Review / Release Blitz: Beautiful Rose (Tortured Teager #1) by Vikki Jay


Release Date: January 7

Early in life Zander Teager, CEO of Elixir learned that not every Rose is beautiful... then he meets the nerdy, shy Rosemary.

My mother Rose’s actions changed me forever.
I hated her name all my life- until I met Rosemary Marlin, the geek with photographic memory and a tech wiz in my company.
My first day at the research division in the small town of Cherrywood, I find her sleeping on the couch while the whole office is busy searching for her.
She befuddles me everyday with her precise breakfast habits, baggy flannel shirts, red glasses, canvas shoes, Wolverine wallpaper. Her list of quirks is endless.

I am told to stay away as she battles with extreme anxiety issues.
But things get out of hand at a company party when I declare her my girlfriend to a room full of people.

That night, I learn about her... her wounds, her scars.

I wish I could go back in time and fix things for both of us.

But she has trained herself to not trust anyone.

Can I make her believe that I’m going to stay when no one else ever did?

MY REVIEW

Zander is enamored by his employee, Rose. But, she's got a lot of anxieties that will make it impossible to get to know her. Then there's the fact that he's got his own set of baggage. Can two people with trauma in their pasts find love together in their present?

This is a sweet, slow burn story with two absolutely lovable characters. The way Zander set about gently wooing Rose, convincing her he wasn't going anywhere, was sticking around. The way they healed together, healed each other was really quite beautiful. I cannot believe this is a debut novel - it's so good! And now I'm definitely looking forward to the next Teager to find love.


Meet Vikki Jay
In those early morning hours when I’m alone, my imaginations run wild and I pen down the life of people living in my head. I live in a small town in Germany. The friendships, the camaraderie that people share around me inspired me to create Cherrywood and St. Peppers, the two towns where all my stories take place.

I write about beautiful coincidences, finding love in unexpected places and times, and fighting hard to get that happily ever after.

I reject to read, see, write anything that does not promise a HEA.

My characters are sexy yet shy, strong yet reserved…

I am married to a man whom I fell in love at an age of 15, proposed him at an age of 23 and married at an age of 30. He has no clue what I write or do when he snoring quietly in the next room.

You TV series

Wow, hubby and I watched You on Lifetime last night. It was creepy and suspenseful. Hubby likened it to Dexter , and I have to agree. Penn Badgley was on point - creepy, stalkery, but fascinating. I didn't think too much of Elizabeth Lail's acting, but I'm not sure if it was just that her character was bland, or if it was truly bad acting. Can't wait for next week!
