Not her society Mama who tries to make her feel like rubbish and bully her into returning to the pretentious fold, not thugs who want to threaten her or mysterious, rich men who are used to getting what they want. I love Rose – she’s a lot of fun and she really doesn’t take any shit from anyone. It took me a ridiculously short amount of time to become obsessed with this series.
Rose has a feeling that if she gives back whatever Axton gave her, it isn’t going to just be that easy…and so she decides that the only way to get Axton back is to take him back….and win the battle. This means that she crosses path with a mysterious and sinister figure who demands Rose give up what Axton gave her if she ever wants to see him again. Rose knows that it’s up to her to find him. The cops don’t care, his brother doesn’t care. In the first novel, Axton entrusts something to Rose and then vanishes. She’s created her own sort of family: her boss Ma, the elderly owner of the cafe she works at, Roxy, another waitress at the cafe and Axton, who is also exiled from his wealthy family. Her life is far removed from what it was growing up but Rose has her freedom and her independence. They were unwilling to pay for another and cut her off so Rose got a job waiting tables in a breakfast cafe and takes a couple classes a semester, paying her own way through a local college. Five years ago Rose turned her back on all that wealth and privilege because she didn’t want to remain at the college her parents were paying for. Rose is in her mid-20s and the daughter of a very wealthy and influential family. This was probably the 2nd or 3rd series I tried and it is one of my faves. The first novel their series’ are often free or $1.99 and so I took a punt on a few. To be honest, I’m not sure how I found this series – I discovered Henery Press somewhere in my iBooks browsing. And it seems that my crack of choice has moved on from historical romance to cozy-type mysteries and I basically began buying anything I could find on iBooks or Goodreads lists that seemed like it might fit my needs.
I mentioned in my April Reading Wrap Up that in May, I’ve done a lot of reading. She’s gone from zero to sixty and learns when you’re speeding down the fast lane, it’s easy to crash and burn. With her anime-loving bestie, her septuagenarian boss, and pair of IT wise men along for the ride, Rose discovers political corruption, illegal gambling, and shady corporations. Now she’s hashing it out with sexy bad guys and scrambling to find clues in a race to save Axton before his time runs out. But when her close friend, Axton, disappears, Rose suddenly finds herself serving up more than hot coffee and flapjacks.
