Description

He’s trying to keep things professional—but will passion make it personal? Prepare for more Red Hot Love from New York Times bestseller Elle Casey.

Rose Lancaster has watched her two sisters find new lives and loves in the New York rock scene, but she’s too busy running her animal clinic in rural Maine to join them. If only she could get the town council off her back, things would be perfect. Unfortunately, the council has just served up papers for a lawsuit, and she’s at her wits’ end.

When straitlaced lawyer Greg Lister drops by on band business and gets wind of her predicament, he offers to help, and although Rose suspects it may come with complications she doesn’t need, she accepts. For a New York hotshot, he sure seems more than happy to spend time at Rose’s Maine retreat ensuring the service is completely personal.

Rose tries to resist the urge to connect but the attraction between them is undeniable…until Greg makes a shocking revelation that threatens Rose’s future in more ways than she could have imagined.

Wow!! Great book!! I've read every book in this series and I'm sad to see it go! Now I only have it four stars, in the beginning I was going to give it three!! The main reason, which I think I've stated after every single book, it's only the girls pov?!!! That stinks! A lot of people don't mind and it's not to bad in this series but I have some friends that won't even read it because it's one pov! So I loved it So much I only took off one star! This is the last sisters book, Rose and Greg book , it's been a great series i definitely enjoyed reading it! I would have loved it and been my top favorite if it was fuel pov! But I highly recommend this book and series! Thank you NetGalley and Montlake publishers for sharing this book with me! It's been a great ride!!!

I didn't finish Rose by Elle Casey. The writing was fine and the premise of the story was interesting, but there was doggie violence (not death) in the beginning of the book and I didn't read past it.

I have never read any books by Elle Casey, but I will read the rest of the books in this series. I loved Rose. She is sweet and kind. The sister dynamic was wonderful. Despite the first look, Greg was perfect for her. The ending of the book was absolutely perfect. Now I have to go buy the others. I received this book from Net Galley for an honest review with no other compensation.

Elle Casey’s Rose is a perfect addition to the Red Hot Love series and finally getting to see Rose’s story unfold was so sweet.

I knew that Greg was keeping a secret from Rose. I never thought it would be that though. I have to admit This is the first book that I've read in this series. Maybe I would have had a clue if I had read the first two. This is the only thing that I felt left out on, So I guess it is okay to say that, Rose, can be read as a stand alone.

I hadn't read any other books in this series, but I don't think it mattered.

This is the story of Rose, bought up by her hippy mothers, along with her 2 sisters, on a farm in Maine. Lawyer Greg keeps showing up, but is it just to see her?

Makes me want to go and read the rest of the series now!

Just a treat to read this story. I really liked all about. It gave me the feels and a must read for this author

Was this review helpful?

This is Rose and Greg’s story which is the finale of the three book series. I don’t feel like this book really stands alone, as there is too much back story from the previous two books that is needed for it to make sense. Rose and Greg seem like opposites, but they have their priorities in common. The three sisters finally come to accept the three fathers, even though they agree that they will never use DNA tests to see who is actually who’s father. The premise behind the series is definitely unusual, but this book brings the series to a satisfactory conclusion.

A good easy afternoon read overall. The author has a nice flowing writing style which ensures a easy read, whilst I didn't find myself entranced by the story or characters it was a good easy afternoon read.

I Don’t Want It To End

Rose is the final book about the three hippie sisters that live on a commune and get their lives flipped upside down. I’ve adored reading this series so much. Elle Casey has a tendency to keep me on pins and needles with a few of her series and I LOVE HER for it. Casey is by far one of my favorite authors and has been since the very first book of hers that I read, Rebel in 2013!

I’ve been quite invested in this series and absolutely applaud the author for her remarkable creativity in all three books - “Amber” was the beginning - “Emerald” gave us more story line, more answers - “Rose” concluded the family dynamic of this very riveting story. Rose is the most intelligent (IMO) of the three sisters and the most compassionate. I was so excited to read her book because I already knew some of her through her behavior in the last two novels.

“Oh. I get it.” “You know about the sister code?” “Is that the code that says you can’t date your sister’s ex-boyfriend?” “That’s exactly what it is.”

Rose runs a free animal clinic that sits right on their commune. She takes in sick animals and uses her big heart to heal them if possible which is most of the time. She is also the most dedicated out of the sisters. When I realized who she was to fall in love with, my eyes bulged out of my head and I knew this book was going to be choc full o’ awesome! My only regret was that in some way her love story was a bit rushed and I would’ve loved to have felt more of a connection between these two incredibly different people. What I did read though was absolutely compelling.

“The universe throws people into our paths that we never expected to meet, we’re given opportunities that we never thought would come our way.”

I would absolutely love to read more about this “unusual family” in the future. I am completely on board for ANY future novel, novella, you name it - I think this family could still tell so much, though if this is truly the end then I am very satisfied. I enjoyed each and every moment I spent reading these books. Thank You Again Elle Casey! You have such an amazing gift to write, I look forward to anything you might have up your sleeve in the future.

Book 3 in Elle Casey’s Red Hot Love series follows Rose, animal lover and wannabe veterinarian who runs a non profit shelter for sick, abandoned and wild animals. Rose is too stubborn to accept any money from her ‘fathers’ band, even though she desperately needs it and could put it to good use, and even though her sisters are contemplating accepting their share. Things in her life start getting even more complicated when the band’s sexy lawyer, Greg Lister starts spending more and more time with Rose. At the same time the clinic is targeted by vandals and Rose is struggling to prevent her mothers and sisters from finding out about everything that’s happening. Lots of drama in this final book that ends this series perfectly. I was provided with an advanced copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley. This is my honest review.

I enjoyed this book and sad to see this series end, this is the third book in this series and you really need or (highly recommend) should read the previous book. Rose is running an animal clinic on her farm and she needs money and help and does not want to take the money from her father's, yup you need to read previous to know what we are talking about, anyway back to this Greg the bands lawyer starts spending more and more time there and the sparks are flying. But along with those sparks we have drama and vandalism and etc etc..So while I can give you more info I wont so that you grab a copy and read..Enjoy!

Greg is just one of those overly polite people, "he reaches over and holds my fingers. “You’re going to think I’m rude if I say what’s in my head right now.” Greg sometimes has to put his responsibilities before his woman, "I slap him playfully on the butt. He leans down and kisses my neck. “I had some things I had to take care of, and I didn’t trust myself to get it all done in time. Talking to you would have tempted me to come sooner.” I liked this book, and I liked Greg once he got his head removed from his butt.

Was this review helpful?

This one might have been better to read after reading the first two in the series. It felt like the story was continuing from the previous. It didn't take long to figure out the base of the story but I think I would have known more where Rose's head was at if I had started with book one.

Overall, this is a cute story. It's a very slow burn. Very slow. Rose and Greg spent most of the story tiptoeing around their attraction to each other. We see more of Rose and the trouble she is dealing with from the town council who wants to put her rescue out of business as well as her bitterness towards her fathers sudden appearance in her life.

Rose grew up in a hippie family where she has two sisters and three mothers. These three mothers were groupies to a band that left thinking the band members didn't want them around anymore since all three women were pregnant. 25 years later and the band members reconnect with them. I'm not exactly sure how since I think that was described in book 1.

While I enjoyed the story, I did leave off feeling like I didn't know enough about the family and the town council harassment never really got resolved either. It was good but I do need a bit more from my books. I'll have to go back and read books 1 and 2 to see if this book makes more sense to me.

The third in a trilogy, you really cannot read this without reading her sisters' stories first... there is stacks of back story that you kind of need to know before you begin!

When we first met Greg he was pretty much a stuffed shirt and you had to wonder how he was going to end up with one of the girls raised on a hippie-ish commune... and you knew he would because why else would the band have a young hot attorney?

Rose is the quietest of the sisters, caring more for the animals at her clinic than, you know, people! Luckily Rose finds herself in a bit of a legal pickle (not her own fault of course) and who else can she turn to but Greg

This is a fitting end to a light entertaining tail of three sisters and the men in their lives

Was this review helpful?

Reading Rose, I remembered right away the rather peculiar background of these three young women. I mean, not everyone is raised by three mothers with a very liberal idea of relationships, fathers and love. Okay, and sex. Obviously. Sert against this really interesting background is the story of Rose, the third of the three sisters. Unlike her sisters, Rose spends all her time in her sanctuary, the animal clinic, caring for a couple (or more) stray animals and taking care of them when they are ill. She doesn't need the big city and, well, usually she doesn't mind being alone. When her fathers' lawyer Greg turns up and somehow never really leaves, things start to change. It's Greg who has her back when her clinic is in danger of being shut down and it is Greg who proves to her that no matter what it looks like now, he is also an animal lover and, well, he might not exactly be the city guy that he seems to be at first glance. When things fall apart and her clinic is in danger of being shut down, those two will have to decide whose side they are on and what they feel for each other.

I really enjoy the books by Elle Casey and Rose wasn't an exception of this rule. Rose is the third book in the Red Hot series about the three daughters of the band Red Hot and I loved every one of these books. Amber, Emerald and Rose are really amazing and I loved to read about them and the men they love.

Was this review helpful?

This is the third in Casey’s series about three young women brought up by three former groupies on their hippy-like farm in rural Maine. In earlier books, we learned that the three girls are the daughters of a classical rock group that their mothers were groupies following, but left when they all got pregnant. And no mother knows which group member is the father of her daughter. Ugh. The band has finally found out about their daughters and wanted to give each of them $10 million. In this story, Rose, has decided to refuse the money because she is angry that the members of the band never searched for the women who suddenly left them. She has a habitat for animals that she cares for. However, she’s facing threats to her shelter as members of the city council are trying to shut it down and someone is tormenting her by trashing her shelter.

The one consolation is the growing affection between Rose and the band’s lawyer Greg Lister. It is very sweet how they start to fall for each other through their conversations while cleaning out the kennels in her shelter.

I am not a big fan of the whole former groupies’ love affair with band members who never forgot them. And Rose’s attitude to all the stuff in her life is to play like an ostrich. She has a lawyer who keeps offering to help her with the city council’s lawsuit. But she’s such a stubborn ostrich that she keeps turning him down. When he eventually does convince her to let him help her, that whole plot basically disappears. Later on when there is a terrible complication thrown into the plot that would make a relationship between Greg and Rose, that is also brushed away and wrapped up in just a sentence or two.

If you enjoyed the first two books, you’ll like this one. There were parts I enjoyed and other parts that got on my nerves. I guess I just found it hard to relate to the women of this series.

I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book that I received from Netgalley; however, the opinions are my own and I did not receive any compensation for my review.

I was lucky enough to get an ARC for this book and to be able to read it back to back with Emerald, book 2 in the series. I really love Elle's books they are so beautifully written. Rose is the third sister who has to deal with the sudden appearance in their lives of the wealthy rockstars who are their fathers.

Like second sister Emerald she has no desire to collect her inheritance nor have a relationship with the band, she just wants to run her animal clinic and live a quiet life.

Unfortunately fate has other ideas when she meets Greg Lister the band's lawyer. Greg is a hotshot who lives and works in Manhattan and seems so far out of Rose's league, so why does he keep coming around to see her?

The local council is trying to close down her clinic, and to make matters worse someone breaks in and finally burns it down. Greg and Rose get closer as he tries to help her, but he is keeping a big secret that could affect her future. Rose is unable to see a possible life together with him, but fate has other ideas!

This book was a fitting conclusion to the series as the three sisters deal with their new lives and loves while still remaining true to their roots. A great read as always from Elle.

This was my favorite in this trilogy so far! And Rose is by far my favorite of the 3 “sisters”....definitely worth the read!

Was this review helpful?

This is the last book from the series and the story finishes with HEA for all the sisters. I got the feeling that from all the sisters it seems that Rose is the one that sufferers the most at least in silence. She has dedicated her whole life, time for the wounded animals and she cannot ever take a break from them. So it is really sweet that we see how she falls in love and at the same time I fell really sorry for her when it all falls apart. In the book, there is just POV from Rose so for me most of the time Greg remains a mystery although when they are together they decided to always tell the truth. It was like Rose had described that he was with her different than when they were with the others. The story from the start is really unique we see the characters from previous books and how are they doing. I loved the dogs in the book. Rose was a good person, likable the end version of Greg when we figure out why had he acted the way he did. The story has also a mystery, suspense element and it is great that is not predictable.
I volunteered to review an ARC of this book for Netgelly.

I didn't read the first two books in the series and felt a little like I missed something reading this one. The tie between these books is that they are the kids of famous rockers from a band called Red Hot. I feel like there was a lot of backstory that I missed.

Rose has retreated to Maine to run an animal sanctuary and, for reasons I didn't quite follow, Greg, a Manhattan attorney, shows up to help her with her legal issues.

Elle Casey is a competent writer and I enjoyed the banter between Rose and Greg as their relationship develop. I think I would have liked it more if I'd red Rose in order.

I found it a bit hard to get into to begin with, maybe as I hadnt read the previous Books, but once I got into it I couldn't put it down. Off to read the previous ones now! I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Sweet Rose with her kind heart and love of animals finds love of her own. Greg Lister, the band's lawyer and resident stick in the mud, has a soft spot for Rose. The two find companionship and get Rose through a rough patch. There's a bit of mischievous behavior at the farm and Greg tries to help. I loved the scenes with animals, especially Banana. A heartwarming story of three sisters comes to a close. I read the entire series and wrote each review voluntarily, copy given through Netgalley.

Elle Casey put all of her quirky thoughts down and made a series which covered 3 sisters born from their mothers loving a rock band. Each sister was unique and as we read the series, we grew to love them all. Rose is the last in the series and she finally found a man worthy of her.

Was this review helpful?

This is the 3rd book in the series and is about the last sister ... Rose. Rose has always wanted to be a vet, but when hurt or abandoned animals kept showing up to her house, she opened their barn to them and became a rescue instead. The sisters find out about their fathers when a lawyer (Greg) comes to tell them they will each receive a bundle of cash and all they have to do is acknowledge their fathers ... who are legendary rock stars. Greg's only client is the Red Hot rock group and when he goes to rural Maine to tell the sisters of their fortune, he can't help but notice the beautiful Rose. When Rose's shelter gets broken into and she starts getting prank phone calls, she doesn't know what she did wrong and can't believe that anyone would target a dog rescue and shelter. Greg helps Rose with a legal matter and when he becomes aware of Rose's problems, he can't help but get involved.

I know that Rose and Greg are into each other and I just wanted to tell them to get on with it already, but I guess that's what happens when 2 sky people like each other ... they do a lot of tip toeing around each other. This is a cute romantic comedy with a little bit of steam. I would advise to read the first two book before this so you get a better sense of what's going on. This last book ties everything up, nice and neat.

Rose, Red Hot Love series by Elle Casey

This was my first venture into the Red Hot Love trilogy, so I can accurately state that the books can be read out of order without losing anything from the storyline. The book’s description is accurate in outlining the content, but leaves out how realistically written the characters are. The peeks you get into the lead’s lives, along with the background band practices, is wonderfully addictive. This book has an intriguing story, with danger and suspense throughout – A romance novel with more going on than a few kisses.

Was this review helpful?

Rose by Elle CaseyRose Lancaster is running her animal clinic in Maine on a wing and a prayer. She doesn't have a lot (or any) funding and the only veterinarian who was willing to help her has just bowed out. Now her clinic has been robbed. It is NOT the time for a new romance. Too bad her fathers' lawyer, Greg Lister, is so dang cute.

Greg doesn't plan on falling in love with Rose, especially since he can't give her anything but bad news (at least he feels like it.) But their chemistry is just too strong (and her sisters are just too eager to put them together.

This book was not as disjointed as the previous book but still didn't flow smoothly. It felt like the ending didn't wrap up the loose ends (maybe there'll be a book for Smitty? But he wasn't portrayed well in this book).

This is the final story in this Red Hot Love series and true to her name, Rose blossoms when she falls for Greg.

Rose has watched both of her sisters fall in love over a short space of time but didn’t think it would happen to her. She gave up her dreams of being a vet and runs an animal shelter on the family farm. She dedicates her life to helping injured animals and often spends the night at the clinic where she can monitor them 24/7 if needed.

She is surprised to know that Greg Lister, lawyer for Red Hot, also shares a love of animals. He has a dog that he dotes on and he also grew up on a rural property, like Rose. She just assumed that the Manhattan man was a city guy born and bred. His visits from the city to Rose’s farm seem to be more frequent these days and Rose begins to look forward to him visiting.

There is definitely a simmering attraction building between them and her sisters have noticed it too. Running a clinic comes with it’s own set of issues though, the local town council seem hell bent on finding reasons to shut her down and some other enemies are making their intentions known in some pretty nasty ways.

Rose would love to realise her dream of being a vet, expanding the shelter and being able to gainfully employ people to help but Greg delivers news that could change everything. It may also mean saying goodbye to a possible future with him. Everything seems to be falling apart and when tragedy strikes one night it feels like nothing will ever be right again.

I really enjoyed this final instalment in the Red Hot series. There is an epilogue that gives an insight into each of the sisters a wee bit into the future but that big gaping question from the very beginning is never really answered. I think that’s a good thing though because their definition of family is really what matters most in the end.

Thanks to the publisher for an ARC to read and give my honest opinion.


This book is the last book in a trilogy, and I strongly suggest reading them in order as they don't quite fit as a stand alone. Loved the cover...but the blurb is what caught my eye.
Rose is the last of the three sisters to find a guy. Of course she doesn't seem like she's trying since she lives in the middle of no where and keeps a non profit animal shelter going. Greg comes to town with some legal stuff for the band and suddenly Rose could use his services since the town is trying to get rid of her shelter.
This is a fence book for me...took awhile to get into since I hadn't read the first two but a few things kept me from enjoying this novel. One... the use of our mothers.... I guess I'm not up on my hippy commune wording but only one mother per child...right? I started off thinking this was a homosexual mothers relationship. Just because they don't know who the dad is doesn't mean the mother isn't known....right? Second..when Rose goes on a tangent about all the things she could have..... didn't the lawyer just say she had ten million dollars? Then the relationship with Greg started out tepid...I like to see a real good attraction. So fence booking it. Three stars.

DNF at 30 percent.

This is a classic case of, "it's not you; it's me." Premise has a lot of potential. I love Banana, the three-legged dog. Diction, construction, and punctuation are excellent. I even like the characters. Unfortunately, I did not enjoy reading about them.

In some books, the main characters' awkwardness is endearing, and it helps build the sexual tension between them. In this book, Greg and Rose's awkward encounters just made me cringe. I felt embarrassed on their behalf. The hardest thing was that I sensed zero chemistry between the leads. Having forced my way through the first third and finding no connection to the characters or their story, I have put it aside in favor of other things.

Rose’s dog’s name was Banana as he was always crazy, excited, and going,,,, bananas. Bana’s communicative skills are the stuff of legend. Rose runs a non-profit animal shelter. She used the family’s former barn as a clinic. Betty Beland was on the town council and often called to complain but Rose had the law on her side. Rose cures their sick pets at discount prices and local wildlife for free. After leaving Betty her ex husband asked Rose out even though Rose said no Betty hated Rose and caused her as many problems as she could. All Rose cares about are the animals that need her and her family that loves her. Rose lives in a hippie community and has three mothers who loved the members of the band Red Hot and when they got pregnant they left the band and moved to the farm and had their three daughters but each mom claimed the other two girls as her own also. Red Hot was currently living with them working on a new music. There had been a break in worse than that Banana had been hurt and had a broken leg and he only had three legs as it was and he needed surgery. Rose called John who she had on contract to do any procedure or surgery on the animals in her care and aso gave her a plan of care for her parents if she needed it. After the surgery John told Rose he couldn’t work with her anymore obviously the council got to him. Then Rose found out she was being sued once again and her lawyer tha handed her legal problems had passed away and she didn’t have the money for someone else. Greg Lister stopped at the clinic and asked if she needed help . Rose os attracted to Greg. Greg is the lawyer for the band and they are his only clients. Rose always seems to end up embarrassing situations with Greg. Greg Asked if she needed help with her legal problems. Greh kissed Rose and she wanted to see where that would go to. Smitty was someone Rose and her family had known a long time and he helped out at the farm for a long time. He had even dated Rose’s sister for a little while then all of a sudden Smitty asks Rose out but they have a sister agreement never to date a sister’s ex. tHen one day Smitty shows up with a new computer for Rose.
I truly loved this book. I loved the pace and plot. I loved Rose and Greg together. I also loved how close Rose and her family were especially her sisters and Rose. This was a sweet, easy emotional, and romantic read. I truly loved how Rose loved animals so much especially Bannan. I felt Banana added a lot to this book and I loved him. I happily couldn’t find anything to criticize in this book. I didn't want to put this book down. I loved the characters and the ins and outs of this book and I highly recommend.

This is the third book in a series. It is about Rose. She lives on a hippie commune with her mothers and her two sisters. I read book one and loved it. I also love this one! It makes me want to go back and read book two. Rose falls in love with lawyer Greg. They must work through a lot of issues to see if they are able to make a life together. The problem is that Greg lives in Manhattan and Rose lives in Maine. Long distance will not work, but will these two make the decision that need to be made to be together? I definitely recommend this book.

Okay, so first I will admit, I didn't read the other two books in this series. Dumb, I know.
BUT, that didn't stop me from understanding or enjoying Rose and Greg's story. Some who have read Amber and Emerald's stories might think this book is a bit long due to the amount of backstory subtly explained throughout this book, but for those like me who decided to read the last story first (there have to be others, right?), the author does a good recap job to make it so we are not totally lost.

All that out of the way, this book is a slow-burn kind of romance with the angst of does he or doesn't he like me, how do I feel about him? It's told completely from Rose's perspective. While I admit, first person stories usually aren't my favorite, I connected with Rose's character enough that I truly enjoyed it.
There is a good bit of drama which keeps the reader involved and eager to get to the end, which, of course is a HEA.
I love how the epilogue wraps all the girls stories up in a pretty little bow.

And, now I just have to go back and buy the first two books to see what I missed!!

Greg has been in the background for the last 2 books and I was little surprised that he was the main character in this one. He almost feels like a different character entirely in this book? Nevertheless, I do like both main characters in this story, the plot is a little weak, but still ended up being a decent read. The series in general has not been my favourite, but I don't feel that I wasted my time reading it.
Thank you.

I received this book from Net Galley in exchange for an honest review.

This is the first book I read from this author and I'm not sure of my opinion of her writing just yet. Bare with me cause I might rant.
This is the last book of a 3 book series called Red Hot Love but it's the only one I have read.
I always liked love stories and this one seem right out of my alley yet I couldn't seem to like it and struggle to finish it.
The main character is completely unlikable, she is supposed to be these nice and sweet girl because she cares for animals and her family but I couldn't seem to like her because her internal monologues sounded stupid imo, which in the end caused me not to root for her happy ending and I just kept thinking why does this guy like her. I spend 70% of the book thinking maybe her sisters had better personalities maybe I should read their books.
So I guess If you read the previous books maybe you will like this one, but it just wasn't for me.

This is the third (final) book of the series. I have read all of them, which is best to get the full background, but it is not necessary as the story stands on its own and any past details the reader needs are provided. Though I enjoyed all of the stories in the series, Rose was my favorite.

Greg and Rose are two independent people who don't seem to have much in common. As things develop, they become a good match. Their affection for each other is sweet and the sexual tension strong, but at times the hot & cold nature of their relationship becomes a bit frustrating.

The epilogue does a great job of wrapping up not only the story, but the series.

Overall, this book is a good read that involves romance, family dynamics, and a bit of mystery..It is well-paced to make the reader not want to put it down. I would recommend this book, and the entire series.

This is the third book in this series by this author. You must read the other books in the series before reading this one. This is an amazing story with the perfect ending to the series. Amazing characters, you will fall in love with as you read. This is one of those books you just can't put down till you get to the end. I can't wait to read more from this author in the future.



Highly recommended series

This book tells the story of Greg and Rose. The two originally met when Greg, a lawyer, seeks out the three sisters in hope of them accepting an inheritance from their long lost fathers. Now in the third and final installment of this Elle Casey series some truths are uncovered. This book had a lot of drama and mystery in it. I definitely recommend reading the entire series, but this could be read as a standalone.

This was a great conclusion to the series I have enjoyed all three of these books and would recommend them to all. They were really well written and a good plot that has you hooked and reading late into the night. This last book is Rose and Greg's story this two fall in love over their love for animals and it was great watching Rose grow and blossom I also loved catching up with her sisters.

Disclaimer... I did not read the first two books. This one was given to me as a free review copy. I have read several other books by the author and loved them so I was excited to try this one. I think if I would have read the first two I would have had more of a connection to the main characters. Having said that... I liked the book and will go back and read the first two.
Rose is a sweet and strong character. She is really finding her way in this book with her family dynamic changing and coming to terms with wanting more than just her work to fulfill her. This book is not heavy on the sex but more about the romance and discovering each other which endures the love story to you. There is a little mystery/drama when someone tries threatening Rose’s livelihood. She is facing the city council who want her animal shelter gone and a lone bad guy who just seems to have a personal vendetta against Rose. In this book you have family, drama, love and we can’t forget the sisters! Rose’s sisters are awesome and even their little bits here and there in this book sold me on going back and reading their stories. All in all a solid book.

wooow this was something. I finished this book in just one day. This series is truly something alright.
This is the final story in this Red Hot Love series and true to her name, Rose blossoms when she falls for Greg.
Rose was my favorite book in the Red Hot Love series. It still had an insta-love feel to it like the previous books, but it was less of one because of Rose’s beau. Greg Lister, Red Hot’s lawyer, has been around since the first book and his relationship with Rose felt like a natural progression. The timeline in the book did make the blossoming of their relationship feel fast, but that was okay for me. I really liked Rose and Lister together.

i never read the previous books in this series. However that didn't stop me from understanding and enjoying the story of Rose and Greg. this book is a slow romance and I love my slow romances with the angst of does he like me or doesn't he or do I like him or not. I love that it is told completely from Rose's prespective and I loved tthat they were drama in here as well to keep the reader hooked and eager to carry on.

Rose was someone who worked extremely hard for everything she had and her reliability came at a price. Becoming a target of the town council has left her dealing with lawsuits as she tries to help the wounded animals that need a protector. Greg volunteers to help her but it appears he maybe guarding a secret that could change everything she believes in. Will she finally get her dream of caring for animals or be forced to set everything aside? Great story that reminds you that you can achieve your dreams with determination.

Rose and Greg's story was good reading. Enjoyed this author. Last book in the Red Hot Love series.

Ebook from netgalley and publishers with thanks. Opinions are entirely my own.

It certainly has been an enticing and crazy ride withe the Lancaster sisters. Wooziers!! These three ladies and their men have put my heart through the ringer!! It has been an emotional and red hot journey.

The final book, Rose, is all about Rose's romance with Greg but it's also a story about her finding herself and dealing with her own life's quandaries. (She's dedicated her life to taking care of the animal in her area but isn't actually a veterinarian.)

Anyway, this romance is a slow burn read. The tension and chemistry builds between the two main characters. The storyline moves at a solid pace and I was drawn into the plot's drama. I thought it was an excellent read.

I highly recommend the books in the Red Hot Love series by Elle Casey. They're entertaining and engaging!!

The reading of the book held me so that I did not drop the book until I had finished reading, with incredible characters, Elle Casey created a passionate book that will leave the readers impressed with the immensity of feelings that it creates.

I really enjoyed this final installment in the Red Hot series. There is an epilogue that gives an insight into each of the sisters a wee bit into the future. A light, upbeat read that I couldn't put down once I started.

I love the Red Hot series and have enjoyed reading about the sisters falling in love. This one was enjoyable but not as enjoable as the first two. I just found the love story a bit off and with the location different it had a different essence about it but I would still recommend this whole series and I love how Rose was a devout animal lover! There were many parts with how she worked with the animals that touched my heart.💝

This is Rose, book 3 of the Red Hot Love Series, written by Elle Casey. What a great book to end the awesome series! Each book is about a different sister and they are all tied together in this one. Rose has been working in the animal clinic for a long time and she is extremely comfortable in that role. When Greg Lister, the lawyer for the band Red Hot, comes to town to discuss the settlements for her and her sisters a little bit more than meets the eye is going on. With a great backstory running that has a touch of mystery involved, I think this one is the best of the series. Rose is only trying to take care of the animals, while outside forces are fighting against her. Don’t miss this series by Elle Casey!!

This book was so entertaining. I was drawn into the story from the beginning and was involved until the end. The characters were complex and interesting. I found the story to be well paced and engrossing throughout the whole book. I was invested in the couple throughout the book and felt all the emotions through both the highs and lows of the story.The side characters were such an integral part of this story as well. This is the love story i needed to read at this time. If you want an entertaining and well written book this is it for you
