This is the third book in this series, Rose, and yes you kind of do have to read previous books to know who is who because even though they have a small part in this book they all connect and you will get the dynamics..I liked all the previous couples in this series, Rose not so much, Owen yep I liked him, again Rose not so much..She wined too much for me, she should have been glad to get rid of her scum bag fiance and his cheating self. She did way better with Owen, and yes Owen got a little to alpha at that party and should not spread her business to everyone yet, Jason did push him and Owen was defending herself and yet Rose, withered..get some spine, finally she did at the end..Amanda lets go!
