Ratings and reviews

We meet the lost baby sister in the 3rd book of the Rosewood Bay Series. Reading about Juliette's life, and how she discovers her lost sister and then meeting them is a great read. There is romance, a bit of suspense, and of course a love interest that will keep you enthralled. I recommend reading Fearless and Breathe, the first two books, prior to Freed. These books bring a whole new dimension and understanding of Freed. I volunteered to review an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

4.5 Stars I really enjoyed this one and I thought it was a great installment in the series. If you haven't read this series yet you're missing out! I was looking forward to this book because I've been waiting for Juliette to meet her sisters. It lived up to my expectations. I loved Juliette. She has guts and resilience. All of Braden's stereotypical thoughts of who she is are blown to smithereens. I just loved Braden and Juliette together. Such great chemistry between the two. The set up for the next book has me very intrigued.

Freed is another irresistible story in the Rosewood Bay series. This is about Juliette, the long lost Ward sister. Juliette has discovered that she has sisters she never knew about. She feels betrayed by her father and leaves home to make a new life for herself with her sisters, Halley, and Phoebe. But her father isn't so willing to let her go and hires PI, Braden Clark, to keep watch over her. Braden didn't think that his new beautiful client would be so independent, loving, and kind. The more he gets to know her, the deeper he falls for her. They have so much in common, that draws them together besides their fiery attraction. But Braden's secrets threaten to ruin the love they share. Braden and Juliette were so great together, they understood each other's loyalty to family, and their chemistry was explosive. It was so much fun catching up with Halley and Phoebe and watching their bond grow with Juliette. There are some suspenseful moments making this heartwarming, sweet and sexy story totally engaging from start to finish. I also loved the setup for the next book in this series and can't wait to read Andrea's story in Dream.
