Rating: 5 out of 5

Oh...my Jack.Before I had even read a page of this book, I hated it. I wanted to hate it. I wasn't ready for my Jack to fall in love again - the scars from Seduce were still too fresh and I winced at the thought of him moving on.So with that said, if you haven't read Seduce (Beautiful Rose 0.5) - don't read any further.Seduce crushed me, and I fell in love with Jack - I love my men cocky and disturbing. But he shifted with Belle and I ended up adoring him by the end of the prequel.Then in Beautiful Rose, I realized that something in him had faded. A huge part of who I fell in love with in Seduce was ripped from him, leaving his a shell of a man he once was. And I spent the first half of Beautiful Rose grieving along side him and denying that I wanted him to find love ever again and trying to find ways to destroy Rose.As much as I pushed the thought of Rose away and NEEDED to hate her, I just couldn't.So now, not only am I in love with Rose, Alex and Jack...but I also have a wicked girl crush on Darcy. Gah!It's rare when a sequel is written that is just as enjoyable as the first, especially when the first stirs the emotion that Seduce did for me. But as I read and learned more about Rose, I was able to move on, now that I knew she could be the person I needed her to be for Jack.Missy Johnson paced it, and didn't rush it for me - which I appreciated. I was anticipating insta-love, but that's not what this story is. Instant attraction? Oh yeah, but then, that's nothing knew with our Jacky boy.Overall, I found this book to be just as enjoyable as the first in this series. And I'm looking forward to reading the next!I'm so happy I got to see Jack fall in love twice.4.5 Stars
