(ARC received from author in exchange for an honest review)Beautiful Rose is the follow up book to Seduce and in this book we follow Jack to the States where he has moved to be closer to his brother and try and get over the devastating loss of Belle.The book is told from 3 years after the ending of Seduce and Jack is still struggling to cope on a day by day basis. In Beautiful Rose we hear the story from both Jack & Rose's point of view.So we meet Rose who has suffered from mental health issues since she was a young child. Jack meetsRose in the health facility where his brother Alex works and there is an instant connection. I wouldn't say it's insta-love but it is an insta- attraction. The two characters mix really well as do the secondary characters.Beautiful Rose didn't grip me like Seduce did but it was still a book that had me turning the page. There are a few twists and turns which keep you attention firmly in the book.There's quite a bit of inner turmoil with both characters and it was boarding on if there was too much or not. I can't make my mind up on that one.
