I enjoyed reading Rose by Lauren Royal.  Rose is a well written book with fun characters, some humor, drama and a bit of heat.  I look forward to reading more from Lauren Royal.  This is a complete book, not a cliff hanger.

This is not my first Lauren Royal book, and it won't be my last.  I enjoyed reading Lily's story and look forward to reading the next book in the series.  Lilly is a well written book with lovable characters, bits of humor and suspense, topped off with a little sizzle.  This is a complete book, not a cliff hanger.
