Falling for a Rose #2
Enough
At the celebration of her best friend's wedding, Claudia Steven's is trying to sort out her tumultuous emotions, regarding the groom's best man and brother, Jaden Alexander Rose. What started as a platonic relationship, has turned into a battle of wills whenever they find themselves together. Their heated exchanges have risen to the surface, and desire spills over on contact. However, Claudia fears she is not enough to be on the arm of a prestigious benefactor like Jaden. And Claudia is sure that's why he's friend-zoned her. Multimillionaire investment banker, Jaden Alexander Rose is here today and gone tomorrow. Business is his priority, which is why he has kept the passion that grows for Claudia at arm's length. But the bachelor cannot seem to fight off the dynamic hold Claudia has on him, ever since meeting her six months ago at a charity event. Now at his brother's wedding, Jaden crosses that platonic line, and he has every intention of showing Claudia she's all he needs and more. The Falling for a Rose series follows each member of the Rose family as they explore this thing called love. However, each book is just as enjoyable if read as a standalone as it is if read in the series order.

Update 2023: Still the same thoughts!
Another one down in the Rose brother series. Don’t get me wrong, I’m enjoying these books as I make my way through, but sometimes it can be quite difficult to not notice that they are written in a formulaic manner. This specific installment follows Claudia and Jaden who we meet in the previous book. The two definitely have great chemistry and banter that made my audio listen quite steamy. Nevertheless, I think that part of me struggled with Claudia as a character. She struggles a lot with how she views herself and whether she does or does not deserve a healthy relationship. While I completely understand that feeling, it causes a lot of what I perceived to be as back and forth on whether she really wanted to be with Jaden. I don’t typically mind this but I struggled with it in the context of this story. Overall, it was still a solid read and I’ll be confusing to work my way through the series.

Jaden!!!! What happens in Vegas….. 🥵🥵 Jaden was a real one because the way Claudia put him through the ringer was getting on my nerves. My anxiety was high for him. Daddy Rose is the real MVP because he raised some amazing men! And Wesleigh and Jakobi just don’t miss with the narration!

4.5✨This was cute. I liked Jaden for Claudia. The storyline was good and I think the flow was pretty good. Claudia deserved more than she gave herself credit to receive.

I just keep falling more and more in love with these Rose brothers! Black love was on full display in Enough. I loved me some Jaden but, man did he have to go several extra miles to prove his love to Claudia. She did not make it easy for this man at all. At times I kept asking myself why is he even putting up with her?!!! Claudia was Allison from the Valentine Brothers 2.0. What the hell happened to the confident Claudia from book one?!!! She was a bundle of insecurities and it was a total turn off. Her lack of self esteem was really irritating and it made her very dislikable. It's frustrating when these characters are portrayed as strong and independent in one book but, when it's time to read their story, their personality does a complete 180. It's frustrating because, this was not the Claudia from Safe With Me. Aside from that, Enough was really good. Stephanie Nicole Norris never disappoints when it comes to writing about black romance and black love. I can't wait for the next book in this series to be released on Audible.

Jaden, Jaden, Jaden...HOT DAMNNNNNNNN!!!! He is my kind of Man!!!!!
Claudia met Jaden in book 1 of her best friend's story "Safe With Me" which is about Samiyah and Jonas. Claudia sees Jaden during a charity auction and once their eyes collide it's an inferno. We pick up Claudia and Jaden at the wedding reception of his brother and her best friend in Puerto Rico. The back and forth slight banter, subtle glances come to a head after the reception with Jaden and Claudia sharing a passion filled night, once she wakes up to find him gone, Claudia chalks it up to a night she will never forget.
Jaden is back in the states running his businesses and Claudia is burning within in, he can't get enough of her, in fact he wants her and only her. Jaden can't figure out the how and the why, he just knows and his big brother Jonas confirms it for him. Claudia can't get Jaden off of her brain, or still feeling his hands on her body even though it was just that one time but with all of her emotional baggage she tries to convince herself to not go there with him, in her mind Jaden need to be with a woman who is without all of brokenness which she has.
Jaden and Claudia will soon discover that they will never have enough of wanting and needing each other, no matter how one tries to fight it, the other is determined to make it a reality.
First of all the chemistry between these two characters is straight up fire, Jaden, in my Florida Evans voice (Damn, Damn, Damnnnnn!!!) is not to be played with, SH*TTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!! He is the man and Claudia finds that out very quickly.
This was another great read into the Rose Family Series and I look forward to reading more about the siblings finding love.
Well Until My Next Review...Ciao!

"Enough" by Stephanie Nicole Norris
My Thoughts....
I loved this second romance story of 'The Falling For a Rose Book 2' that featured Claudia and Jaden who was another Rose brother. The story is well presented and will keep you turning the pages to see what's coming next. We find Claudia is trying to get ahead after having made some bad decisions in her past, taking care of her mother and being a co-owner of a financial advising firm. Now that she has met Jaden will there be a chemistry between these two? Why was it for some reason Claudia felt that she was not worthy of having a relationship with Jaden? Well, to see how this all turns out you will just have to pick up this well written story to see how well this author brings it all out to the reader. I will say I liked Claudia's character but sometime she did get on my nerves with all of her self doubting [lack of self esteem] she had about herself. However, as I continued to read on I could see some of the reasons she may have felt the way she did [especially with that sister and mom]. In the end will Claudia be able to overcome all that is holding her back finally have her HEA with the man of her dreams? The only thing that is left is be waiting for the next Book 3 in 'Only If You Dare' that features Claudia's sister....Desiree Stevens and another Rose brother...Julian Alexander Rose.

I enjoyed Enough by Stephanie Nicole Norris. I listened to it on my library app called Hoopla (borrowed the book for free).
I want Jaden to be my dance teacher and give me some lessons like he gave Claudine on and off the dance floor.
Ladies just because you came from the other side of the track doesn’t mean your not worthy of being loved by someone who seems to have it all.
Now on to see if a Sista can get some love in Book 3 of Falling for a Rose series. Only if You Dare.

2.5 stars I wanted to like this book, which is why I pushed through rather than DNF. To me the writing was very cliche and cheesy, and it’s one of those books where there’s nothing really keeping the couple apart so that made it a bit frustrating and boring. But I *think* I could have tolerated all that if it weren’t for the third person pov that constantly switched between multiple people in the scene (not just the two MCs). Even the great audiobook narrators couldn’t make it work for me.

Good
I liked how the third act breakup barely lasted a couple pages. I liked the connection between Jaden and Claudia even if she did annoy me a little with the "I'm not good enough" bit.

I love his the female characters are so relatable. The fact that trio pothole from two different walks of life can be drawn together.

Issues of abandonment causes many relationship problems!
Having grown up with both my mom and dad I never experienced what Claudia and probably many more women and men feel of the havoc it apparently poses when entering into relationships. Claudia was so invested in the differences of their upbringing that she almost missed a love that was eager to be hers. Jaden seemingly was smitten with Claudia from the start but had to reconcile if he was ready to give up his carefree bachelor ways for ever after with Claudia. Thankfully the two finally got on the same page so their forever love relationship could truly begin. I enjoyed enough and most assuredly Jaden and Claudia are definitely enough for each other! An excellent read Stephanie an excellent read indeed. Now I can listen to the audio!!!!!

What can I say?
This is the first book that I can honestly say has brought me to tears of anger and revelation. I saw so much of myself in Claudia and I don't know if that's a good or bad thing yet. One thing I can say is never sell yourself short or think you're less than. Jaden loved Claudia in a way that she had never experienced before and she did not know how to accept it. But once she was able to confront her own internal dialogue was able to open up for everything she wanted and she truly learned that she was ENOUGH!

I really enjoyed this one! Claudia and Jaden are super adorable and hot lol I like her story so much more than Samiyah’s in the first book because we get to learn about so many aspects of Claudia’s life outside of dating Jaden. She’s a caregiver, a daughter, a sister, a business owner now starting a non-profit for caregiver support. And my girl is struggling with insecurities and feeling shame about her past, truly going through it. Really loved the journey for her!

Predictable
This story wasn’t as interesting as the first one to me. I guess it was just really predictable in a boring way. I got to eighty percent of the book and was done because I knew how it was going to end. The whole self esteem and I’m not worthy of this type of man also didn’t move me. I did enjoy book 1.

Dreams do come true
Claudia thought that she not get a man like Jaden. She thought growing up poor and in getting into a lot of trouble. She did not see herself as worthy of love. I loved when Jaden told her that he or nobody is better than her because they have money. That is true not matter what everyone is equal.

Claudia and Jaden fell right into step with her best friend happily married to her mans brother, it made since to keep the group tight and together. Puerto Rico was the starting point. What a well written five star series. Keep reading those Rose brothers books and be thankful to Stephanie for her nice work.

Talk about hot!
Sexy Jaden thought that he was not ready to settle down, but after meeting Claudia, all of that went out the window. The scenes between these two were straight up sexy. Claudia did get on my nerves at times, but I loved these two together. Can’t wait to read more about these sexy men.

Another great listen from Stephanie Nicole Norris! Loving these Rose brothers! WesKobi did another great job bringing SNN's words to life. We get to see Jaden and Claudia's love story develop here from the first book. We also get some light dom moments from Jaeden/Jakobi which is hot af! Now I'm onto book #3!

Great flow
This story has a real feel for the characters in it. The love scenes are filled with passion and offer just enough to keep you turning the pages. The men are strong and intelligent. The women are beautiful and business minded.

More Than Enough
For Jaden, Claudia was more than enough. He didn’t see the flaws she saw within herself. Jaden saw dedication, strive and caring. I loved the second story as well as the first. The author always gives you an introduction to who’s book is next. On to Book 3.

These characters chemistry and connection just felt so real. You couldn't help but to get drawn in. It was like you felt the emotions they were feeling. Absolutely love this story.

Great Read
Stephanie Nicole Norris NEVER fails to write a page turner. I’m hooked on her work of art.
A Rose brother is definitely needed in my life. If this was a movie or tv series I’d definitely watch it.

So far, this is my favorite. This could have been classified as a romantic comedy. Carla and Adeline were a hoot, especially Adeline. I couldn’t stop laughing at their antics. I can’t help but highly recommend it.
