We met Rose briefly in the previous books, although this book can be read as a stand alone. This is Rose and Owen's story. I had a rough time with this one honestly. I really liked Owen. He was a standout character in the book, as was his Dad. I loved watching him work on furniture and the work he puts into it. Rose was another story however. She was a little hard to like, she came off as weak and a little too flaky for me. Her inner dialogue didn't do a thing to help her character along. She meets Owen when she goes to the apartment she shared with her ex to retrieve her beloved bed that was her grandmothers and a few other belongings. Owen thinks he's hit the lottery when he answers an ad on Craig's list and bought the bed cheap from the ex. When Owen tests out the bed he falls asleep and is found by Rose when she shows up. Antics ensue and the bed breaks and Owen promises to fix it and return the bed to Rose. Owen is a little disheartened by losing the bed, he's trying really hard to keep his Dad's woodworking business afloat. Rose works for a company that makes out of the box furnishings. Her ex is the son of the owner. Despite the break up, Rose still works there in her little cube as a numbers cruncher, she dreams of doing more, but isn't sure. Rose lacks a backbone especially at work. She's a little better with her attraction to Owen and the feeling is mutual. Owen has put all this time and effort into the business and not in the dating world and Rose is the first woman to attract his attention. He certainly doesn't lack in the heat department. Those scenes are well described throughout the story. When he and Rose have a falling out, will anything save their relationship? Good question. Feel free to read and find out what happens with them. arc from NetGalley and Entangled for an honest review

Another winner! I loved Rose and Owen's story. It began with Owen sleeping in Rose's bed, then grew from there. I loved the way they interacted and how even with their flaws, that they found a way to be together. Also, I loved the nod to the past and quality hand made furniture. If you enjoy the genre, you will love this book. While this is part of a series, this is a stand alone book, however, it's so good that you really owe to yourself to read them all. The author is on my must read authors' list.
