Stealing Rose

January 12, 2015
Entertaining characters ignite the pages of the predictable second Fowler Sisters romantic thriller (after Owning Violet). Cosmetics heiress Rose Fowler is at the Cannes Film Festival for the opening of a documentary film about the family business. She’s wearing an indescribably sexy white dress and a priceless diamond necklace. Caden Kingsley is there to steal said necklace. An easy job—if it weren’t for the potent electricity between him and Rose. So he swipes a few other bobbles and hightails it to London to regroup, only to encounter Rose an improbable second time. And a third, and a fourth, and so on, in every position, in every location around town, for several days and nights. The sex is good, and these two might have a future together, but the plot goes exactly where the reader expects, and the thesaurus-reliant prose is recrementitious.

Cannes, London, diamonds, glitz, glamour, a jewel thief, and steamy sexMurphy delivers it all! Rose, the youngest of the three Fowler sisters, gets everyone's attention when she wears a revealing white dress and her grandmother's flawless pink-diamond necklace to a film premiere in Cannes. At the after party, she meets a sexy and mysterious stranger, and they share a brief moment in the moonlight. They meet again in London and begin a reckless and intense sexual relationship, while Rose tries to decide what to do with her life. On the surface, it doesn't seem like she has much in common with jewel thief Caden Kingsley besides sexual attraction, but Rose and Caden are each at a crossroads in their lives, and their meeting might be the moment that changes everything for both of them. Readers who can't resist a bad boy and hot, hot sex will find much to enjoy.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2015, American Library Association.)
