Look, I know that there are much better novels in the world right now. I have A Starless Sea on the shelf waiting to be read. I have Crescent City on the shelf waiting to be read. But you know what it is? I'm not in the mood for them. I want short and quick and happy stories. I wanna smile by the end of the book. I wanna shut off my brain for a few seconds. Luckily, thanks to all those amazing authors, I have an iPad filled with them.

This book was on my wishlist for quite some time already and I was so happy when it was offered for free! And the book was exactly what I had hoped it would be. The first half of the book was quite exciting, especially with the attraction between Rose and the guys and the rules preventing them from acting on it combined with the Jason guy. And the second half was this sweet relief, that soft caress after a long day at work.

I was smiling when I finished the book and mostly because Rose is an amazing character. A lot of characters in books act so unlike me in certain situations, but Rose did what I would have done, the smart thing. (Annette, arrogance isn't pretty!) It was such a nice thing to read and to see done. And although Rose and I don't share our posture, I know her doubts all too well. It was therefore easy to connect with her and to feel for her.

And her three guys were quite awesome too. I loved how they were different enough to tell them apart by actions and I loved how they were constantly having Rose's wellbeing as their priority. Especially because her being well, was not always in their best interest. It's the kinda guy(s) I want to meet and have my happily ever after with.

Super cute

Oh how I've enjoyed my time in Silver Springs! I'm honestly sad that this is the last of the books. However, Rose is just as good, cute & sexy as the rest of the books set in this world. I already read Jewels Arthur so I knew I love her writing and I was not disappointed. Rose is sassy, smart and just adorable. Her guys are sexy and ridiculously in love with their bartender. If you love sweet reads and love vampires then this book is definitely for you!

This was a cute read! I love that Rose is a plus sized girl, and that she seems to find her confidence. She was unapologetic with her sexy bosses, and I'm glad she was. And the spice was just right.

A town filled with supes- sounds promising. I went into this book with huge hopes for as fast burn with a plus size heroine. The story was good and the characters were okay as well, but it was mostly pretty average. It wasn’t anything special and I don’t know if I will continue with this series. The spice was okay, but the lack of a connection to the characters the less the spice really makes any impact for me. Overall it was an okay read. Fast, light with a bit of spice.

Rose is a bartender in Vee, a club owned by three sexy guys, Finn, Dean and Sebastian. She has a crush on them... she had it for two years, but she never acted on it. Finn, Dean and Sebastian aren't your typical club owners; they are vampires and they made a rule to steer clear from Rose to not involve her in their supernatural lives. But when a vampire abducts her, all the rules go down the drain and Rose is fair game.

I loved how Rose wasn't your typical skinny FMC. She is on the chubby side and she has worries, making her more of a realistic character. But the three guys love her anyway ad accept her and conform her that her worries don't have any basis. It's a fun and light story, without too much drama in it.

I kindly received an ARC from the author, but I'm leaving a voluntary and honest review.

Whoops! Lol I did not mean to read this entire book tonight after finishing Wynter … but it was too good to put down and I had been wanting to read Rose’s story for a while now!

I love the way Jewels Arthur writes her characters, Rose is definitely an instant favorite. I am always (semi-desperately) looking for relatable plus-sized babes, and as much as I love Calluna I just don’t have her give-no-fucks attitude; Rose and I have similar hang ups, body type, and self-consciousness without being too self-deprecating. I love that she gets her guys and they do everything they can to make her believe how much they want and love her, worshipping her the way we all wish to be worshipped.

As always with the silver springs books I really enjoyed this installment. They bring me so much joy and this one in particular hit home in a good way. ☺️
