’t want to.
