About this ebook

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.

Ratings and reviews

When I first picked the book up in Barnes & Nobles, I refused to purchase it if I didn't deem it good enough. I hadn't read the first book - Owning Violet - but Stealing Rose really captured my attention. Even though, no book is ever perfect, this book was close to it. Not a must read but a read if you are willing to follow the lives of Rose and Caden. It can be a bit overwhelming - in a good way. After I finished it, I went onto Amazon to purchase the other two novels on the Fowler Sister Series.

Sizzling, sexy, and such a good story! I loved this latest installment of the Fowler sisters. They definitely seem drawn to bad boys and Rose is no exception. Disenchanted with everything going on at Fleur (the family business) the youngest sister is reevaluating her life while visiting her sister in London. That is where she meets Caden Kingsley and her whole world changes. This is a fantastic book with a high heat level. I definitely recommend it.

Whew...fast-paced, steamy love story. I like the sister dynamic and cannot wait to read Lily's story. Monica Murphy is one of my favorite authors.
