I really enjoyed this novel in the series.. I didn't read them in order but still had no following the stories... I found Rose to be a very likable character and can understand her reluctance to trust given her upbringing. I also liked Michael and was very pleased that he came to terms with what he wanted in life and made peace with his family. There were a lot of avenues that the story could have followed so you were kept guessing just enough. I have read books 1 and 3 so am looking forward to reading the fourth one, assuming there is one.
