I really like this series and I'm looking forward to the third book.  Rose is a different kind of character and I enjoy seeing how her mind works and how she handles new situations.Unlike some of the reviewers in the reviews of the second book as sold individually, I actually liked the second in this series better than the first.  I had a rough start with the first book because of the horrible way Rose's mother treated her and the way she just took it.  Fortunately that only lasted briefly and then I slowly really got into it.  I'm glad I kept going.**Spoilers**Although I like Joe and Rose together, I was really happy to see some legitimate potential competition arive for Rose's affection with Mason.  Joe seems to be moving into controlling boyfriend territory and after all she's been through, Rose needs to be free to do her own thing without having to report to someone or worry about pleasing someone else for a little while.  Mason is definitely able to get to her, although she's too inexperienced to realize exactly what her annoyance with him means.  I'm hoping that relationship is explored in greater depth in future installments.
