About the author

Hey y’all! I’m just a regular girl born and breed in Houston, Texas who likes to write. I’ve been creating stories in my head since I was a kid and always felt I had a talent for reading comprehension. Armed with my love for stories and great reading skills i started to write. I started out writing simple fantasy books as those were my favorite genre of books then. Though I quickly found that I preferred a really good romance between the hero and heroine in the books I read. I noticed that if they didn’t have a good romantic chemistry between the two I didn’t read it. Years later after reading more books in the genre of romance. I find myself here today making this author page. I’m humbled that so many of you have read my work. I appreciate it beyond measure and hope to continue to provide what you guys are looking for.

I didn’t know I needed another book boyfriend..yet here we are

I didn’t know I needed Rose Marie to write this book, but clearly the universe knew before I did. As a proud, self-proclaimed fujoshi, I can say with my whole chest that Paz and Van have officially taken up permanent residence in my brain. Rent free. No plans of leaving.

The chemistry? Illegal. The tension? Delicious. My ability to function like a normal adult after reading? Completely gone.

Do yourself a favor and just download it already. Buy the book, read the book, and come back so we can all scream about Paz and Van together. I promise—you will not be disappointed. 😌📚🔥

100000000/10 loved every second of this book

I might be biased but I love all her books but this one takes the cake I can’t stop coming back to reread it😩

I really hate how she leaves the plot at the end to make a cliffhanger because I fall for it every time. I need the next book like tomorrow

[Arielle · Rating 4 out of 5]

great book hating the cliffhanger though

great book hating the cliffhanger though because I know it will probably be awhile before part 2

Magnificent!!!!!

OMG! I thought this book was going to be a turn off for me. Girl was I wrong! I never thought I would get a bit overly excited and stomach aching like pleasure. This is my first time reading a MM Omegaverse and Rose Marie never fails. I loved the part when Paz started fighting for his man Van and took the stand in whooping azzes. It sex scenes got me hot and bothered and that threw me off but made it even more interesting.
I can’t wait for the next book.

Please, please hurry up. Well, no take your time and try to out do the first. You always prevail!

Wow, I'm loving the M /M dynamic!
It was a page turner, kept me interested until the end . The group was crazy they got on my nerves especially Traxie and Cross !
Him having powers surprised me he kept saying him had them , he suppressed and hide them well.
But Van he surprised me sexy too and possessive and dominant loved it can't wait to the next book!

Paz and Van

I didn't think I would have enjoyed this book as much as I did. I think I have read about some of these characters in another book I am not completely sure. I am ashamed to say the sex had me and can't wait for the next story of the two main characters,just when he finds out that his mate they got separated.

Amazing

This my first M/M romance and I'm addicted. It might just be Rose Marie though because her writing is perfection. My heart stuttered at the ending! I need more ASAP! And my loves Frank and Jessica are in here too but their drama made me want to know what was going on there too! Just read this book you wont be disappointed.

[Marsha Thomas · Rating 5 out of 5]

WOW!!

She's done it again! This book was fantastic....I cannot wait to she what she wows us with next...WELL DONE....
Also I see the references to Frank and Jessica, and The Hunt book....wetting our appetite lol

[Caolan Ireland · Rating 1 out of 5]

I wanted to like this, and I enjoyed reading Paz's chapters, but the constant "Z's" in Van's POV chapters really took me out of it. You can give a character a foreign nationality and accent without constantly misspelling words, it's just really jarring.

🤩

This was a great book I loved every bit of it now i need part 2 I need Van and his Yad to be together

[M'rella]

I see a lot of (actually all of them) Amazon reviews, which is a real turn off for me personally. So is the annoying, almost unreadable blurb. I wonder if the whole book is like that *shrug*

[Simply Arjay · Rating 1 out of 5]

The accent was so hard to read. Got through it but it was a struggle! Extremely distracting.

[Kai · Rating 1 out of 5]

Boring and full of smut with no real character or story development. Felt Ai made.

I had never read a mm/ODR before, but I found this book interesting. Had to call my daughter to ask a few questions because I was confused about mom and dad. After she explained it everything was clear. I enjoyed this book waiting on book two. Awesome writing
