This was a emotional read. Rose just wants to be noticed and loved. I found myself rooting for her, she was a great character. Ross strong protective all around alpha male. This story has steamy hot and had some hard to read scenes. It is fast paced and a smooth read. Well written and thought out. I recommend it to all. I received it from booksprout and voluntarily reviewed it.
I have to say Rose is something else! Her antics to get her father’s attention are priceless. Her father is old school and wants to marry her off to the son of his rich friend all of which she is opposed to doing. She meets Ross at a rodeo and they have a connection. They get closer when he comes to do the renovations to their kitchen in the mansion. This is a touching story where Rose and Ross’s connection blooms but will a blunder by Rose end things before they take off the ground?

This book is part of the Kingsbrier Quintuplets Novel Series but it read as a standalone. Rose and Rose are great characters that you’ll learn to love as they do. She had it all except her billionaire father’s attention and love. Rebellious and headstrong, Rose makes life interesting and difficult at times. Lots of twists and some surprises along the way. I read a reader copy via Booksprout and voluntarily chose to review. This is my first book by this author and I was impressed with her work.
I had some trouble getting into the beginning of this book, but I did get more engaged as the book progressed. I liked the emotions in this book. Rose’s desire and need of her father’s love and approval is something that will resonate with many readers. So are her actions when she realizes any attention is better than being ignored. Ross is just a great guy. He’s smart, capable and kind. Together, I felt that they made a good couple. However, there is a lot to work thorough along the way.
